Crawling

UPDATE: As of May 2nd, 2022
We offer two mapping structures: /directory/ and referral.



Prior to this date, all maps were generated using the /directory/ structure as the basis for generating the sitemap. It uses a breadth-first method, which simply means that URLs will be linked from their 'highest' link, in terms of their crawl depth.


For example:

Site.com ( the base URL you crawled )
- Site.com/product/
--- Site.com/product/shoes.html

will generate this tree structure:

However, if your URLs are setup like this :

Site.com ( the base URL you crawled )
- Site.com/product/
--- Site.com/shoes.html


We will generate this tree structure:

So if you wish to modify the structure to show a different relationship, then simply drag n drop the pages around as needed like so:

Other fundamental crawling rules we implemented:

  1. We only show internal, indexable, and non-indexable, <ahref> HTML URLs.

  2. We only show URLs with incoming links (sorry - no orphan URLs at this time)
