∙ 14y agoThe 'Deep' web is the part of the web that is not normally accessable to search engines, this is content that is restricted to subscription-only services. The services are normally academic in nature. A web site will allow a web crawler or spiderbot to access specific part of the website, such as the home page, about us pages and contact pages. However academic papers and other content is either on a pay per view or just does not need to be indexed by a search engine (such as administration sections of an ecommerce site). It is this content that is described as being 'The Deep web' because very little of it is actually 'seen' by web crawlers.
A file held within the 'root' web directory called a robots.txt file contains information on what a web crawler can actually index to the search engine it is crawling for.
Hope this helps to answer your questoion.
