Finally, I began running AdSense the last week of February, and began getting hits from the Google MediaBot.
Google loves Google and with all three robots present going through my site now, even my newest pages are usually indexed and cached within 2-3 days. I'm hoping to finally crack into some decent SERP with Google and hence more traffic and visitors. (Right now, I kick butt in Yahoo! and MSN for my keywords, but have yet to scratch Google!)
Patience, professionalism and persistence will pay off - or so I keep telling myself.
Hope this helps, or maybe gives you some more ideas.
Good Luck ~ Happy Surfing!

Hi,
My first post on this forum! I have always wanted to ask some questions. It will be great if someone can help me with this.
How do you know that spidering is going on? Is there any tool that tells you that your website is being spidered etc. How do you know which search engine crawled through your site?

A small Query
Why doesn't google show all of the links to my site?
Google has always shown only a sample of the links coming into your site. These links are updated in the search results every 3 - 6 weeks. Even though google only shows a small sample, this does not mean that google doesn't count the other backlinks when displaying search results. Google updates its search result pages for standard searches continuously, and these search results take into account all links that google has found.
Could you please more clarify... you mean to say that as google shows first 1000 results in SERPs..in the same way it shows some of the backlinks.. but for some sites it shows 20 and for some 100...what is the basis for displaying the backlinks
*** to view backlinks, we use:
link:www.abc.com
but i think we must use
abc.com -site:www.abc.com
Please advice.............

Chandan you have to look in your website's "control panel" area (like the cPanel login if that's what your hosts use) and look at the WebStats. There should also be an area for "RAW access logs" and you can download that and view it in Notepad, although it's a bit hard to read in it and VERY slow to open if the file is large. There are free readers on the new to view Raw access logs. If you're hosts don't use cPanel then you'll have to ask them how to get access to this area.
(If you happen to reply to this I'll never see the reply since I have yet to ever receive any of the email notifications).

Newest Google screw-ups....uhhh, updates
Hi all. There doesn't seem to much info on this thread regarding what happened with Google May 21st. For those of you wanting to know about this ridiculous " PR"; how to get listed in G; "my site hasn't been picked up by G", etc., etc., it would be a good idea to read what's going on. Don't do anything to your sites now, it's a total waste of time.
http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=46401 (4th post from the bottom on 1st page)
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/ (See "Google Bourbon Update Pt. 3". That may change to part 4 soon as there are roughly some ~2500 posts now).
And, http://google-watch.org/ for some very interesting info regarding G.
For those of us depending on G for our businesses: God help us all.

In finance there is a saying:
"What everyones knows isn't worth knowing."
What is the next wave of SEO, PPC, AdWords, LinkExchange, Ezine Ad, LinkBrokerage etc. etc.
My own view, the BOT's will get smarter, and the various techniques for Ad bombing will be revealed. Searchengines that are best on content will win in the end.
I like this http://www.factbites.com/ engine.
The next generation of surfers will require more than getting a list of (often repeated) links in the same search. You should be able to ask the engine like you ask a human being in a library, a sort of artificial intelligence (AI) option will be one possibility.
What about the invisible web search engine
http://www.incywincy.com/
It has a relatively high Google pagerank.

RSS feeds or a blog aren't going to help that much yet. You should focus on your existing site before adding things like these to it. Here are my recommendations:
Make a sitemap with static links to all the pages on your site using relevant anchor text.
You need to have more text on the home page with keywords that you are targeting in the text. Replace the image text at the top with actual text.
You need a lot of links into your homepage and sub pages. Make sure the links have the anchor text you want your site to rank for in them.
Make the 'Home' links go to the address:
http://www.realclassykids.com/onlinestore/
and not:
http://www.realclassykids.com/online...ain_page=index
The more you use variables in your links, the harder it is to rank properly.
I would personally remove the ads from the bottom, and remove the IP address from the bottom.
Mainly, you need to stick around this and other SEO related forums and learn SEO in depth. Your site needs a lot of work as far as optimizing to rank well goes. Ranking a site is not something that is going to happen over night.

WMW seems like a lot of mis-information, so they need a GoogleGuy to put a stop to the wrong info there. We don't need one here because we have whole host of those in the know.

PR definition?
Sorry for the stupid question but what does a "PR5" page rank mean? Does that mean you are the fifth listing in the search results on page 1 of the results or that you are on page 5 or ???

It means if you go to that page with the google toolbar installed, it shows a PageRank of 5/10. It's just based upon link popularity. It has nothing to do with search results or where you'll rank. It's really got little value any more, but it used to be all that people cared about, and to newbies it many times is all they care about.

PR Definition - thanks
Thanks for the definition. I felt like I was the only one who didn't know and was afraid to ask.

Does Google penalise php? Even Google sitemaps???
Google sitemaps has got 4 out of 5 of my new websites listed within about 3 days.
One or two of them appearing and staying on the 1st page!
What I can't understand though, is one site which is a stock photography site doesn't appear anywhere and buried so deep, God only knows where? and yet I've used the same keywords as other highly ranked photo libraries and same textual content. It's nothing about backlinks either.
I'm just perplexed that a quality low cost royalty free and rights managed stock photos library - http://www.photo-image-stock.com isn't getting anywhere when the other sites I put up are steaming ahead. Could it be they're php the majority of the pages?
Anyone any ideas???
By the way... If anyone takes a look and can't see the 'search library'orange image to the far left, it's down to Windows XP and the faulty patch they released that you may have!!! Don't you just love it when they not only release faulty wares... but then release faulty patches!!!

Hits and Unique Visits

Hits and unique visitors are two different things
You will have to compute by dividing the total hits by the number of items on your page, eg. if you have 5 images on your home page then each will count as 1 hit.
secondly you need a good tracking program installed on the server to make some sence of your website traffic.
I personally like http://awstats.sourceforge.net/. It gives detailed breakdown of this info.

How do I find out if my host has been banned by Google?
Im using a free host at the moment http://wwww.1l.com
All my pages http://www.murdertodiefor.1l.com are listed on MSN and 3 pages are listed on Yahoo but, even though I use Google sitemaps, I'm a member of Adsense and Googlebot visits my site at least twice a day I'm still not listed on Google.
Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

With regard to DMOZ/ODP, Iknow this is a Google forum but wrmineo wrote

If you're concerned and it's been a few months, they have a forum ran by their editors where you can post a query. If it's been rejected, or it's in the qeue, they'll generally give you some feedback.

Unfortunately the forum at http://resource-zone.com/forum/ no longer accepts querys about site status, any mention of site status will be blocked.
Very helpful!!
You now have no way of knowing if your site will ever get listed.
The only answer is to submit and then forget it.
Best of luck.
