Hi Kalena - just a note regarding #5, it may not apply to all search engines, but for Google you could just return HTTP result code 503 during the time when the site is down for maintenance (using the .htaccess or whatever). There’s a note on this at http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/08/all-about-googlebot.html Of course I wouldn’t do this for 3 weeks over the holidays :-) (I used to see quite a few of those)One other search-engine-style mistake (imo) is to have the server return full error messages to all clients when something goes wrong (and not returning 500)... how many SQL errors have your clients gotten indexed?
Nice John! Good to see you commenting here.BTW - Some of my (old, long time ago) sites formerly ranked very well for SQL error codes ;) Although it wasn’t exactly well-targetted traffic! Is it a coincidence that I no longer code directly?
Kalena - nice work. I can think of examples or similarities to nearly each of these on the list (except for #2)
Wow, great to see this Sphunn so much - thanks all.@ g1smd - I’d forgotten all about that hilarious site, thanks for the reminder.@ John - good point. It really isn’t that hard is it? It still amazes me how some programmers STILL don’t get it.@ Tim - yep, code isn’t very forgiving unfortunately. Would love to hear some of your examples.
