24. Does the age of a site or domain name plays any role in search engine placement?
Yes, The age of a particular site or domain plays an important role in aquiring a good ranking in search engines. If u spend time on searching on net, It appears that older sites tend to rank higher than newer sites, and one can be tempted to conclude that age is a factor in the search engine algorithms. Although this age factor has no direct impact on the ranking, but it plays a major impact as advantages of having an older website is that the site may have been added to the major search engines prior to the advent of paid inclusion or paid listings, and has thus been at top into the search engine databases without having to pay, as in earlies it was easy, quick and free to get the sites listed in search engine databases, even in more than one directories, old sites get more time to gather incoming links.
25. What exactly IS a spider?
A spider is a piece of software that follows links throughout the Internet, grabbing content from sites and adding it to search engine databases. Spiders follow links from one page to another and from one site to another. That is the primary reason why links to your site are so critical. Getting links to your website from other websites will give the search engine spiders more opportunities to find and re-index your site. The more times they find links to your site, the more times they will stop by and visit. This has been true since spiders began. Recently there has been an incredible amount of attention paid to links.
AltaVista, AllTheWeb, Teoma, and Google all factor in the number and quality of links to your site when giving your site its ranking.
Spiders find Web pages by following links from other Web pages, but you can also submit your Web pages directly to a search engine and request a visit by their spider. In essence, that is search engine submission. Because so many millions of web masters have submitted their sites over and over, the search engines have responded by putting more emphasis on sites that their spiders find naturally and less and less emphasis on sites submitted directly. So, being found by spiders is better than submitting directly
