What is the difference between crawling and cashing.

Both information are much to increase my knowledge about Crawling and Cashing..

Great information you have share with us in very easy manners and i am completely agree with your points and explanation, these things are very important to understand for every newbie in SEO field.

Web crawler is a computer program that browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner or in an orderly fashion. Other terms for Web crawlers are ants, automatic indexers, bots, Web spiders, Web robots,or especially in the FOAF community Web scutter..

Caching can happen at many places, including proxies (i.e. the user�s ISP) and the user�s local machine. The objective is to make efficient use of resources and speed the delivery of content to the end user.While caching can have a positive impact on the user�s experience, it can have a negative impact for site publishers, resulting in undercounts of page views and ad impressions. In response to this problem, sites have implemented various cache-busting techniques to better ensure that all performance statistics are accurately measured.

Thanks for the post.its very informative...

Cashing is a snapshot of what the crawler found on your site.

Crawling is the process in which spiders move on every page of your site and fetch data from your site.
Indexing is where search engine has crawled the web and ranks the URLs found using various criteria and places them in the database, or index.

The main difference in crawling and cashing is its processor in search engine like every search engine 1st of all crawling to any site the cashing it.

Thanks brother the such great answer..

Crawling

There is a hidden, relentless force that permeates the web and its billions of web pages and files, unbeknownst to the majority of us sentient beings. I'm talking about search engine crawlers and robots here. Every day hundreds of them go out and scour the web, whether it's Google trying to index the entire web, or a spam bot collecting any email address it could find for less than honorable intentions. As site owners, what little control we have over what robots are allowed to do when they visit our sites exist in a magical little file called "robots.txt."

"Robots.txt" is a regular text file that through its name, has special meaning to the majority of "honorable" robots on the web. By defining a few rules in this text file, you can instruct robots to not crawl and index certain files, directories within your site, or at all. For example, you may not want Google to crawl the /images directory of your site, as it's both meaningless to you and a waste of your site's bandwidth. "Robots.txt" lets you tell Google just that.

Caching

Google's cache has been around in the search results for a long time. In fact, Google's cache is often ignored in SEO strategy and analysis. But using it can provide you with a lot of information that can increase leads, sales, user satisfaction and even offer clues to existing problems with your website. This article will examine Google's cache page in detail and recommend possible ways to use the information provided in your search engine optimization strategy.

Basic components of Google's cache

Before we dive deeper, a short introduction to Google's cache is helpful. You can see the Google cache of your website/web pages in three different ways.

Method 1: When you visit the URL that you need to view in the Google cache, click the Google toolbar (e.g using Firefox browser); in the drop down, click "Google snapshot of page."

Method 2: In the Google search result showing the URL that you need to view, click the "Cache" link.

Method 3: In the Google search box, type:

cache:www.thisisyourdomain.com/thisisthepage.htm

Or if you are checking for your home page:

cache:www.thisisyourdomain.com/
