SPIDER: Hence, "Google spiders" is another name for "Google indexing bots". Spider - a browser like program that downloads web pages.

Crawler- Crawling takes place when there is a successful fetching of unique URIs which can be traced from valid links from other web pages.

Spider- A spider is a program run by a search engine to build a summary of a website’s content (content index). Spiders create a text-based summary of content and an address (URL) for each webpage.
