Crawlers or robots are the programs of search engine which are released in order to collect information from the web pages in the World Wide Web. You must be wondering how your websites or web pages become listed in Google when you search about it. The mechanism is that the Google Crawler which is known as Googlebot use to crawl all the web pages in the World Wide Web and when it came across a new web pages with new contents, then it collects the information and it will get stored in the data base of Google.

But there are many crawlers and robots which are released by many other programs which slow down the server or sometimes which are not secure for the website because they will get the confidential information. In such situation, people use to block crawlers other than Googlebot because Googlebot is necessary to crawl in the web pages unless your web pages will not be listed in the Google search engine.

Sometimes many webmasters complain for Googlebot can’t access their sites. If Googlebot can’t access your websites, then ultimately your websites will not be listed in Google search engine. Sometimes it may be the cause of not showing of your websites in the Google search engine. If your hoster uses to block many crawlers, then by mistake they might have blocked the Googlebot also. Therefore you must use different crawlers blocking techniques which will not block Googlebot.
