0pn Search Engine News

It has been quite some time since updating this blog. This is due to the big business move to Portland, OR. We hope that this will bring 0pn to the next level. With this move has come many new changes from a new phone number (503) 616-4739 to better quality internet business connections for our crawlers to do a better job.

As you can see we are experimenting with ads once again on the website. We are in a bit of limbo waiting on some others to get the ads just right. So you will see lots of changes in the next few days- Both good and bad. We will stick with the good later on.

Monday is a big day for 0pn.com we will be releasing our first press release to let the world know that 0pn.com exists. So all of our faithful follows should see a huge bump in searches and clickthroughs to websites. Good news all around.

After this stuff is done the next step is going to be a major directory submissions and article writing to bring more traffic 0pn.com Hopefully after that our search engine database will grow to such a size that all of our results will be relevant and topical and will create a user experince that gets people talking.

Don't forget to submit your individual page urls to the new Crawler Queue these will be added to the list of domains/pages we are currently running in the 0pn skelton crawler and will be added to the database on the next upload.

Search term of the day College

The 0pn search engine now has a new way of staying in contact. You can now pick up the telephone and call us.
The only downfall on this is most of us keep office hours way outside the banker hour timeframe. So we have set up voicemail services, as well. Give us a call on our new telephone number 541-359-2576.

We have redone, from the ground up, the most popular search words section at 0pn.com.

Now you can view over 15500 phrases that have recently been search for. While our searches way exceed that number. These terms have all been searched for multiple times. This makes our directory structure a bit easier to read(by search engines).

We are also looking into creating a complete html sitemap of the entire "human edited" entrys so that webmaster entries will be found and indexed on third party search engines.

Well 0pn is having issues once again.

I sit here wondering how many mirrors we broke, black cats crossed, ladders walked under, salt spilled for more things we must have done to deserve this go here: http://www.oldsuperstitions.com/bad_luck.html

Now our backup datbase servers are down for the count and have been for a few hours now. We have no estimated time of repair and are again looking for a new host. This will be our 3rd in less than 1 month. We will not accept mediocrity from our servers our guests deserve 0pn to be up. And We can't do that if our servers are down.

Now that I have your attention a small note on what we HAD PLANNED for this weekend. We may delay this until Monday or Tuesday depending on how long it takes us to get our backup server back online.
1. Human Entered Websites-we are swinging keyphrase importance away from the individual words to the PHRASE. 97% of all searches contain one or more search terms and focusing on the phrases will allow quicker more targeted searches.

2. New submit buttons-We are switching to java search button to allow for the GET search URL to be read more easily by third party web applications.

3. Keyphrase propgate - We are working on coding to allow manually entered phrases to point to urls/titles and descriptions that contain the search phrase entered. This will allow webmasters to better target pages within the domain that better match the search our guests have searched for.

Hang in there folks we are still growing faster than a snowball rolling downhill even with the big bumps we keep hitting we are here fighting/crying and stressing along with you. For all of you standing with us we thank you very much.

Google Compliance

Well we worked our butts off tonight.

After a e-mail to the Google Adsense team about compliance. YES I e-mailed them and told them what COULD be wrong(talk about stupid on my part). We were told something completely different to a previous E-mail so now we have an EXTREME filter in place.

Every time someone searches for something Google considers bad then ads would not be shown.
This slows down the search page considerably and takes away many revenue potential searches like "adult diapers" because we have to block the word adult because that is likely to produce some adult content.

So now if you see your title/descriptions missing some key words this would be the case. It kills me to sensor anything at all. I'm so against censorship of any kind. But I have to comply with the regulations THAT PAY THE MONEY.

The 0pn Skeleton Crawler has been working overtime. We have programmed six modes of data retrieval into the crawler and we just finished what we have coined 'skim mode.'
This mode focuses on keyword density and keyword meta tags. This works simply if you website has a word or phrase in the meta tags we check the rest of you site and see if that word actually reaches a certain keyword density - If so - The crawler then associates your website with that keyword and ads it to the database.

Next mode we are beginning the run has a code name of 'tantalizing titles' As you may already know many search engines love the title because they expect it to show the contents of the page in a nutshell. We work on faith with this one because the keyword density of the page can meet a lower percentage and still be included.

While we have not updated the version number(1.0) we did make some minor tweaks. Some mirror pages were sneaking through under the same word and have included a title/description comparison. This is far from foolproof so we are going to continue working on the new ways around this crafty little websites.

Now onto our first impressions of the first database upload.
Seeing that the current databases is only a drop in the bucket of what we plan for the final database. We are thrilled with initial results. We now have results given on 82% of the searches. Some of those results are still a bit lacking but those should be moved down to the bottom of the results page as the better databases replace the first.

Big search of the day - consolidate debt
