A few weeks ago, my friend Michael was feeling overwhelmed with all the information and training he was receiving on the internet. His money was running out and very little was coming in. In his frustration he had forgotten all about the Googlebot.
The Googlebot is search bot software used by Google to retrieve information as it crawls the web. It looks for keywords, tags, and meta tags to index web sites for its search engine.
Learning internet marketing was not an easy thing for Mike. There is a lot to sift through when you are new to the web. Many a sleepless night was spent trying to imbibe the essence of what he had come up against during the day. Meanwhile the Googlebot crawls.
Without further hesitation, one day Michael decided to call his sponsor and give his final decision. He had become frustrated beyond the point of no return. His site was up and nothing was happening: no hits.
As it happened, his sponsor was not available when Michael made the call. So he decided to drop a two-word email instead.
“I Quit!”
The message would’ve brought good news to his wife! But Michael knew it wasn’t the time to discuss this with her. In his heart of hearts he could almost hear the lecture. Having spent these many hours on the World Wide Web with nothing to show for it, she was way-way past the feelings of being neglected.
However, you guessed it!
Just as Michael opened up his internet browser to send the email message to his sponsor – for crying out loud! You already have a hunch at what he saw.
Michael’s heart almost leapt through his mouth when he discovered a string of brand new qualified leads and a few converts in his inbox. The autoresponder had done it work.
Later during the day, when Michael clicked on Google search engine, he found that the Googlebot had given his site placement at the top section of the first page; a very coveted position for all internet marketers.
“Why did it take so long” he wondered?
And then Michael realized it was due to Google’s Googlebot software.
