easy to find and worth nothing if it cannot be found. Perhaps 80% or more of the traffic to your site will come from the search
engines, making it important that the robots also find your site navigable.

the search engines instead of the phone books. Understanding how search engines and directories work is important so that you can
make your site easier to find.
