request a plurality of servers to simultaneously retrieve current versions of tags associated with the websites on the Internet;

for each website, determine if the tags associated with the website have changed by comparing the current version of the tags to the copy of the tags in the first database; and if the tags have changed, update the copy of the website associated with the tags in the first database;
