Common Crawl

A public web crawl archive often used in training corpora and research.

Definition

Appearance in Common Crawl is a weak training-presence signal. BatSignal checks it as a small score component—not a substitute for live AI search citations.

In practice

  • Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
  • Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
  • Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
