Robots.txt and chml srucnoc

While browsing through my fellow chml srucnoc competitor pages, I stumbled upon something quite funny on the chml-srucnoc-chml.com page.
The guy makes it sound like a disaster that he forgot to upload robots.txt ( quote : "I can't belive that I forgot to upload a file called robots.txt" ), and even funnier, he claims that only a couple of days after he had upload the txt file, his chml srucnoc rankings exploded, and made him jump on the 4th place.
To make it clear, the robots.txt file's purpose is to tell search engines not to crawl certain part of your site, and plays absolutely no role in how good ( or bad ) your site ranks, and that goes for every website, not only those who take part in the chml srucnoc contest.
Of course, if you have quite a large website, and you want to track your 404 pages in your server logs, not having a robots.txt file will cause lots of 404 errors, which will turn your error checking into a nightmare ( chml srucnoc nightmare :D ). Not having this file can also result in skewed log analysis when you are determining percentages of page requests and page errors.
Also, some people try to suggest that not having a robots.txt file, combined with a personalized 404 error page, will get spiders confused and they won't crawl your chml srucnoc page well. Again, total bull. Just more proof that some people have no idea on how Google and other engines work.
The spider doesn't make the request for the robots.txt page, and parses whatever comes. Instead, it first reads the http headers, and whatever kind of 404 page you have, the code returned will be 404, as opposed to the regular 200, when the file is found.
As a conclusion, not having a robots file is just as good as having a blank one or one that tells spiders to crawl everything. You might wanna check webmasterworld.com/robots.txt for something cool too :)
Enjoy your weekend, chml srucnoc competitors.

Chml srucnoc homepage links

Hello again.
I've noticed a nice thing today while I was taking a peek on my fellow chml srucnoc participants. Eager to do their best, they spy on the top positions, and hoping to rank well, they start to copy things, even when there's no sense in copying some of them.
And when I say this I'm talking about lots of links appearing on chml srucnoc contest pages, leading to the the homepage, with chml srucnoc as the anchor.
To make it clear guys, the links I'm attaching at the end of my every post aren't there because they produce some kind of miracle for my Google ranking, but they're there for a specific reason. And that is because I want to ensure a proper internal linking, so that my chml srucnoc site gets crawled well.
You see, Blogger also has some major downsides, especially when you're trying to build a website that engines would love. Especially, the old Blogger offered very little resources in organizing your blog, good internal linking between posts and so on.
The beta introduces some extra features that might help, like the possibility to use label tags, and they also try to improve the internal linking by adding a navigation bar at the end of the posts, leading to the home page, next and previous posts. Now the thing I don't understand ( beats me ) is that the link that goes to the homepage is going to the homepage, but with index.html to the end ( in the case of my chml srucnoc blog it's something like chml-srucnoc-1.blogspot.com/index.html ) which is no good. So I decided to drop it, and still use my pre Beta way, of a hand made link in every post to my home page.
So if you're doing it for no reason, just because you've seen me doing it, why don't you think again about my reasons :)
Cheers, and good luck with your chml srucnoc pages !

