Identify Search Engine Robots

If you're like me and get spammed and scraped by unquestionables that are certainly not up to any good then this article may help you decide which search engine robots to allow and which ones to ban.

I always have trouble deciding which IP addresses to block on my blog and once of twice I've probably even blocked a ligitimate robot.

The article is titled : How to Identify Legitimate Search Robots and hopefully it will give you a few pointers on which IP addresses to kick into touch!

Isn't it a shame that the internet is full of so many delinquents that normal Webmasters trying to improve their sites and provide good, quality content are disrupted and waste so much time trying to contact the slugs of the 'net.

Ms Dewey Brightens Up Search

A well kept secret by MSN Search is Ms Dewey, a search engine with a major difference!

The search is brightened up by the very talented and also very good looking Ms Dewey. She'll held you find what you're looking for and guide you through the internet with some well appointed phrases and remarks.

Ms Dewey shows that the search engines do sometimes like a little fun and she can be very funny at times. It's well constructed and will keep you coming back again and again to use Ms Dewey as you search for your favourite things online.

Check out the Ms Dewey Search page now and see how much fun a search engine really can be. Somehow I can't see Google coming up with anything so entertaining.
