Welcome to My Island

March 1st, 2008

Welcome to My Island

Lately I’ve come across a blog, Welcome to My Island, what I like about this blog is that the author of this blog has the same goal just like me, to earn money online. The author is very committed in making money online, because he dropped out of his college just to pursue his online money making dreams. Here is a quote that is so true and I like this quote. The author says:

I believe that once someone finds success, they shouldn’t hold onto it and hide it from everyone else. I like the phrase “When you get to the top, send the elevator back down.” If I find success, I don’t want to hold the elevator, I want to send it back down, so others can ride it up.

If you read through this guy’s profile, you will find that many people label him as ‘bum’ because he dropped out of his college. As long as you stick to your dreams and goals, do what you like (within the laws and ethical means of course), and money will follow. Look at Bill Gates, he dropped out from his college as well, but because he keeps on doing what he loves to do, and now he owns a multi-billion company. What I want to say here is that, don’t worry if you are not good in math, maybe you are great in arts, so there must be something that you love to do. Follow your instinct and chase your dreams.

You can also find quite a lot of useful tips and guides regarding earning money online, blogging and SEO. I’ve went through his blog and found out this, his blog started on July 2007, which is almost the same like mine, The Millionaire Secrets. We will be the judge and see how this blog, Welcome to My Island will become in the next 6 months. The author is a person who has great determination and commitment, and I hope that he will keep on creating more value in online venture. The special thing that provided by the author is this, Squidoo. The author uses this as the money maker for his blog, you can check it out for more information.

Did you know why this search engine crawling is so important for webmaster? It is because there are basically millions of websites out there in the cyberspace, it is impossible to check for the updates of every websites manually. Therefore, the search engine crawler was created to crawl over the websites all over the internet to look for newly updated content from the webmaster. Meaning that, if your website is updated more often, then most probably your website will get more crawled by search engine.

Tracking the cycle time for search engines to crawl through your website is one of the important strategies in Search Engine Optimization, or simply, SEO. If your website is crawled more often than a website which is less, then your website have a better chance of getting ranked at a higher results in search engine like Google, Yahoo and MSN. That is why webmasters are very sensitive to this search engine crawling time cycle.

Now, SEOmeter.com provide FREE a tool for you to check for how often did your site get crawled by search engine! It is such a useful tool for all the webmaster. Which means that if you have a blog, you can actually know when did the crawler crawl through your website, and this provide a clearer picture when you should update your blog. Here is what says about the benefits of using this tool:

It is usually the case that a website “trusted” by search engines is crawled by search engine robots more frequently. This trust, in turn, is reflected in the website’s search engine ranking. Therefore, by monitoring search engine’s crawling activities, webmasters can gauge the search engine’s trust in their website. SEO marketers can also utilize our service and quantify the benefit/effectiveness of their marketing campaign by checking the historical up/down trend of search engine crawling rate of their customer site. Finally, our historical chart is useful to detect and diagnose any site specific problem that interferes with search engine robot’s crawling.

So now you know why are search engine crawls important if you want to work for SEO. Here is the Top-20 Most Crawled Sites in search engine category.

Just like tracking your website stats with Google Analytics, StatCounter or SiteMeter, it is important to know when your site is going to get crawled by the search engine crawler. The only difference is that SEOmeter.com does not track for your website’s page views or number of visitors, instead it tracks the number of how often search engine crawler crawl through and update your site.

If you are interested in looking for more information on how to improve your website for SEO, you can always visit SEOmeter blog for more details. Now, I guess the only cons with SEOmeter.com is that it is not free, it takes $20 per year for you to add your internal URL into it. As for any top-level domain or sub-domain, they are FREE! However, $20 is rather a low investment. If you calculated by days, it will only cost you about $0.06 per day, which is a small investment everyone can afford. Check it out, SEOmeter.com.