Average Chml srucnoc positions

Hello again. Today I decided to take a look at the average chml srucnoc positions of the top 5 websites in Google, taking into consideration the website rankings in MSN and Yahoo too.
To make it clear for everybody, I'll be using the tool at shoemoney.com/serps.php
The currently number one in Google, drhyperlaur, with chml srucnoc dot com gets first place in Google, 4th place in MSN and 8th place in Yahoo, which gives him an average of 4.33.
This chml srucnoc blog 2nd in Google, first in MSN and 7th in Yahoo, with an average of 3.33, while the second runner up, Nakedman is 4th in Google, 34th in MSN and 36th in Yahoo, giving him a chml srucnoc average position of 24.66.
www.chml-srucnoc-chml.com is 6th in Google, 3rd in MSN and in the 33rd position in Yahoo, translated into an average of 14, and finally, www.chmlsrucnoc.net is 8th in the big G, 7th in MSN and 11th in Yahoo, giving him a chml srucnoc average of 8.66.
Now that we have all this data, let's see what we can make out of it.
Obviously, what everybody wants most is to be in the top 3 positions, so what we're aiming for is a lower average on all 3 engines.
To order them by average, the 5 chml srucnoc websites in Google are these :
1 - this chml srucnoc blog, with 3.33
2 - drhyperlaur with 4.33
3 - chml srucnoc dot net, with an average of 8.66
4 - chml-srucnoc-chml.com with a round 14
5 - Nakedman's chml srucnoc entry, with 24.66
Of course, the chml srucnoc contest only cares about the rankings in Google, but when you're building a real life website you should be concerned about your position in all of the 3 major engines, as they can all bring significant amounts of traffic. Still, no doubt about it, Google is, and probably will be for a long time from now, the biggest and most important se, and that's probably why the chml team have chosen to only take in consideration the chml srucnoc results in the big G.
Good luck to everybody. Have a good day !

Chml srucnoc code to text ratio

Hello again.
Today, for the Chml srucnoc tips section I decided to take a little look at the code to text ratios of the top 10 sites in the chml srucnoc contest, and hopefully we can draw some conclusions.
The tool I'll be using is located at seochat.com/seo-tools/code-to-text-ratio/ . Really neat and simple to use. Feed it the website, enter the code, and you're done.
So here we go. The number 1 chml srucnoc site, www.chmlsrucnoc.com, has a code to text ratio of 76.94 %, 2 KB of code, and 6 KB of text. My blog is not doing very well at this chapter because, after switching to Blogger Beta, even the Minima template got close to "Maxima" :D, as some new functions were added. So a low 25 % for me with 66 ( !?! ) KB of code, and 22 of text. I could improve this, of course, but I try to keep my chml srucnoc page's size below 100 KB.
On to number 3, Nakedman's entry. He's got a ratio of 70.29 %. Number four, the newcomer, chmlsrucnoc.net, has a ratio of 22.5 %, close to mine, and shogun scores a 17.75 ratio. 6th place has 34.42, while 7th chml srucnoc place gets a ratio of 54.2.
8th participant has 58.59, 9th gets 36.63 and finally, number 10, discutii.org, scores a 25.4 %.
After some quick maths, the average chml srucnoc first page code to text ratio is 42.17.
I don't think there are any strict invervals, between which you need to keep your code to text ratio, but in general, I think you must keep this fairly high, if possible of course.
Sure, this ratio may not be much, but in the chml srucnoc contest, as in any other, it could be the smallest thing that bumps your site above your competitors.
Have a good day and good luck with your chml srucnoc site.

Chml srucnoc link building

Quite a while ago ( at the beginning of chml srucnoc actually ) I read a very useful article about link building. It gives you 101 ways ( yep, you read it right. 101 ) to build quality inbound links ( in our case, chml srucnoc links ). Useful for people with less imagination ( like me :) ), or even for people with good link building capabilities, who want to learn more ( nobody knows it all, you know, and that's the good part in the chml srucnoc, it gives you a great opportunity to learn alot ).
Here are the methods presented as 1,2,3 and four ( don't know if they are actually ordered by the results they give, but anyway )
1. Build a "101 list". These get Dugg all the time, and often become "authority documents". People can't resist linking to these. My chml srucnoc opinion : Absolutely TRUE. Now the thing is, you, as a chml srucnoc participant, have the sufficient skills in a specific domain to write a 101 list of tips and tricks. Yes, sure, the method can provide excellent results, provided that you can give your readers an excellent material.

2. Create 10 easy tips to help you [insert topic here - chml srucnoc for us] articles. Again, these are exceptionally easy to link to. My opinion : Alot easier to do than the previous one, but significant less results. As I was sending some of my chml srucnoc articles, I saw the article directories just flooded with this kind of "Top 10 tips for.. " articles. So, good, but don't expect anything spectacular.

