The search engine spider starts with the web address (URL) you entered when you signed-up. It reads all the links on that page. Those links which start with the same URL are then read by the spider. It then looks for links on those pages that start with the same URL as the one you signed-up with, and reads them, and so forth. Once all pages have been read an index is built and an email is sent to you informing you of the results. Here we see a simplified example, showing a site with six pages, and a link to someone else's web site. The spider would start by reading your home page and following the links to other pages on your site (blue lines). It will not follow links to sites that are not yours (red line). In this example pages in white will be indexed, and gray ones ignored.
