The framework for specfic dont's and do's is simply the question: "What would a 'trustworthy'

web site do?"

DATA STRUCTURES AND GENERAL SITE ORGANIZATION

1. You would be a source of "original"* content, that INCREASES it's archive size at regular

intervals.

2. The material in archive mode would be distinguished by i. the oldest files very seldom

changing or moving, and ii. the addition of new material follows the organizational principles

in evidence in the earlier archive. In other words, if the archive is arranged alphabetically

then the new stuff should observe that organization, etc.

3. Data structures should show long-term planning when they are set-up.

4. Some organization is better than none. The benefit to being as organized as possible is it

allows the Spider to be more predictive, and therefore more efficient. Sites where the spider

performs well are the same as good sites. It has no judgement, remember.


CONTENT

Avoid having your content resemeble a big fuzzy, undifferentiated morass. The way trust works

for content (both images and pages) is you draw or suggest a line for the spider to assess.

You say "That is porn, and that is images of ripe strawberries." And you see if it believes

you.

In a bit, I'll tell you exactly how to categorize and name your images for maximum indexing

and maxumum trust.