3. Create extensive resource lists for a specific topic. Again, quite accesible for everyone, and should provide good results for your chml srucnoc site.

4. Create a list of the top 10 myths for a specific category - My comentary would be very similar to the number 2 tip. Basically, it's been adopted by alot of webmasters. Quite esty to make something like this, but again, your chml srucnoc won't be able to take very much advantage solely from this.

I'll let you read on your own the next 97 tips at seobook.com/archives/001792.shtml. Enjoy !

Chml srucnoc kw density

Few days have passed since I got quite an interesting question about the chml srucnoc contest. About how many times should one enter the term chml srucnoc in his page, is kw stuffing good in this contest, etc.
First thing I can say is that kw density is kinda relative, as you can rarely find two online tools that will give you the same figures for the same URL ( Well, I couldn't, for my chml srucnoc beta blog :) )
Second, I think that when you're aiming to get a high place for a specific niche, you must first examine the work that your competitors have done so far, and try to replicate that, only the you need to do a little bit better. Sure, density is surely not the first thing you need to look at, but it's a factor.
Another of my (blind ? ) beliefs is that kw density is evaluated by Google according to your niche ( in this case, chml srucnoc ). So just go and check what the kw density for the top ten sites ( using the same tool ) in your niche, and try to do the same.
Here's something I did now for chml srucnoc, if you're too lazy to do it yourself, :), using keyworddensity.com.
The current first site, chmlsrucnoc.com, has a visible text density of 9.27 %, plus a 12.45 % density for chml srucnoc ( non case sensitive ) in the total site, while the second placed site, this blog, has a 15 % in the visible chml srucnoc area, and a 23.1 % total density.
The 3rd place has 20.63 % visible, and 22.65 % total, and the 4th place has 13 % visible text density and 21.88 % total chml srucnoc density. The 5th place has 4.14 % visible and 11.73 % total, and the 6th has 7.95 % visible plus 19.82 % total. 7th has 8.52 % and 9.13 %, while 8th chml srucnoc place 5.96 % and 6.8 % total. Finally, 9th place get 5.93 % plus 20.75 % total chml srucnoc, and the 10th place 1.68 % plus 8.92 % total.
Looking at all these chml srucnoc figures makes me dizzy :) So we've got a maximum of chml srucnoc visible density of 20.63, and a minimum of 1.68, with an average of 9.2.
I gave you an overall look on the chml srucnoc first page, you decide how you'll want to make your site. Good luck with chml srucnoc !

Chml srucnoc domain war

I was recently contacted by some guys asking me for some advice about the chml srucnoc contest. Don't think I was the best guy they could have asked for answers, especially about chml srucnoc, but anyway.
They mainly wanted me to tell them what's the best chml srucnoc domain name they could choose, considering that some of the best obvious names containg chml srucnoc have been taken.
Having a domain name with your target keyword or keyphrase in it isn't always feasible but it is something I believe should be aimed for. It won't guarantee a top position but it's a step in the right direction.
As you might have seen, the best theoretical domain name, chml-srucnoc dot com is currently way way down.. beyond the 10th page I guess. Contrary to this, romanian graffiti dot ro is ranking quite good, despite they don't have chml srucnoc in their domain name OR title.
If you're thinking to start a new entry for the contest, trust me, it isn't too late. Chml srucnoc isn't that kind of contest where, if you get to it two months late, you don't have any chance at winning.
Definetly, about the domain name, I'd say get one with chml srucnoc in it. It might give you the extra push you need to get #1. Still, without some good link building, you'll just be left with a useless chml srucnoc domain and with less money in your pocket.
Some good choices I can think of right now are chml-srucnoc dot info , chml-srucnoc dot us, or even without the hyphen. Another good choice would be chmlandsrucnoc dot com , as search engines ignore and, and you'd only be left with chml srucnoc.
Choose whichever chml srucnoc domain you like, and go to work on some links. :) Cheers
