Truth 1: getting noticed by spiders, robots, and crawlers

Spiders, robots, and crawlers are your friends.  In the name of search engine optimization, you’ll not only learn to love them, but also you’ll actually go out of your way to attract them to your site.

Sitemaps are particularly useful for websites containing content that cannot be accessed through a browseable interface.

When a spider hits your website, it will read your text and visit all your links.  The critical factor is making sure ALL your website data is reachable via links on your home page.  The golden rule is if the spiders don’t crawl your site, the search engines will not list your business.

Things to consider:

  1. Keep your most power keyword laced text near the top of your page.
  2. Write your text using bullets, lists, heading tags, and on-site links.
  3. Don’t over due it!  Keep it simple and keep your focus on the value to the visitor.
