Who Wants To Attract Spiders?

Spiders You Want To Attract… Web Crawlers

What Are Web Crawlers?

Well, according to Wikipedia, their definition is:

“A web crawler (also known as a web spider or web robot or – especially in the FOAF community – web scutter) is a program or automated script which browses the World Wide Web in a methodical, automated manner. Other less frequently used names for web crawlers are ants, automatic indexers, bots, and worms.”

This is a process that is also known as spidering. This process is used by the search engines in order to provide the most up-to-date information. This information is then used to make the searches for you and me much faster. For instance, you have a website about how to finish a basement, you got the information, therefore, you want the engines to know about your site… so when someone searches this topic, voila, your site comes up in their search.

Web crawlers are also used for maintenance purposes, such as link validation and checking HTML codes. Another use is for gathering specific information from the Web, such as email address harvesting which is mainly used for spamming purposes.

Why Do You Want Web Crawlers Coming To Your Site?

You want these web crawlers coming to your site to improve your rankings. When Google and MSN use Web crawlers, they are actually analyzing an unlimited amount of Web sites, finding which ones are relevant for the most popular keywords. When you are using a good SEO, you will be showing these Web crawlers that your Website is one to be seen. It will determine whether your site is unique enough to provide information and data for a specific search.

Do All Web Crawlers Work the Same Way?

As you can see, even spiders make their style of web… as do the search engines…

No, Google, Yahoo, MSN, all have their own methods and formula for ranking, and they do not share their formulas with anyone, a highly guarded secret. But I can tell you that they will look at several factors concerning each Web site, checking its importance and overall relevance to a particular topic. They will take the keyword or keywords you are using, and use this to determine whether your page is relevant or not.

You do not need to worry so much about how heavy your keyword saturation is… if you put it in too many times, then they will pick up on that and it will hurt you in the long run. You need to put your keywords in as it pertains to your article and Web site, write for your readers, not for the Web crawlers and search engines.

Back-linking and Why It Is Important

Web crawlers will take a look at how many links there are coming to your site (its popularity), what kind of sites are linked, their quality and popularity, and so forth. Getting back-links to your site builds up your relevance in the eyes of the search engines as you can see in the illustration below.

How Do You Get These All Important Links?

Ask for them! The most popular method of the “experts” is to just ask your readers for links. If you go to a blog and leave a link or comment, just ask them to do the same for you… and guess what… they will! If there is something to gain for a blogger to link to your blog, then you can bet that he or she will do it. First, get to know them, write a blog about them, become a friend with them, then once that relationship is built, you have a friend who will provide you some great back-links.

What Can You Put In PutPlace?

Do you have a lot of digital data sitting around with no place to go?

For all you digital heads, this is a great site for you to check out. There are a lot of sites out there that offer a place for you to store all your digital data, as long as they stay in business.

We gather so much data on our cell phones, digital cameras, videos, mp3 players and more… what to do with all this data! I don’t know about you, but I also have a lot of emails, videos, pictures, and documents that I want to preserve, audio clips, etc…. and I would like to have them all in one place, a place where my stuff can be organized as well as easily accessed. A person only has so much time in their life, and to be spending it backing up digital files is not something we would like to be spending all our free time on.

Well, I have found a great site for just this purpose. It is called putplace, a software along with service that will secure, organize and share your digital data with whomever you choose. You can have your digital data and your life too!

So, what is putplace?

It is a virtual storage solution which will organize as well as distribute your photos, videos, and anything else you want to store. I must admit, the other storage sites are pretty safe, but they don’t have the software capabilities to organize and share your media, turning this into a social media sharing site for you. You get to send your files to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr , wherever, and still have your master copy safe and secure in putplace. You can make as many changes to your data as you like, your original will still be safe and sound.

What Can You Put In putplace ?

Do you have a lot of digital data sitting around with no place to go? You can send your videos to YouTube, your favorite pics to Flickr, you want to share it, you can, while keeping it all nice and orderly in putplace.

There are other storage sites that are looking to create a more integrated approach such as putplace. An example is OpenBox which can be accessed through Box.net as a third party service. Putplace is still new, the software is in private beta and can only be used in Windows. You Mac users can look forward to this in the near future. The service is also free right now, but in the future there will be a subscription model applied. So, while the get in is free, check it out.

Have You Ever Wanted To Be An Author?

