There is one thing you have learned about robots, it is that there isabsolutely no pattern to them. Most robots are stupid and wander randomly.For example, 50% of robot hits to my sites ask for the robots.txt page andthen go away never asking for anything else. Then they come back a weeklater, ask for the same thing and then go away, again. This happens overand over again for months. You will never never figure it out. What arethey doing? If they wanted to see if the Web site was really a Web site,they could just Ping it. This would be much faster and much more efficient.They seldom visit another page and if they do, they ask for one other pageevery visit or so. Some come in and issue rapid-fire requests for everypage in the Web site. How rude! You have to quit worrying so much aboutrobots. It takes 6 months before they request enough pages to do you anygood. We really quit thinking about them a long time ago. Build a lot ofpages correctly, and, if you have reciprocal link s to them, the robots willfind them someday.
Try this: Go to AltaVista and type into the search box "link:YourSite.com"(Leave off the www). This will list the reciprocal links to your Web site.Try link:crownjewels.com and you get 136 links to it. Think about this now:The robots say to themselves, "Here is a site that must be popular or whywould so many Web sites SIMILAR to it have it's link on their pages?" Rememberthat only SIMILAR sites with SIMILAR THEMES would probably have a link toyour site. They give more importance to this than you submitting your linkto them. Wouldn't you?
Go to heavily trafficked sites matching your Web site's Themes and use AltaVistato find out how many reciprocal links they have. This will prove to youwe are right.
Search engines are nothing more than a measure of reciprocal links to yoursite. The problem is, you are constantly having to fight for your positioningin the search query listings. Forget about that. Leave the fighting to peoplewho are able to spend 24 hours a day trying to trick everybody. Quit tryingto compete with the large organizations pouring millions into their marketing.Completely forget about Search Engines after submitting to them and go afterthe reciprocal links. The Search Engines will then believe you are a heavilyvisited site because you will be. You will now be getting the traffic youso richly deserve.
Search engine visitors to your site, are oftentimes not qualified visitors.Too many visitors pop into your home page for 2 seconds and then leave.You know how it is. We all do it when we are using the search engines. Eitherit wasn't the information we were looking for, or they had this huge graphicon this stupid portal page, which just took forever to load. These visitorsshouldn't even count, but they get counted as 12-18 hits in your serverlogs. Hits are requests to the server. One page request can incur a lotof hits: requests to the page itself plus the graphics, each count as ahit.
Reciprocal links bring in qualified visitors. These are visitors who werealready on a Web site which had matching Themes to yours. They already havea good idea of what type of site you are. They will come into your siteand actually stay awhile. These visitors should count as double credit,they are so good.
We know which type of visitor we would rather have.
How do you get people to WANT to put your link on their Web sites? Why woulda similar site put a link to your site on theirs? Simple, you have similarThemes. You are similar, but not competition.
There is one very important lesson to be learned from this crazy robot behavior.You need to make the navigation in your Web site so easy that a visitorcan find any page within 2 clicks of your home page. One way of doing thisis installing hidden DotLinks. Dotlinks are little periods that are linkedto other pages which are not really noticeable on your page if you put itas a period. Although they are not easily seen by the human eye, they area link that a robot can follow in your Web site. When you do this, robotscan find your pages faster and more easily.
