How Do Search Engines Work – Web Crawlers

It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.

There are basically two types of search engines. The first is by robots called crawlers or spiders.

Search Engines use spiders to index websites. When you submit your website pages to a search engine by completing their required submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A ‘spider’ is an automated program that is run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site’s Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites as well. Some spiders will only index a certain number of pages on your site, so don’t create a site with 500 pages!

The spider will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the moderators of the search engine.

A spider is almost like a book where it contains the table of contents, the actual content and the links and references for all the websites it finds during its search, and it may index up to a million pages a day.

Example:  Excite, Lycos, AltaVista and Google.

When you ask a search engine to locate information, it is actually searching through the index which it has created and not actually searching the Web. Different search engines produce different rankings because not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indices.

One of the things that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial keyword stuffing or spamdexing. Then the algorithms analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the keywords on the original page.

Clients are asking for Different B Class IP’s, but why should you need Different B Classes?

There are only 16,000 Class Bs on the entire Internet worldwide and that the way the Google algorithms work is that they only focus on different Class Cs for SEO and ranking purposes.  Google will not focus on different Class Bs because a Class B is such a huge allocation of IP space relative to the entire Internet that it would not result in meaningful data for Google and other search engines to use in their ranking matrix.  Our clients are fortunate to have 3 different Class Bs and 193 different Class Cs available under one account/management portal.  Not many companies in the world can offer that. Plus, even if could offer a package with a large number of unique Class Bs, the cost would be much higher.

Why we use InterWorx or why you should use InterWorx when you are using multiple IP’s?

iworx_logoAs you can see from interworx’s website (http://www.interworx.com), interworx is very similar in function to cPanel, but presents its information in a much simpler interface.  One major difference between the two is the way they interface with the server.  In simple terms, cPanel stands between the application you are managing (for example, the web server, mail server, spam prevention software, etc.) and acts like a ‘translator’.  You enter information in cPanel, it stores this information, and then via a system a scripts it implements your configuration in the software or application you are using.  Interworx, on the other hand, installs itself off to the side thereby allowing the server to function normally regardless of what Interworx is doing.  Whereas cPanel completely changes every aspect of the server to suit its requirements, interworx acts almost like a human technician would.  Interworx interfaces with the server when it needs to but the rest of the time it just sits on the sidelines watching and monitoring.  It has no active role on the server unless changes are being made.  In fact, you could turn interworx off after configuring a server and there would be no major consequence.

These two approaches to server management aren’t normally a big issue for most hosting providers, however, when one gets in to multiple-IP hosting the drawbacks of cPanel’s approach become glaringly apparent.  The underlying operating systems these management tools run on (CentOS in  this case) aren’t very efficient when it comes to having several IPs on a single server.  In the real world, having 10 or 20 IPs would be the exception; many servers have far fewer.  As such, when you start piling IPs on a server, a lot of bad things happen, including crashes, loss of the IP database, IP to account mapping, customer domain information, and more.  When you have cPanel on a server, the underlying problems with the operating system cannot be dealt with independently because cPanel must have the box configured in one specific manner or it won’t work.  If it doesn’t work, the box is effectively broken.  With interworx, one can tune a server to handle lots of IP addresses without affecting the function of the control panel and therefore you can dramatically reduce the risk of problems related to serving a lot of IPs.

In our extensive experience, we normally see problems start to develop when a server has between 70 and 90 IP addresses, depending on how the server is configured and what it is running.  As such, we generally shy away from supporting cPanel or DirectAdmin installations on systems with more than 50 IPs.  We certainly don’t want to install and support a server that we feel beforehand will have problems and result in an unhappy customer, so we recommend interworx.  Since you are requesting 100IPs, we strongly recommend interworx in your case.  Our standard modified OS with Interworx server can handle 1,000IPs without issue.  More can be added after the initial 1,000 sites are up and the box is tuned to the requirements of the content already present.
