Search Engines, what are they?

They are software programs that gather information form web sites on the internet and place the information into a data base. When a request is made for information on a subject, the search engine goes to the data base and displays the information for you to view.

Another term used when talking about search engines are spiders. Some people explain the action of the search engines like a spider going over a site to gather the information. So when a site is visited by a search engine, you may hear your site was visit by a spider. So now you know you need to feed the spiders if you want to get your web site listed in a data base.

The largest known search engine is Google. Yahoo is also well known but not as large.There are other lesser known search engines. The internet is too large even for two search engines, thus each search engine has a network of engines covering the various parts of the internet. If one search engine doesn’t have what you are looking for, try another one.

So what do these engines search for when going over your web site?

In the English language words can mean different
things. Many common words used on the internet
convey different meanings.

A sales page that tells about using the ” back end”
to produce more income, does not suggest using a
body part. It is a way to describe the sales process.
The front end is when you come into a store
through the door,or first see the web site. You enter
the first part of the sale process.

The sales presentation is given. You accept the offer.
Then you are taken to another page that show a
special offer. It may be for a bigger. better, more bells
and whistles version of the product. Or it could be for
something to be used with the product such as an
extra ink cartridge for your new printer. And that is
how the back end is used to sell more to the customer.

Next time you see a product that is at a great low
price and you think- how can someone sell at that
price?- remember there may be a back end product
to help with the low price product.

Click on “comment” and tell if you ever seen this back
end product sell used on any web sites that you
purchased from.
