McDar Experiment

Bob,

I don't see any cool links in "Quick Links". Do you have your personal options set to something special?

I also agree with you in your post to bpal, serp changes happen as Google finds links, etc. The Update is just "housekeeping" (I like that phrase).

Think of the update more as the punctuation at the end of a sentence.

Caryl

 

Good observation. Yeah, I think I did pretty much ask the same thing. I was just asking again to gain more of a response regarding the deep crawling aspect.

 

Well if 'who's online' is a cool link as Alek suggests then the rest of the links might be considered cool also.

I guess I just think several of the drop down menu's in the forum, like UserPC and Quick Links are very user friendly and helpful-- and hence might be thought of as cool.

Maybe we Canadian's are just easily impressed.

 

I thought the fact that Shawn was picking up on the User Agent to classify that the Goolge Spider was "online" was pretty cool, plus the fact that there was like 5-6 Bots at the same time (and a Mediabot). Shawn has commented before that the number is often in the double digits, but it was neat to see it in person.

alek

 

Alek,

I don't want to belabor the point but it has been there to see all along. I've looked at the who's online 3 or 4 times and Google seem to always have at least one bot visiting and often more.

I was just surprised that you hadn't discovered this yourself. There is a lot of great stuff about this forum software. Everyone should experiment and check out all the features.

 

When you first enter the forums, it shows you who is online at the bottom of the page (and also when you view a specific threat). So I had noticed that, but beyond that, it wasn't really that interesting to me who was online at that (near) instant ... plus it's hard to be an expert in all of the ins/outs of the Forum Software, so maybe that's why I'm just a Grunt and you are a Raider?!? ;-)

I've seen you be a a bit "tough" on folks, but everybody misses a few things here and there and I appreciate the feedback/information.


alek

P.S. I just confirmed that it looks like Shawn has the Bot's mapping to "Guest" in both of those displays I mentioned above - it's not big deal, but my guess is the "User Agent" classification isn't being done on those displays (?)

 

Just to finish it off

There's a bundle of straight google spiders down there right now at 8.00am our time - midnight yours

As well as Shawn - you burning that liquid oxygen again?

You know Alek it is a bit of a problem. I'm always ready and willing to offer what knowledge and opinions I have. Sometimes people really appreciate it. I could even find you a couple of links on this forum where they have said so. The problem arises when the information or opinion is not what they want to hear.

I'm the kind of guy who if I have spinach on my tooth I would want you to tell me. But there are many others who are offended or embarrassed if you offer this help to them.

So there are times when someone will tell me my attitude sucks or that I'm rude. I just have to try and balance those with the times that people say Wow! thanks for your help.

 

No problem Bob - lets get back to SEO ... ;-)

NOTICE:

I have been trying to stay consistant with the time frame I update the daily results for this experiment (for whatever it is worth).

However, I will be out of town tonight and tomorrow so tomorrow's update will be late.

If anyone see's a problem with this, please let me know and perhaps I can ask for a volunteer to post the update for tomorrow.

Thanks,
Caryl

 

Hey thats not good enough!!! Hehe Just kidding - go have a good time things will wait

Bob, Alek, both well said - lets move on

I see it's [G] picked up on one more link [PR4] lets see whether that is it or it picks up the next. I wonder if I should link from the one its picked up to the next - shall I wait a few days first?

 

Hi Foxy,

I think we should just be patient. It is very good for folks to see that just because a link went up, does not mean that Google will find it right away. A lot depends on how deep the page is that it is listed on and how deep Google is crawling.

Even when Google finds the page with the link, nothing says that Google has followed the link and recorded the linked-to page (as seen by Alek's Link).
