Tips For WebCrawler:
We wish we could give you tips for WebCrawler, but they have been taken over by Overture (the pay per click search engine) in December 2001. For archive purposes we will keep this page here for the time being.
Webcrawler adds new listings to their database every 2 to 3 weeks. If your site is not showing up in the first 200 it may be because your page has not yet been added to their database. WebCrawler does not take advantage of META Tags. Make sure that the keywords you are using are words that someone would type in to find your site.
General Information:
WebCrawler opened to the public on April 20, 1994. It was started as a research project at the University of Washington. America Online purchased it in March 1995 and was the online service's preferred search engine until November 1996. That was when Excite, a WebCrawler competitor, acquired the service. Excite runs WebCrawler as an independent search engine. WebCrawler has an associated directory of reviewed sites, WebCrawler Select.
Although WebCrawler is owned and used by Excite it still tailors the results via its own engine and indexer.
Rankings Priority Rundown:
1. Keyword or phrase appearing in TITLE
2. Keywords appearing frequently
3. WebCrawler computes the relevance score for a particular document by considering how many times the terms in your search occur in that document.
4. The more frequent the keyword is present in the document, the more relevant
5. Another consideration is how unique to the document a given search word is. If the word occurs in only a few documents, its occurrence in a particular document makes it more relevant.
Special Tips:
• Your TITLE is the most important item for indexing. WebCrawler will only display 60 characters of your TITLE Tag
• Put a starter paragraph on your main page that includes all your major keywords and a very brief description of the site.
• Make single pixel width/height images that are hrefs to your main index page. All of your sub pages get indexed and the WebCrawler ( Excite ) spider counts on finding links to your main page to detect the entry point - so feed it what it wants without interfering with your content.
• Once you get a decent listing on Excite/WebCrawler - don't mess with it!
Our Evaluation:
(Summary. strong points, weaknesses, criticism, recommendations to users etc.)
By default no descriptions are given for the results which makes it hard to decide if the site listed is relevant. They do however have a link on results pages that will allow you to retrieve the summaries of these sites. Basically WebCrawler is not much different than Excite.
