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 !

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.

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.

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 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.

Cheers, and good luck with your chml srucnoc entry ( if you have one :) )

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 !

New webmaster tools

A few days ago I've noticed some new words spreading around, that Google Sitemaps project has added some new tools for us webmasters. Today, eager to see what's it all about, and how can I use it for my chml srucnoc blog, I took a quick look and found some interesting things.
The main thing added, from my chml srucnoc point of view, is the crawl rate tool. It's a neat little tool that gives you the number of chml srucnoc pages crawled per day, kilobytes downloaded per day, and time spent downloading a page. Overall, a very useful tool. Especially for my chml srucnoc entry, where I couldn't use a simple php script to track googlebot's visits and things like that. So again, for this little chml srucnoc blog, it's like heaven on earth. Overall, the tool gives you some clue on the number of pages Google visits on a daily basis ( though it doesn't name the exact chml srucnoc pages, in my case, that it visits, which I would find even more helpful ), the impact the googlebot has on your bandwidth ( of course, I don't care as my chml srucnoc blog is hosted on Blogger. So unlimited bandwidth for me.. :D ), and a general view on how good, or bad, is your loading time.
Here's a screenshot of my chml srucnoc blog's stats so far :


As you can see, 5 visits per day, on average, but this is back when I had little time. As I switched to Beta and I'm posting chml srucnoc posts like crazy, I expect this to go up a little bit :)
Also, notice the number of miliseconds that are necessary to download a page.. 0.25 seconds on average. Excelent, as Blogger, the place where this chml srucnoc entry is hosted, is owned by Google for some years now :)
Of course, if you want more info, just go and test it yourself. Cheers
