    A web crawler (also known as a web spider or web robot) is a program or automated script which browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner. This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many legitimate sites, in particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up-to-date data.

    Crawler bots and robots are same. This is an application written in a programming language. This application is used to fetch new and existing websites, a web page from the net. All search engines have their own crawlers.

    A crawler is a program that visits Web sites and reads their pages and other information in order to create entries for a search engine index. The major search engines on the Web all have such a program, which is also known as a "spider" or a "bot." Crawlers are typically programmed to visit sites that have been submitted by their owners as new or updated. Entire sites or specific pages can be selectively visited and indexed.

    Crawler also known as Robot, Bot or Spider. These are programs used by search engines to explore the Internet and automatically download web content available on web sites.

    A crawler is a program used by search engines to collect data from the internet. When a crawler visits a website, it picks over the entire website’s content (i.e. the text) and stores it in a databank. It also stores all the external and internal links to the website. The crawler will visit the stored links at a later point in time, which is how it moves from one website to the next. By this process the crawler captures and indexes every website that has links to at least one other website.

    A search engine crawler (also known as spider, robot, or simply a bot) helps them do so by searching new information on the internet. Google's web crawler is known as 'Google Bot'.They crawl through a website-a page at a time, following the links to other pages on the site until all pages have been read
