Additional info regarding
Self-Promotion of your site(s) to Search Engines (courtesty Robert
Kaindl)
Most search engines have basically 3 parts:
First is the " Spider ",
otherwise called a " Robot ". The spider
visits a web page, reads it, and then follows links to other pages
within the site. This is what it means when someone refers
to a site being "spidered" or "crawled."
The spider returns to the site on a regular basis, such as every
month or two, to look for changes.
Secondly is the " Indexing ".
Everything the spider finds goes into a search engine is the index.
The index, sometimes called the database, is like a giant
library containing a copy of every web page that the spider finds.
If a web page changes, then this book is updated with new information.
Sometimes it can take a while for new pages or changes that the
spider finds to be added to the index. Thus, a web page
may have been "spidered" but not yet "indexed."
Until it is indexed, it is not available to those searching with
the search engine.
And Thirdly is the part of a search engine
that formats the " Ranking " software.
This is the program that sifts through the millions of pages recorded
in the index to find matches to a search and rank them in order
of what it believes is most relevant.
All search engines have the basic parts described above, but there
are differences in how these parts are tuned. That is why
the same search on different search engines often produces different
search results.
There is nothing really magical about any given search engine's
search results. Keyword density and link
popularity is based on direct hard work. Working
together in related fields helps promote each other independently
by linking through each of us commutability.
Thanks again for linking sites!
