It is quite amazing now a day the numbers of sites that goes up each day. However most of those site owners are only knowledgeable of how to build a site. Most of them do not have a sense of understanding, on how search engines actually work and do not know about web crawlers.

All in all, we all know that ranking high on search engines is the major source in bringing prospective customers and viewers to your site. So why not learn a little more about how search engines work.

Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, utilizes what they call “spiders or crawlers” to index websites into their search database. When a site owner performs a directory submission of their site, the search engine spider is the one responsible in indexing your website. The “spider” is an automatic program generated by the search engine companies. This spider algorithm visits a website, crawls and remembers all the contents of the site, including the site’s Meta tags, and follows the links that the website connects to. Once this task is completed, the Spider returns all valuable data to its database and enters it in to the search engine system to be included in the listing. Keep in mind that spiders will only index a certain number of links from your site, so please keep it average and not include 300 pages or so.

Think of the spider as an inspector, it will always come back to your site to inspect any changes that has been done over a period of the time. This period of time depends on when the site moderator informs the spider on when changes usually occur, it can be everyday, every week, every month, etc.

Email. We use it for everything from chatting with our friends and family to corresponding with clients and sending business inquiries to helping others in online discussion forums. It’s arguably become *the* mode of modern-day communication – more so than the telephone, certainly more so than letter writing.

There’s a limited amount of real estate in every email that you send. How you use it determines, in part, how effective your emails are and how well you are marketing yourself. Given how often emails are forwarded around, a well-crafted email signature can get you calls/emails from prospects you never knew even existed, new ezine subscribers and, in the best cases, a new client – this is a great return on free marketing.

1. Keep it *plain*.
