What is Googlebot, Crawling, and Indexing?

• The Googlebot is simply the search bot software that Google sends out to collect information about documents on the web to add to Google’s searchable index.
• Crawling is the process where the Googlebot goes around from website to website, finding new and updated information to report back to Google. The Googlebot finds what to crawl using links.
• Indexing is the processing of the information gathered by the Googlebot from its crawling activities. Once documents are processed, they are added to Google’s searchable index if they are determined to be quality content. During indexing, the Googlebot processes the words on a page and where those words are located. Information such as title tags and ALT attributes are also analyzed during indexing.

So how does the Googlebot find new content on the web such as new websites, blogs, pages, etc.? It starts with web pages captured during previous crawl processes and adds in sitemap data provided by webmasters. As it browses web pages previously crawled, it will detect links upon those pages to add to the list of pages to be crawled. If you want more details, you can read about them in Webmaster Tools Help.

Impact of Google Panda

What is Google Panda
Google Panda, the single name that is on every bloggers mind, has been trending since 2011. From one aspect, it is the latest change in search engine results algorithm brought about by Google. This new system has added an extra filter to refine the existing search results. From our second aspect, Google Panda is designed to reduce the present rankings of low-quality websites and blogs and boost sites that truly deserve to be termed as high-quality sites.
This new algorithm update was specifically meant for the low-quality sites that were enjoying the Top Section of their respective keywords or search terms. Since Google is the market leader in the online web search therefore in terms of maintaining their leadership this was a crucial step.


Impact of Google Panda based on Bounce Rate
Before the Panda came online, a particular search phrase would always include sites that had nothing to do with that search term. Now after the Google Panda update, sites that had low-quality, useless content have been filtered out and only the content-rich sites are given focus in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
The impact of Google Panda was beyond repair. Websites or Blogs that were created to provide blackhat online marketing tactics were severely slashed. More than million number of websites have been under this impact. Losing traffic was just the starting trend, once it gathered momentum, the project – PANDA started thwarting these sites to SERPs beyond the 100th mark.


Soon after Google had rolled out the Panda, many online forums, websites, including Google’s own webmaster forum, became the target point of complaints from various sections of the webmasters. The complaints was specifically about copyright infringements and scrapers that were getting a boost in their SERP rankings than those sites which were the original host of the real content. Google decided to ask for data collection points that would help them detect scrapers and copiers in a better way.
In the series of updates that followed the initial launch of Google Panda, some of the elements used to determine the site’s quality previously was a bit downgraded on the scale of their importance. One such factor is Google PageRank.

20+ Chrome Apps for Google Drive

This is an exciting week for personal cloud storage. We saw the official release of Microsoft SkyDrive, an update from Dropbox and the long awaited Google Drive.
Google Drive was a bit disappointing. Only 5GB space for free users (we expected more) and functionality wise only little more than Google Docs. In any case, third party apps for Google Drive are coming hard and fast. Here are some of the most interesting ones available for Google Chrome right now.

New Google Maps: Offline Mobile Access, Improved 3D

According to a report, the Google Maps team of the search giant just announced three new technologies yesterday that will create intricate and elaborate replicas of the real world detailed in a form of realism that no other mapping diagrams has ever done before.

The Google Maps team introduced three notable hi-tech features in Google Earth, including a feature to save offline maps in the Android Maps app, advanced 3D models of entire cities in Google Earth, and a new Android-controlled "Street View Trekker" backpack for capturing Street View images where bikes, cars and planes can't go.
These new mapping enhancements will be part of the next Google Earth feature set, giving people the ability to explore the world in a 45 degree dimension only possible via a live plane ride.

Google apparentlyused real planes flying back and forth around cities of the world to carefully calculate dimensions and models of cities the team have photographed and enhanced in 3D aspect. This process then results in an entire 3D replica of city structures set in a 45 degree aerial display.

As Google continues to push the limits of their mapping capabilities to the boundaries of reproducing 100 percent exact scale of the world's face, it's expected that people will no longer leave the comforts of their home to explore the entire Earth.

An app called Google Earth and Tour Guide is available in Google Play that'll let people explore the world altogether. The new Google Earth is coming to both Android and iOS devices very soon.

"By the end of the year we aim to have 3D coverage for metropolitan areas with a combined population of 300 million people."
