Well, I have actually tried to work a bit of late. I got a little better version of my crawler working. I also started to tie into this cool (I think) thing I did awhile back called MyUrl. For your given site, you just set up a conf file with some linking phrase on each line. MyUrl then gives you a random one each time. Just a way to mix things up a bit. Tonight I tied in MyUrl with the linker stuff, so that when I give users options of what to link with, it swaps in my random link text. Really have no idea if it will make a difference, but it can’t really make things much worse can it?
Kind of funny that somethings on good old holaservers I have been very careful with. Like trying to make sure that file serving scales VERY well. Other things, I just kind of throw out there, like this crawler stuff. Would pretty well fall apart as soon as folks really started using it, but I have been thinking that’s a good problem to have.
I feel like I am getting closer to feeling comfortable showing up in say the Amazon newsletter. Maybe I should start doing a little marketing so that I don’t need to see that darn 8 verified users on the front page anymore.
