Spider-Friendly Webpage
Search engines have personality all there own. A couple of significant things
to remember are that in order to make your webpage noticed by a search engine
you website must contain a certain quality. Search engine make money by showing
their ads to make profits. Search engines get more customers is by searching
for websites that best match the keywords the user typed in. so if your website
contains the most useful to their customers then the search engine will rank
your website high because that is one important ways for search engines to make
money.
Basically a search engine is a computer program called spider which downloads
peoples webpage's, reads the text and then links onto your webpage. The program
then decides where to place your website based on the information it collects.
This process is called crawling because the spider program crawls all over the
internet searching for information.
Occasionally computer programs break especially if they are over used just
like your personal computer will start up slow or become slow or even crash
if you have to many applications running at one time the exact same problem
occurs with search engines they get overloaded and squish their own spider per
say.
Your website must be laid out in a certain fashion so that the search engine
spider can find your website, if your website is prepared in a disorganized,
or confusing way your website will be crawled over or rarely visited because
the search engine can't understand what to do with your chaotic information,
so it is important if you want a descent ranking to have you content in order.
Search engines have to work very hard and crawl over zillions of webpage's
from all over the world to find your information in only a few seconds. It is
the job of the website owner to make sure their website is easily spotted when
being crawled over by the search engines so that you won't be left out.
Creating a spider-friendly search engine won't land you in the top ranking
positions, but it will make sure that you're not losing rank because your website
is difficult to find and crawl.
How to develop Spider-Friendly Webpage
Design
Well-Formed HTML
..tags should be closed to avoid the use of outdated source code method which
cause the search engine to become confused and fail to distinguish your HTML
code source..
Keep your URLs
Simple
Most search engine spider does not have a long stamina which is improving in
how long and rapid they generate a URL. A site with a shorter URL will be crawled
more effectively.
Session Ids
Search engines sometimes have a problem with session ids because session ids
create larger number of links for the search engine to crawl..
Utility
of a Flat Directory Structure The flat ones are easy to reach by the Search
Engine. Obviously, the search engine takes time to reach the pages deep down.
The page that contains the link directory should be up front.
Using a Sitemap
When there are multiple pages, and you don't want to put them deep down making
it difficult for the search engine to find it, then you can design a sitemap.
Having the robots.txt File in Shape
Some times the shopping cart gets indexed. Here is the need to
tell the search engine to skip these files. Rather one would want to index the
sales or information pages.
Keeping each page within 101k
Search engines use only 101k size of HTML code on a page to take the index basing upon which it searches.
JavaScript, Frames, and Flash animation
These pages with Frames, JavaScript, and Flash animation are not used by search engines
normally because of their challenges. But there are certain procedures that
can be taken help of to use these effectively.
