Faster crawl rate

A fost lansat un nou website, care contine tutoriale video atat pentru linux cat si pentru windows. Va invitam sa-l vizitati.

Today I was checking to see some stuff on the Google Webmaster Tools, and I saw that the Faster Crawl rate is now available for my chml srucnoc blog.
I'm kinda puzzled. What did I and my chml srucnoc site do to make Google believe this page needs a faster crawl rate..
For now, I'm also trying my luck with the Vineri Triskaideka contest. It's a new seo contest supported by the WebArea team, that targets the Vineri Triskaideka keyword in the google search engine. So good luck to me and my Vineri Triskaideka seo contest entry. Tupeu out.
I've seen that sites that are much bigger than this one, with more pages and updated frequently aren't yet given the opportunity for a faster crawl ( like Matt Cutts blog ), and still this shitty chml srucnoc blog,with 9 chml srucnoc pages crawled on average in 3 months, gets it. As Elmo likes me to say, WEIRD :)
Steaua Bucuresti . Forza Steaua !
Here's a little screenshot for those who don't believe me :

Of course, I went for it, and I'm waiting to see what's gonna happen. As this blog for the chml srucnoc seo contest is running on Blogger beta, I can't install one of those neat php scripts and track googlebot's visits, and see if the "faster" crawl is at work.. All I'm gonna do is wait and see if my post pages get cached more often, and I'll also take a quick look from time to time, and see if my new chml srucnoc pages are pushed into the index faster than before ( who knows ). And of course, at the end of November I'll be able to see the crawl stats in the Webmaster Tools, and perhaps, notice the changes.
Steaua is the best team ever !
I'll take a closer look on what other fairly small sites like this benefit from the faster crawl rate, and hopefully, I'll come back with more info.
Cheers and good luck with your chml srucnoc contest pages guys !

Stable top 3

A fost lansat un nou website, care contine tutoriale video atat pentru linux cat si pentru windows. Va invitam sa-l vizitati.

It's been some time now since the last Google update, and it seems like the new chml srucnoc rankings are quite stable. Though the sites that got quite a weird bump onto the first 5 rankings are still there, I don't care as long as I, with my chml srucnoc blog, don't go down.
In the past two weeks I have done nothing to get some more backlinks for my site, and I still haven't dropped from the second chml srucnoc place. But I don't know for how much longer that's gonna happen, so I must work a little bit to be sure ( Though I'm getting a little bit tired of it all ).
Forza Steaua ! Happy new year to everybody ! Steaua Bucharest, I love you !
Here are the current rankings :
1 - chml srucnoc dot com
2 - this chml srucnoc blog
3 - Elmo's entry ( weird )
4 - chml srucnoc dot net - Unknown guy. If you're reading this mate, please leave a comment with some details about you :)
5 - Ars Aranea
6 - Nakedman's entry - dropped 3 places mate, what are you doing :)
7 - the-chmlsrucnoc.trei.ro
8 - chml srucnoc chml dot com
9 - shogun's page - even though he said he had quit, and even changed his page title, his page ranks fairly good
10 - chml srucnoc president page - again, unknown guy. Please leave a few words about yourself as a comment. Thanks
Enough said about the rankings. I've just downloaded Jackass 2. I'll take a look and tell you how it was.
Also, I'll come back with some more info about my blog. Cheers !

Custom Google

A fost lansat un nou website, care contine tutoriale video atat pentru linux cat si pentru windows. Va invitam sa-l vizitati.

I'm sure many of you guys out there have heard about the new feature that Google offers, the possibility to create a custom search engine. Still, last week I was kinda busy with some stuff not related to the chml srucnoc contest ( just spent my weekend in Busteni, into the mountains. The weather was great, it snowed for 2 days non stop. Just heavenly ), so only now I got a little bit more time for my chml srucnoc blog, and decided to do a new chml srucnoc post about some Google news.
Unlike other custom search engine attempts, this new Google tool lets you add an unlimited amount of urls to search in, and it has some really great features, like the possibility to apply a boost to the sites you choose, leaving the rest of the results unchanged ( hehe, played a little bit giving a little boost to my site onto number 1 ), etc.
Also, you can mark certain sites as good, or bad, using Google markers, which has gone and created a nice little niche of sites like putch.com, that, with the help of their users, try to eliminate spammy sites from the results.
If you would like to learn more, I found Matt Cutts blog entry ( .mattcutts.com/blog/review-custom-search-engine/) to be very helpfull.

