What is an indexed site?
An indexed site is a Web site that is added to the search engine index. The search engine finds sites to index by reading Web pages and following the links to other pages; this process is known as crawling or spidering. The search engine administrator defines which pages to read first, which pages are allowed to be indexed and which links are allowed to be followed. An example of an indexed site is http://www.psu.edu/, which is the first page the Penn State search engine reads.