Picture this…

A delivery truck pulls up to your doorstep, a man gets out of the truck and hands you your first box of books, then within 60 days of that delivery – that book becomes an international best-seller and sells over 60,000 copies.

You might remember as I mentioned before, I myself am working on this goal and I am looking forward to achieve it in January 2009. 🙂

Well, that’s exactly what happened to a friend of mine…

Christopher Guerriero
With my friend Christopher Guerriero at the World Internet Summit seminar in Sydney

…and now he’s handing out a complete, un-edited video training program to help me, and a few others to successfully write a highly profitable book!

It’s called The Rich Author Training Files.

(and this isn’t a fluff-filled, salesy video – in fact there’s not 1 drop of sales in it – it’s a full video training program that he’s giving away to the first 100 people who grab it)

I didn’t even have to enter my name, email or anything else … as soon as I went to the web site the video was just there, playing for free…

Wanna see it?

www.AutomaticBestseller.com

This guy’s amazing … he had no experience, no contacts, and no clue where to begin, but he was able to write his book and sell over 60,000 copies in the first 60 days!

…if you’ve ever wanted to have a book of your own, or to become well known, or to create something that would live on for generations after you … then watch this training video now, and there’s also a set of Quick Start audios for free as well…

All places are nearly gone… The Freedom Class

Have you heard of Tim Brocklehurst?

He was first introduced to me by a JV broker in late 2006 and we cross promoted each others sites.

Already back then I was amazed about his ability to generate sales as he quickly became one of my top 10 commission earners.

In September 2007 we met the first time in person when he was speaking on stage at the World Internet Main Event in San Francisco, USA.

Because of is British accent and Bond like look, many refer to him as the 007 of Internet Marketing. But to me he is more the “Ethan Hunt” of Internet Marketing as
the viral techniques he teaches make the Impossible Mission possible…

… to equip you with all the skills and all the tools to run your own automatic business generating all the income you ever need in just 2 days!

This time last year he launched MyViralSpiral.com and achieved 27,000 in 22 hours with just 4 JV partners – he’s renowned as an ultra-fast listbuilder, and built a list of 40K in 8 months from scratch.

Less then a month ago I met him again, this time he was speaking at the World Internet Summit in Sydney, Australia… that’s when he told me about the Freedom Class that he is teaching around the globe…

… Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Orlando and London.

He asked me if he could interview me on stage at the Sydney event April 26th / 27th and I agreed.

There I will reveal how exactly Colin and I have been able to generate 226,000 in sales with ViralURL in just 5 month.

Anyway, as mentioned, Tim is running a series of live laptop workshops. He’s staging them around the world, and they’re all happening in the next few weeks.

These are small-size workshops with maximum attention. They’re nearly full, just with Tims own subscribers, but he has just invited a few of his friends to promote it too, and I’m among them.

When I just checked, there where only between 2 and 15 seats left at each event.

I’ll will be personally attending the Freedom Class in Sydney as a presenter and it would be great to see you there, if there’s still room.

His objective is to get participants up and running with their own Internet Business, generating a list of over 5,000 in two months and revenues of over $66,000 in eight.

He is so sure about his system for creating such success, that he isn’t going to charge you the full price unless it really does reach that 66K target.

ViralURL.com/presents/FreedomClass

This is quite unlike any other learning course you might have seen, and I recommend you take a good look at what is on offer here if you’re serious about making a success of your efforts online.

Tim is using Action Learning as his method for getting your business up and running. This means not only will you *learn* how to do it, but also you’ll actually *do* it, with him, in the class.

There’s a lot in this package, much of it can be started straight away, prior to attending the class. So if you need some direction and purpose to your business, this could be the way forward.

You’ll get the full schedule of events, plus how many seats are left, at this link:

ViralURL.com/presents/FreedomClass

But be sure to register, even if there isn’t a class near you yet. As you’ll see inside, there is also a comprehensive Home Action pack, and plenty of goodies to help you along your way.

Just remember: By their nature, these classes will be restricted in numbers. There aren’t many seats left, so if you like the idea of learning and doing your business at the same time, with Tim, be sure to grab a seat while you can.

P.S – Tim mentioned to me that it’s unlikely that he will run another series of Freedom Classes, and once they’re full, that’s it. If you like what you see, be sure to get it while you still can.

P.P.S – Even if all these locations are out of your way, make sure to register for free anyway to get access to his valuable viral marketing tools and information!
