How can Googlebot crawl and index pages that don't have any links to them on my website? I find each day two or three pages in the index that don't have any links to them on my site. The pages are generated by the search field of my website.

  • Very good question, but I really wanted to know from Matt if there are any other ways for Googlebot to discover and index new pages, besides with link crawling. For example, does Googlebot use the data from Google Chrome browsers too for discovery new webpages?

  • how can I make google give me an iphone4s ? :((

  • Nice Googlebot! This is very relevant to all users. Magaling!

  • If the pages are generated by the search field of the website, then they are linked to somewhat.

  • @SEOLEX Your right, however I believe that when Matt mentioned robots.txt he was more or less referring to URL's googlebot will discover by self-fulfilled forms and not from other sites.

  • Lame!

  • "googlebot is very broke and don't have a credit card" lmao best saying ever!

  • @tubester4567 Simply because the search results are sorted by their relevance
