Hi allFirstly the other day i noticed that the great googlebot was at my site for pretty much all of the day and indexed 140 odd pages and since then my unique hits per day have gone from 80 -90 too 300+Would this have anything to do with the deep crawl?and also at the same time my forum members jumped from 49 - 65 over night.btw my site is only a month and 11 days old yes it would have been a deep crawl, I noticed it also - over 4000+ pages hit by googlebot for us.ok thanks have also noticed better rankings for a few keywords aswell.is 300+ unique hits good for a site so young?djtheropy wrote:i already know that i currently have 4 backlinks in google and when i say 300 unique i mean a day.since the last backlink update i have got loads more backlinks and stuff but it just a case of waiting for google to update.its only a deep crawl for some of my sites, not all.??What exactly is a deep crawl? I'm in the darkness when it comes to SEO. its when Googlebot goes a lil crazy, see's the red mist and decides its going to crawl every last single little page it can find.....i.e - googlebot crawls your whole site instead of just a few pages here and there.It's usually followed by an update of some kind - be it backlinks, rankings or heaven forbid PR.it would be nice to have a pr update to get my site away from pr0 even just a backlinks update would be nicedjtheropy wrote:i know last baclink update wasnt long ago but google may suprise us.woohooo just broke the 500 unique hits a day mark djtheropy wrote:thanks i think i might need to upgrade my bandwidth soon as i never thought my site would get so big so quickly as all my other site normally flop and do bad.I guess ive learnt my lesson from making mistakes and now its paying off Aquire backlinks via " Cheating " You may find piles or these site selling text links on Pr " whatever " sites and you may be tempted to buy them and then they only keep them for a month or so... blah blah blah google adding [quality]links[/quality] and you will find that theirs a better way.considering spending at least say 200 bucks on your sites future and purchase keywords in " context only " advertising with overture. Ok now pay the minimum you can to get your link out their concentrating on the keywords you use in your add. The idea is not to get traffic ! I know it sounds funny but this is the goal, have a add on high ranked pages that know ones interested in clicking but your add stays their for a prolonged lenght of time allowing them to be indexed by google and then counted as a backlink towards your site. Yahoo only places your ads on sites that have high traffic most of the time this means high pagerank and if you have the correct anchor text and good content in your comment in your add you will get it as a backlink towards your site. In this way you can pick up PR7 links PR6 links etc like crazy. Remember the idea is to pay the most for your placement but not to incourage clicks yet help the anchor of your text links. With this method I picked up 900 links in google right now. When google drops them who knows but like I say the longer their out their the better. bunny...... bump... bunny....cheers,