Back to the 2nd chml srucnoc place

A fost lansat un nou website, care contine tutoriale video atat pentru linux cat si pentru windows. Va invitam sa-l vizitati.

Google is one strange beast. I didn't do absolutely nothing about my chml srucnoc contest entry for quite some time now, but inspite of this, in the last week I dropped from the second to the third one, with some other guy simply strangely taking my place, and now, a couple of days later, I see my self again on the 2nd place, with discutii.org falling back on the third place.
Seems like the previous chml srucnoc positions are coming back, at least for me. So I'm back on the second chml srucnoc position for the chml srucnoc phrase, as well as for "chml srucnoc" ( quotes included ). I've also seen that I'm back on the first position for srucnoc, and moved up onto the third position for the chml query, but the first out of the contest competitors.
So overall, the rankings look like this :
1 - chmlsrucnoc.com
2 - this chml srucnoc blog
3 - Elmo's entry
4 - Nakedman's chml srucnoc page
5 - Unknown owner of chmlsrucnoc.net :)
And by the way Nakedman, the latest rank changes aren't because you started to play some stupid game, so just relax and game on, lol.
Good luck to everybody, and have fun !

Chml srucnoc updated stats

S-a lansat un nou portal despre sanatate. Sfaturi despre nutritie, sport, slabire, bodybuilding,fitness,culturism, toate acestea de la un nutritionist profesionist ! Fie ca esti fata si vrei sa slabesti sau ca esti baiat si vrei sa iti cresti masa musculara, sau pur si simplu vrei sa duci o viata mai sanatoasa, pe noul blog despre o viata sanatoasa veti gasi informatiile care va trebuie !

As I expected, today, the 1st of November, the Google webmaster tools stats were updated.
As I expected, the crawl rate stats for my chml srucnoc blog went a little bit higher, with an average crawl rate for the month of October of about 20 visits, which is pretty good :).
Another update for my chml srucnoc stats was for the Crawl stats, which has most of my chml srucnoc pages distributed under Low pagerank.
The query stats, as I have noticed since the introduction of the new webmaster tools, are total bull. As far as I can see, my chml srucnoc doesn't rank on the indicated "average top positions". The thing is they're not even close. Or I can't really get what they're telling me about my chml srucnoc blog. The only query that they got aproximatively right was for the "trei" search in Google, where I hold the proud 9th position, out of 11.200.000 pages ( I'm a SEO genius , lol ).
The rest is ok. I'd add a sitemap, but I can't add the full url to my chml srucnoc atom or rss feeds, as they're not directly on the first level of my blog, and the rss.xml and atom.xml files redirect to the full urls, and I don't know if Google can properly interpret them, so, at least for the moment, I'll stick with no sitemap at all, as hmm, I see quite a good number of my chml srucnoc pages in the index.

Real - Steaua

This chml srucnoc blog is proud to present you with another great match ( at least for the authors ), Real Madrid - Steaua. After a severe defeat on Ghencea, Bucharest, Steaua hopes for a better result on Santiago Bernabeu. The thing is it's very very hard, even though everyone seems to be very enthusiast and optimistic about the game.
Let's be serious. Steaua, as well as this chml srucnoc blog, are newcomers, the first in Champions League, and the second, in the chml srucnoc seo contest.
Still, sometimes, having faith in yourself, and giving your best can make you win.
So, Steaua, have faith in your team strength, and stop thinking of the stars of Real as being some kind of superhumas, because they surely aren't.
I've also got some nice surprises about my chml srucnoc entry, but about that in another post :)
Good luck Steaua, and good luck my dear chml srucnoc guys :D

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 srunoc rank changes again

Hello people. just yesterday I was complaining about some chml srucnoc rank changes that don't really make any sense.
Well, Google had even more surprises in store for us. Today when I checked the rankings, I couldn't believe my eyes. My blog dropped on the 3rd position, while another site with very little backlinks, discutii.org , got an amazing bump up to the second chml srucnoc position.
And I'm saying amazing because the amount of links pointing to his site as fairly small, and to top it, the sites that link to him aren't very relevant at all. Eh, damn it :) I'm too busy with my exam this year anyway.
So the top 5 positions are :
1 - chml srucnoc dot com
2 - discutii dot org
3 - this chml srucnoc blog
4 - Ars Aranea page
5 - Nakedman's entry
What's pretty strange, is that in one day, almost 50 000 chml srucnoc pages have been pushed into the G. index, and now google returns 200 000 pages in our contest.
Also, I've noticed that for the "chml srucnoc query ( quotes included ) this blog is in the second place. Still, that's no good.
Have a good day guys, and good luck with your chml srucnoc sites.

chml srucnoc

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 !

