This page is again designed for "the rest of us". Just because someone is able to write all kinds of technical details about inner workings of spidering technology does not mean that they will necessarily be able to help you understand how you should view search engine spiders. WHOIS BID also realizes that most people lose concentration very quickly when it comes to technical subjects. Too much technical jargon can sometimes be an impediment to someone working on a project. It can become a DARK COMPUTING CLOUD that envelopes its victims by stealth.
Do you want to see how I was encouraged after 4 months of trying to build this site? Watch the video first and be inspired and then use whatever you want from my search engine journal for the first three months struggle in late 2010 and early 2011. May this page revolutionize the way you perceive the web through seeing one man's struggle. Don't give up in 2011 or later. You can win! You can do it! But you must fight for your life and commit yourself every day!
Our guess is that most people who have successful websites may not even know much about spiders on the web or even care about them - but strangely they have been doing something right and have got the attention of the search engine spiders. Catching the spider's attention initially is good but in order to get the most out them, they need to be triggered to come back and visit your site regularly. If you have ever played with real spiders you will see that they are interest to see their victims on their web. Something new has joined their web and they might be inclined to CRAWL their own woven network.
The following is an example taken from the WHOIS BID stats page for November 2010.
If you take a look at the columns with stars you will see that the web statistics program started logging activity one week ago (today being November the 15th) Clearly,if you look at the visitor column, there are not many visitors so far and WHOIS BID does not have anything impressive to show yet since few people know about the site . The visitors have been mostly been digital insects i.e. search engine spiders. The point is that there has been spider activity and some spiders don't have a problem revealing who they are. Here are some examples of the spiders that were given names by their owners who also have visited WHOIS BID at least once in the last week. Some were more active than others even coming more than ten times. At this point, we feel that there is no need to give more details but simply to show our visitors that these spiders are doing their job . The following are examples of some spiders that were taken from the stats that showed what SITES have been coming to WHOISBID in the last week.
We expect that these spiders will come again and other spiders will eventually wake up and start doing their job. Of course there are different kinds of spiders . There are COMMON SPIDERS , BLOG SPIDERS, IMAGE BOTS and so on. We don't want to bore you with technical details because there are plenty of people doing that already.
Right now there is not much to show anyone about the SPIDERS only that they have come and will most likely come again. What is important for a website that has just begun is to make sure that they keep coming and to watch how frequently they come. WHOIS BID is a 100% UNIQUE CONTENT WEBSITE using its own photos, artwork and text. It is also a site that is being updated frequently. WHOIS BID believes that it is doing everything properly and that these spiders should be coming back again and more frequently. Bookmark this site and come back again in a few weeks if you are interested to see anything new developing. We hope that in showing this information to you that you will start to pay attention to spidering activity if you are working on a site. If you have a new site and it is not being spidered often, there is a probably a reason why. We believe that one of the major reasons could be LACK OF CONTENT, COPIED CONTENT (words, text and pictures) and infrequent updates. There may also be something wrong with your html and you could try a META TAG ANALYZER but don't underestimate the top search engines by believing that they are completely stupid like many people do. If believing that how well you did your tags and keyword stuffing is the only way to get a search engine's attention , then search engines are incredibly dumb. Well, in many ways they are dumb because they are bots. There are some search engines that are extremely dumb but the popular ones are not. The popular ones have billions of dollars invested into their technology so they are not going to want to be manipulated by a crowd of SEO's who are always trying to CHEAT THE SYSTEM.
QUICK UPDATES ARE BECOMING POPULAR e.g. TWITTER
This is just a quick update for those who are interested. Of course this report is very subjective but it may be helpful to someone who wants to see what happens to a site like WHOIS BID. Lets start from the 14th of November. Notice that there was a SURGE IN WEBSITE VISITORS i.e. from 38 the previous day to 128. This was because WHOIS BID signed up with TWITTER and made 24 TWEETS. BTW- We don't think it is worth bothering trying to trick google by using Twitter solely for the purpose of increasing your adsense earnings. Google is not stupid!
