Important Terms in Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Googlebot (Google Crawler/spider/robot) –
"Crawler" is a generic term for any software program (such as a robot or spider) used to automatically discover and scan websites from one webpage to another. Google crawler is called Googlebot. It runs all time. It comes any time on websites.
Crawling
Crawling is the process by which Googlebot discovers new and updated pages to be added to the Google index.
We use a huge set of computers to fetch (or "crawl") billions of pages on the web. The program that does the fetching is called Googlebot (also known as a robot, bot, or spider). Googlebot uses an algorithmic process: computer programs determine which sites to crawl, how often, and how many pages to fetch from each site.
Google's crawl process begins with a list of web page URLs, generated from previous crawl processes, and augmented with Sitemap data provided by webmasters. As Googlebot visits each of these websites it detects links on each page and adds them to its list of pages to crawl. New sites, changes to existing sites, and dead links are noted and used to update the Google index.
Google doesn't accept payment to crawl a site more frequently, and we keep the search side of our business separate from our revenue-generating AdWords service.
Indexing
Googlebot processes each of the pages it crawls in order to compile a massive index of all the words it sees and their location on each page. In addition, we process information included in key content tags and attributes, such as Title tags and ALT attributes. Googlebot can process many, but not all, content types. For example, we cannot process the content of some rich media files or dynamic pages.
Google Algorithm Updates:
Google Panda Update
Google Penguin Update
Google Mobile Friendly Update
1.What is The Google Panda Update?
Google’s Panda Update is a search filter introduced in February 2011 meant to stop sites with poor quality content from working their way into Google’s top search results. Panda is updated from time-to-time
2. What Is The Google Penguin Update?
Google launched the Penguin Update in April 2012 to better catch sites deemed to be spamming its search results, in particular those doing so by buying links or obtaining them through link networks designed primarily to boost Google rankings. When a new Penguin Update is released, sites that have taken action to remove bad links (such as through the Google disavow links tool or to remove spam may regain rankings. New sites not previously caught might get trapped by Penguin. “False positives,” sites that were caught by mistake, may escape.

Back links and its importance in SEO
Back links are incoming links to a webpage.
When a webpage links to any other page, it’s called a back link. In the past, back links were the major metric for the ranking of a webpage. A page with a lot of back links tended to rank higher on all major search engines, including Google. This is still true to a large extent.