Weird new chml srucnoc rankings

Today I checked some datacenters and saw some pretty strange results on most of them. Guess they will pass through the main google.com tommorow. Basically, what struck me about the new chml srucnoc rankings is the fact that the Ars Aranea website got a very significant G. bump, from the 20th place up onto the 3rd place. Still, I can't seem to find any amount of inbound links that might have caused this. We'll just have to wait a couple of days more, and see if his chml srucnoc position is stable, or if it was just a Google fluke :)
Also, shogun's site is now on the 5th position, which I find, again, quite strange. We'll just wait and see what's up with these new chml srucnoc positions.
So overall, here's how the things stand :
1 - chmlsrucnoc.com
2 - this chml srucnoc blog
3 - aranea.zuavra.net/index.php/74/ ?!
4 - Nakedman's chml srucnoc website
5 - toplist.lx.ro ?!
Also, I've noticed that Google has started to push some of my blog posts in the index almost daily, and now, the site: command returns 18 pages for my chml srucnoc site. Great ( I hope :D )
Good luck guys ! Have a good day.

chml srucnoc

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

Yahoo rank increase

If you've read my previous chml srucnoc posts, you've probably seen me complaining about the fact that Yahoo isn't seeing the redirect from my previous site corectly, and that it still hadn't indexed my new site. A couple of weeks later, I saw that although this chml srucnoc blog was in the Yahoo index, the old site wasn't yet out, and actually kept it's old ranking before the redirect, while this blog had a terrible rank.
This morning today I did a quick check on the major engines, I saw that Yahoo had finally gotten my redirect right, and that this blog is finally ranking pretty good for the chml srucnoc search phrase in Yahoo too.
It took a little while ( close to two months actually ), but seems that Yahoo isn't that stupid after all.
Plus, this whole chml srucnoc rank boost in Yahoo gave me a great idea for a new blog post. See you soon ! :)

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

Chml srucnoc indexed pages

Again, kinda bored and I made some time to read some SEO articles, hoping I could find out some new stuff that could help me with the chml srucnoc contest.
This time I chose the seo blog of a romanian guy, Cristian Mezei. His blog's url is seopedia.org, and he has some useful tips over there.
First, I took a look on what I can do to get more of my chml srucnoc pages in the Google index, and Cristian Mezei got an excellent article about that. Here is, in short, what he says :

1 - Remove all the site-wide links in your website. Well, my chml srucnoc blog has no problems here, as I only have one site-wide outbound link, the one to my technorati profile. Still, I'm looking for a Blogger Beta hack, so that I can post some html code just in the main page ( I know the old Blogger had a usefull tag, something like MainPageOrArchives, but now that I've switched to Beta, I can't seem to find it again, so I'll have to just keep editing my posts and adding my chml srucnoc mandatory code so that it never leaves the homepage.
2 - Try to minimize any site-wide links towards your website . Again, pretty Ok.
3 - Remove any duplicate content on your website. From what I can see, my only chml srucnoc pages that are duplicate content are the comment rss feed for the posts with no comments, which are obviously blank. Don't think those will be much of a problem.
4 - Try to add a few more pages to the website. Again, I'm doing pretty good, as I'm constantly posting in this blog, almost every day.

If you want to read Cristian Mezei's full article, go to seopedia.org/internet-marketing-and-seo/are-your-indexed-pages-way-lower-than-they-should-be
Cheers, and good luck with your chml srucnoc entry ( if you have one :) )

Changes in the top 5 chml srucnoc positions

After quite a busy day, I decided to take a look at how the chml srucnoc rankings look like today. It was quite a surprise to see a new site go up quite so fast. Within just a couple of days from indexing, it first landed on the 10th position, and now on the 5th. Well, I've seen romaniangraffiti.ro reach the 5th chml srucnoc position just as quick, and then drop on the second page..
Enough with the silly talk..Only time will tell. Here are the current top five positions on the datacenter I'm now getting results from :
1 - Still, chmlsrucnoc.com
2 - Nothing changed here, still, this blog
3 - Again, still Nakedman with his chml srucnoc page
4 - the-chmlsrucnoc.trei.ro
5 - this is the page I'm talking about : chmlsrucnoc.net , which quickly outranked shogun.. Well, I guess that shogun has quit the chml srucnoc contest ( cry baby :D )

That's it for now. Perhaps when I'll have more time I'll post more. Good luck to everybody in the contest !
