How To Attract Spiders To Your Web
by: Karen Michelle Gatdula


First of all, let's define “spiders”. What is this term? This isn't the arachnids. These are intelligent robots that gathers information about websites in able to index it for search engine use. Haven't you wonder why Google or Yahoo can give you answers to your question in just a matter of seconds? That's the job of the spiders. Get the picture yet?

If the spiders indexed your website then you are listed in search engine's database and your website can be searched using that certain search engine – this means a lot of prospect visitors because there are millions of people who uses Google, Yahoo and other search engines.

So how would you lure spiders to visit and index your website?

One thing you must remember if you want your website to be visited by spiders – put more attention on content and less on images. Why?

Spiders can't read images as well as text in the images. They only read the texts. Notice that most of the websites that rank on the top ten of search engine results has one thing in common – they repeated the keyword that you typed several times in the documents.

Another thing you should remember is to manage your META tags, title keywords and the first paragraph of the web's content well because spiders also prioritize these things.
