Frames


There are some engines whose spiders won’t work with frames on your site. A web page that is built using frames is actually a combination of content from separate “pages” that have been blended into a single page through a ‘frameset’ instruction page. The frameset page does not have any content or links that would have promoted spidering. The frameset page could block the spider’s movement. The workaround is by placing a summary of the page content and relevant description in the frameset page and also by placing a link to the home page on it.

Different types of Traffic


Can I have a brief knowledge of different types of traffic?

Traffic is of different types, you can classify them as:

FTP User

Generated when you upload your files to your web account. If you have any FTP sub-accounts, their traffic will be included here, too.

Virtual FTP

Generated when authorized or anonymous internet users download, upload or view files in your virtual FTP directories. If you administer your account through dedicated IP, it will be also added to Virtual FTP Traffic.

Mail

Generated when e-mail messages are sent or received.

HTTP

Generated when internet visitors browse your web site(s).

Real Server FTP

Generated when internet users download media files from your RealServer directory.

Real User FTP

Generated when you upload your media files to your RealServer directory.

Concurrent Throttle policy


Hi,

Concurrent Throttle policy, impose a limit on the number of concurrent requests at any one time. The period specifies how long data is accumulated before the counters are reset.

Limit on Number of Requests


I do want to impose a limit on the number of requests per period. What shall, I do?

You need to imply Document throttle policy, it will impose a limit on the number of requests per period excluding requests for HTML page elements such as images and style sheets.
When this limit is exceeded, all further requests are refused, until the elapsed time exceeds the period length, at which point the elapsed time and the counters are reset.

Idle time between Requests


To prevent overlimit charges, you can reserve more traffic by changing your traffic limit to the bandwidth level you are expecting to have. For that you can impose a mimimum idle time between requests that is Idle throttle policy.
When the miminum is not reached, the request incurs a calculated delay penalty or is refused. First, whenever the elapsed time exceeds the period length, then the counters are reset. Second, if the idle time between requests exceeds the minimum, then the the request proceeds without delay. Otherwise the request is delayed between one and ThrottleMaxDelay seconds. If the delay would exceed ThrottleMaxDelay, then the request is refused entirely to avoid occupying servers unnecessarily. The delay is computed as the policy minimum less the idle time between requests.

KB’s sent per period


To enable the throttle module to throttle the use of traffic in your account by delaying or refusing requests to your sites, you can do the following:

1. Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu.
2. Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
3. Scroll the page to find the Throttle Policy option and turn it on.
4. Agree to charges, if any.
5. Select the type of policy anc click Submit

By selecting the Original – you can impose a limit on the volume (kbytes sent) per period, which when exceeded the request incurs a counter-based delay penalty or is refused. First, whenever the elapsed time exceeds the period length, then the volume and elapsed time are halved. Second, if the volume is below the limit, then the delay counter is decreased by one second if it is not yet zero. Otherwise, when the limit is exeeded, the delay counter is increased by one second. The delay can be between zero and ThrottleMaxDelay seconds, after which the request will be refused to avoid occupying servers unnecessarily.

The other throttle policies you can use are Random, Request, Speed and Volume:-

Random randomly accept a percentage (limit) of the requests. If the percentage is zero (0), then every request is refused; if the percentage is 100, then all requests are accepted. The period specifies how long data is accumulated before the counters are reset.

Request imposes a limit on the number of requests per period. When this limit is exceeded all further requests are refused until the elapsed time exceeds the period length, at which point the elapsed time and counters are reset.

Speed imposes a limit on the volume (kbytes sent) per period, which when exceeded the request incurs a calculated delay penalty or is refused. First, whenever the elapsed time exceeds the period length, then the limit (allowance) is deducted from the volume, which cannot be a negative result; also the period length is deducted from the elapse time. Second, if the volume is below the limit, in which case the request proceeds without delay. Otherwise the request is delayed between one and ThrottleMaxDelay seconds. If the delay would exceed ThrottleMaxDelay, you refuse the request entirely to avoid occupying servers unnecessarily. The delay is computed as one plus the integer result of the volume times 10 divided by the limit.

Volume imposes a limit on the volume (kbytes sent) per period. When this limit is exceeded all further requests are refused, until the end of the period at which point the elapsed time and counters are reset.

Tables


When you use tables on the key pages and if some columns have descriptions while others have numbers, it is possible that this may push your keywords down the page. Search engines break up the table and read them for the content the columns have. The first column is read first, then the next and so on. Thus if the first column had numbers, and the next one had useful descriptions, the positioning of these descriptions will suffer. The strategy is to avoid using such tables near the top of the key pages. Large sections of Javascripts also will have the same effect on the search engines. The HTML part will be pushed down. Thus again, place your long Javascripts lower down on key pages.

DNS Server


Hi,

With the DNS Server which is also a computer you use to access the DNS to allow you to contact other computers on the Internet. The server keeps a database of host computers and their IP addresses.

Link spamming


Realizing the importance of links and link analysis in search engine results, several link farms and Free for All sites have appeared that offer to provide links to your site. This is also referred to as link spamming. Most search engines are smarter to this obvious tactic and know how to spot this. Such FFA sites, as they are known, do not provide link quality or link context, two factors that are important in link analysis. Thus the correct strategy is to avoid link spamming and not get carried away by what seems to be too simple a solution.

Paid Placement Programs


Many Search Engines have now started offering paid placement programs in addition to their already existing programs. When someone searches for a specific term, the listings show up in the order of highest bidder first, second highest bidder second and so on. If two companies bid the same amount, the first bid gets priority for the listing and will be listed first. Such programs are called Paid Placement Programs or Pay-per-click programs. You only pay when someone clicks on your listing and is delivered to your website.
