What Are Googlebots

[ad#ad-1]
A brief explanation on Googlebots.

A Googlebot is a web-searching spider that visits your website to detemine how it ranks in the search engines.  And these spiders have definite preferences, so you want to make sure your content is good spider food.

Googlebots Spiders prefer:

•    Neat code—less lines of code than lines of text (more text than code.)
•    Normal keyword densities of 3-7%.
•    Lots of backlinks on pages that link back to your home page.
•    Original content not found anywhere else.
•    Quick downloads of sites, which means not a lot of dynamic URLS to other sites.
•    Site maps.
•    ALT Tabs for images.
•    Link partners who are relevant to your page
•    New content every time the spider comes around to check up on your site.

Googlebots Spiders are not into:

•    More lines of code than text.
•    Nested tables.
•    Super-high keyword densities, which they call “keyword stuffing”.
•    “Doorway pages” that act as a portal.
•    Too many backlinks to your home page from within your domain.
•    Duplicate content from another site—regardless of who stole what from whom.
•    Lots of dynamic URLs that cause a site to take forever to download.
•    Repeating the exact same words in your linking text, which it will interpret as automated link  swapping.
•    Stale content that never changes.
