In the DubBot app, you can create Sites. A Site is just what it sounds and reads like. You customize DubBot crawls for your entire website. Or, as best practices suggest, you can "break" your website into smaller sites to make crawling faster. For example, if you have https://mysite.com with a blog section, you can create a Site for https://mysite.com/blogs. You have the same ability to customize crawls, whether your entire site or just a smaller section.
Page Sets, on the other hand, allow users to gather pages from various Sites for reporting purposes or fine-tuning access levels. Pages are collected based on user-defined rules that include or exclude them from within your chosen Sites. Rules can be based on the page name, location (path), or title. For example, you can select all of the "About Us" pages from your main website, the English department website, the Athletics website, and the IT department website.
The primary difference between the two setups is that Page Sets get content from Sites, which actually crawl the content. Page Sets don't crawl sites; they gather data from crawled Sites.
And Page Sets are great for limiting user access to a specific area of an already configured site. They are also an excellent tool for gathering page-check information from various sources.
Here’s a fun fact about Page Sets: A client who now works at DubBot presented the idea! That's right, our own Joanie Chembars.
While Joanie was Director of Web Communications at the University of North Georgia, she and her team needed a way to group pages for specific team members to monitor and track without having to create a new Site and re-crawl content whenever they needed a different grouping.
As the Support Team at DubBot does exceptionally well and quite often, they listened to Joanie and her team's needs and worked with them to build and implement Page Sets.
Joanie is now a member of that Support Team and helps guide new DubBot users on setting up Sites, Page Sets, and much more. We like to think of that as serendipitous.

A human author creates the DubBlog posts. The AI tool Gemini is sometimes used to brainstorm subject ideas, generate blog post outlines, and rephrase certain portions of the content. Our marketing team carefully reviews all final drafts for accuracy and authenticity. The opinions and perspectives expressed remain the sole responsibility of the human author.
