GoogleBot works like a digital explorer for Google. It roams across the internet automatically to find websites and add them to Google's huge search list. This special program visits pages all over the web, reads what's on them, and helps Google figure out where each page should appear in search results.

Search engines need these robot programs because the internet is way too big for humans to check every page by hand. The bots constantly move from link to link, discovering new sites and checking if old ones have changed. They look at your website code, text, images, and other parts to understand what your site offers. Without these bots, Google couldn't keep its search results fresh and accurate.

But not all bots help users. Some bad bots copy content from good websites just to steal it. These "scraper" bots take articles, photos, or entire pages without permission. The thieves behind these bots often use your stolen content on fake websites that make money through ads or scams. Many website owners protect their sites with special code that blocks these harmful bots but still allows friendly ones like GoogleBot to visit. Understanding how these programs work helps you make sure the right bots can see your website properly.
