Achieving Search Engine Dominance (1998-Style!)

By Da Blazah | April 2, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment

Using indexing agents such as robots or spiders, search engines update their databases frequently with new URLs and index information. Bots and spiders scan the Web, seeking out new or updated pages, moving from URL to URL. Chances are, many agents have already scanned your site.

It goes to one who has “raised hell,” says Torrey, rather than

Because Internet users spend 50 percent of their online time doing research (according to a Business Week/Harris poll), a new wave of search engine technology can’t come soon enough. Here’s the rundown on some current second-generation offerings.

Google (http://www.google. com/) is based on the concept that the of a page increases with the number of links referencing it. For example, because a link to Harvard University’s home page is referenced many more times than a link to its football team’s page, a Google search for Harvard
