Here's my stupid question addition How do Robot Visitors affect my site?

 The Help Group
My MerchantCircle page tracks visits and separates them into human and robot visitors.  I understand the effect of human visitors, what does R2D2 visiting my page do for me.

Shouldn't be any problem, actually it should help. The more links you have going to one of your sites (links that matter or are related) the more 'weight' your site will carry as an authority site.

Okay so if I link from my blog to my website, It shouldn't be a problem to have a robot follow it right?

Hit Send too quick.

A NoFollow simply tells the robot that in cannot follow that link. If you do not include that as part of the link, the robots will trace the link and register it as a valid file, page or whatever type of file it is.

To include the nofollow it should be the first thing in the link such as <a href= "nofollow" .......

OK, when you build a link, you can add tags to it. Things like Target=_Blank or some of the others listed below:

<A HREF="..." | NAME="..."
REL="..." REV="..." URN="..." TITLE="..." METHODS="..."
LANG="..." DIR=ltr|rtl CHARSET="..." ID="..." CLASS="..."
MD="..." TARGET="..." SHAPE="...">

</A>

Similar to building an image as a link (so that when you click on the image, it opens a new webpage) You simply put the <img src=http://url to image.extension> inside the <a hre=> and </a>

R2D2 is really your friend! What the robots do (they are the visitors from the different search engines) is go through your entire site looking for links, links to your pages and to pages on other websites.

Where R2D2 can become a nuisance is when you have your download link on a page and forget to include a "no_follow" tag in the link. What happens then is, if someone knows the name of your download file, they can do a search for it and get a direct link in the search listings!

Hope that helps!

Hopefully someone does. And maybe it wasn't quite as silly as I thought. Sounds like the answer will help us all
