| Email alerts for spider visits |
| 06.29.04 (4:40 pm) |
I thought this was pretty cool... if youre server is PHP enabled you can be sent an E-mail when the spiders come a'vistin' - this was in my newsletter from http://www.axandra.com
----------------------
Do you want to be automatically informed by email when Google's spider visits your web site?
A search engine spider is an automated software program that locates and collects data from web pages for inclusion in a search engine's database. The name of Google's spider is "Googlebot".
If you have a web site that allows you to use PHP code then your web pages can inform you when Google's spider has indexed them.
Ask your web space provider if you can use PHP code on your site. If you can, add the following piece of code at the very beginning of your web page HTML code, before the doctype declaration and before the tag:
$email = "you@example.com";
if(eregi("googlebot",$_SE RVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
{
mail($email, "The Googlebot came to call",
"Google has visited: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?
(Source: V. M. Marshalls weblog)
This little piece of PHP code recognizes Googlebot if it visits the web page, and it informs you by email when Googlebot has been there.
Of course, you have to replace "you@example.com" with your own email address. The web page must end with .php and you must be allowed to use PHP on your web site.
Note that a visit of the Googlebot doesn't mean that Google will index your web site. Google will decide later if the visited page is suitable for its database.
You can also use this code with other search engine spiders. To be informed by email when Yahoo's spider visits your web pages, replace "googlebot" in the example with "yahoo! Slurp":
$email = "you@example.com";
if(eregi("yahoo! Slurp",$_SERVER['HTTP_USE R_AGENT']))
{
mail($email, "The Yahoo bot came to call",
"Yahoo has visited: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?

Fun stuff isn't it? I thought I had good browsing habits... didn't go into the dark alleys of the Web. Low and behold I was eaten up with it. It's taken over our clients machines, to the point of a complete reinstall in some cases, and has reeked havoc all around the world. The damage is far more worse than a good ol' virus. It's the wild wild web out there folks. Har Har matey!
Here is a good collection of links about this evil crap:

If you send out a request to invite someone to Gmail from your hotmail account, it will be culled:

| Yahoo! to up mailboxes to 100 M |
| 06.16.04 (10:11 am) |
I'm sure this will be old news by the time I hit the publish button... but in order to compete with GMail Yahoo is upping the ante from 4-5 Megs to 100Megs and you can now send 10 Meg attachments.
Yahoo is also consolidating all of its premium email services into a single program, called Mail Plus, offering 2 gigabytes of capacity for an annual fee of $19.99.
