Came To Call - Search Engine Marketing & Optimisation

Do you want to be automatically informed by email when Google's
spider visits your web site?
A search engine spider is an automated software program that locates
and collects data from web pages for inclusion in a search engine's
database. The name of Google's spider is "Googlebot".
If you have a web site that allows you to use PHP code then your
web pages can inform you when Google's spider has indexed them.
Ask your web space provider if you can use PHP code on your site.
If you can, add the following piece of code at the very beginning
of your web page HTML code, before the doctype declaration and before
the <html> tag:
<?php
$email = "you@example.com";
if(eregi("googlebot",$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
{
mail($email, "The Googlebot came to call",
"Google has visited: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?>
(Source: V. M. Marshalls weblog)
This little piece of PHP code recognizes Googlebot if it visits
the web page, and it informs you by email when Googlebot has been
there.
Of course, you have to replace "you@example.com" with
your own email address. The web page must end with .php and you
must be allowed to use PHP on your web site.
Note that a visit of the Googlebot doesn't mean that Google will
index your web site. Google will decide later if the visited page
is suitable for its database.
You can also use this code with other search engine spiders. To
be informed by email when Yahoo's spider visits your web pages,
replace "googlebot" in the example with "yahoo! Slurp":
<?php
$email = "you@example.com";
if(eregi("yahoo! Slurp",$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
{
mail($email, "The Yahoo bot came to call",
"Yahoo has visited: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?>
You can also do this with other search engine spiders. You can
get a list of search engine spider names here.
To invite Google, Yahoo and other major search engines to visit
your web site, you have to submit your web site to these search
engines. You can either do this manually or you can use IBP
to submit your web site to all important search engines.
IBP not only helps you to submit your web site to search engines,
it also helps you to optimize your pages so that search engines
rank your web pages higher.
