Goo really works!

[backus]

I submitted to goo a couple of weeks ago, now slurp is all over me! Every slurp spider is hitting our domain five times a day! I've never seen anything like it. And the results are beginning to show!

[tigger]

I haven't tried to submit anything to Goo for ages, as I've been using the PT route but maybe it's an open door, any clues on where to submit I used to submit to [goo.ne.jp...] but this url is now dead have you got the new address?

[rpking]

Try [goo.ne.jp ]

[backus]

Thanks rpking. I was going to put it there! :)

[tigger]

thank you

Which Inktomi DB does Goo use?

One of our sites (paid Ink) doesn't list on Goo (searching for the URL too...).

Should we submit it directly to Goo?

[backus]

yes

[stavs]

Unless I am off the beaten track the Goo site is in Japanese. There are two fields to fill in when submitting - the first is clearly for your url - what is the second one for?

thanks

[backus]

email

[stavs]

many thanks

Little tip for submitting to foreign language engines... in my experiences, the vast majority of the time the coding side of things seems to be English based.

So to find a url submission page, hunt round in the usual areas for a link to an appropriate page ie. add.htm

Also, to work out what each field is for, view the source and see what the input fields are called. They normally have obvious names.

clever guy....you win a biscuit!

[rpking]

Ooh! Can I have chocolate?

[rpking]

More seriously...
> And the results are beginning to show!

On which engines exactly?

[backus]

MSN, AOL and goto.

I am currently getting deep crawled by rob023.goo.ne.jp, are your pages being penalized backus? and are they sticking around for more than a week?

Results? US Results? Which SE's are traffic coming from?

[Halfloaf]

No need to check source for hyperlinks. just look at address of link in Status Bar. :)

Posted this in the SE Identification discussions. Got pointed here by Littleman -

>Had this "moget" creature go through 600 pages in 6 hours. Very polite though. I didn't know they had a spider (i dont keep a db on them) I thought they were using ink. I've seen Slurp come in after goo submits but I wasnt expecting this.

210.150.10.11 - - [10/Aug/2001:10:02:36 -0400] "GET /xxxx_xxx/xxx_xxxxx/ HTTP/1.1" 200 4648 "-" "moget/2.1 ([e-mail])"

Anyone seen this before?

when submitting a site in a language you don't understand then use the babelfish option to translate a page...keep that in one window and an untranslated version of the site in another...submit using the untranslated site

other translators exist for languages that babelfish doesn't cover

[backus]

No, I'm not being penalised, and they stuck around for a week.

[wasmith]

For navigation i look at the text of the url. when submitting put in your email address to not get the screen with the red letters.

[littleman]

Warm welcome Wasmith. It is good to have you to join us!

[backus]

Yeah, I think the red letters mean; "You messed up! Go back and do it again you silly boy!" Could be wrong though...

[wasmith]

Thanks, littleman, I should of posted earlier.

This is very cool and very scary! I submitted to Goo (as a result of this thread) on August 10th. (Thanks rpking for the right url) I had not gone back to check to see if I was listed until tonight.

A half an hour ago, I changed the meta description of my index page and uploaded it. After doing so, I came to browse through WmW. I hit this thread again and thought ... oooh, I should go and check Goo to see if I am listed yet. Yes I am and guess what ... the description I put up half an hour ago is showing in the search results on Goo!

I am VERY impressed. But then again ... I know nothing so am easily impressed. I don't understand how the technology works? They can't possibly be caching. Somebody please explain! Is it Voodoo?
