website crawler

Web crawler often refers to the program employed by many search engines to search the web. Website crawler is another commonly used phrase for a website crawler software.  Although website crawler programs are used by search engines they can be created to search for more specific information from the web.  A custom web crawler will simulate a person viewing a web site with a browser. With these programs you can connect to a web page and request a page, exactly as a browser would do.  The web server will send back the page which you can then manipulate or take specific information from, this is sometimes referred to as website crawler programming.  Common uses for web crawlers are collecting, pictures, content, images or other information on the webpage.  For instance a market researcher may use website crawler software to collect customer information and specific customers emails for a marketing campaign.  A scientific researcher may use a web crawler to collect statistical data from several websites for their research.  A business may use a web crawler download to collect and compare pricing options from their competitor's websites.  Or may use a web picture crawler to iterate through a website and download all the pictures to a data set.
