How Search Engines Find Documents?
Every document on the Web is associated with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). In this context, we will use the terms “document” and “URL” interchangeably. This is an oversimplification, as some URLs return different documents to the user depending on such factors as their location, browser type, form input etc., but this terminology suits our purposes for now.

To find every document on the Web would mean more than finding every URL on the Web. For this reason, search engines do not currently attempt to locate every possible unique document, although research is always underway in this area. Instead, crawling search engines focus their attention on unique URLs; although some dynamic sites may display different content at the same URL (via form inputs or other dynamic variables), search engines will see that URL as a single page.

The typical crawling search engine uses three main resources to build a list of URLs to
crawl. Not all search engines use all of these:
Hyperlinks on existing Web pages
Submitted URLs
XML data feedS

What is BLOG?
Short form for weblog, a blog is a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for public consumption. It is a convenient way to make your ideas and opinions known or to publish more formal articles on specific topics, and to develop commentaries around them.
