The Invisible Web
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008Back in 2000, Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineWatch wrote about the growing “invisible web” here. Since then, search engines have made a lot of changes in their algorithms to index as much of the invisible web as possible.

What is invisible web?
When you want to search for something over the web, you mostly use search engines for that. You type a keyword in the search box and get the relevant results. These results returned to you by the search engine are stored in a database and form the “index” of the search engine. In short, these are the pages that match your query and the search engines knows about them.