The next day, the traffic returns to what we would call a natural state. (see blue VISITS column from the 14th to the 16th. So far, WHOIS BID is not being found by any GENERIC SEARCH TERMS. What we mean by this is that we are not getting any live human beings coming to this site yet from them typing in certain search terms into a search engine. If you are using a statistics program you can see this from the "SEARCH STRINGS" We know from experience that when the site starts getting found by certain SEARCH STRINGS or SEARCH TERMS or KEYWORDS, the traffic/visitors will start to increase. So, that has not happened yet and we believe this is normal for a site like this . When will we start to get decent natural search visitors? When will this happen? And what search strings will lead people to WHOIS BID? Well, that remains to be seen. If you happen to be a human being who has been led here somehow and you want to know, then bookmark us and come back at a later date. These things are FASCINATING to the writer of this page and he is allowing you into his world. This site is no longer something off the street. It is now becoming a
UPDATE FOR NOVEMBER 21st 2010
Checking the website statistics today- we find that the most visited page on the site is this page! What does this mean? Well, we believe that there are not enough statistics as of yet to make any assumptions because the amount of traffic to the WHOIS BID website is still relatively small. It is now exactly two weeks since we uploaded our first page.
Visit Sample data from 16-20 November 2010
The increase in visitors is not from natural search using search engines. It is from Tweeting using TWITTER. Whois Bid has been building new pages and announcing them on Twitter regularly because Twitter seems to be the fastest way to get your message out. Although you are going to enter a world that is crowded with all sorts of things going on that may be irrelevant to your purpose you just might be able to get someone's attention i.e. someone who is interested in what your website is about and WHOIS behind the website. The TWEETS account for the slight inflation of traffic and we will show you more very soon. It is now possible to easily find WHOIS BID using certain non popular terms on the major search engine such as DOMAIN NAME BID RIGGING and a few other related search strings to do with DECEPTION ON THE INTERNET -but this example of these particular search strings being used to find the WHOIS BID WEBSITE is not something to get excited about unless of course your KEYWORD TARGETING activities have been directed to a specifc audience or SPECIALIST MARKET .When you see SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING companies tell you that they can get you first position on a search engine you should be very suspicious of the examples that they give to prove this. They will chose obscure search strings (non popular search terms) as examples to impress people that they are able to do this. Showing examples of being No #1 in for a search term in a search engine for something very few people are search on does not prove that they can help you. If you really investigate these things you will see that companies do this because people fall for it. People and companies are desperate to get highly ranked on search engines and sometimes they are willing to do anything to get the results that they want. Even to risk their website being blacklisted. We are living in a highly competitive world filled with CARPET BAGGERS and the likes.
Lets be honest - very few people will be using combinations of those words in search but most businessmen are not going to listen. This is because most of the people with money are the older generation and these older people don't want to know how search engine optimization really works.
They are willing to pay others a small fortune to take care of it but they don't know what they are paying for and they don't know how to properly evaluate those providing these services. This means that a lot of people are making money from selling services which they do not actually provide.
One thing that is encouraging about our current progress is that this website (after 2 weeks) can now be found using some uncommon simple generic terms (or should we say UNPOPULAR POPULAR SEARCH TERMS ....BUT.... the statistics tell us that no-one is yet finding this site using any particular POPULAR SEARCH TERMS . This now has to do with SEARCH ENGINE RANKING . That is because our SEARCH POSITION is far too low e.g when you do a search in the MAJOR SEARCH ENGINES using popular search terms WHOIS BID does not appear on the first page but way way deep into the results and you may have to go through the search engine list. Any small or medium sized website that is going to be popular using natural search will normally have only a few keywords that it is popular for. Sometimes marketing companies give reports to their clients telling them "YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND" by all these keywords etc. Well, that is not the whole truth. You need to look at the percentage of people who came to your site using those particular keywords. For example, If you are targeting a subject such as DOMAIN NAME APPRAISAL and you have see your web statistics report that out of 1000 visitors only 2 people found your site using those search terms then it is not really working. There are tons of ways in which self proclaimed SEO experts fool their clients into believe that they are actually producing results. If you really are hiring someone to do WHITE HAT SEO for your company, you need to find someone you can trust and you need to pay them a decent amount of money because it is a lot of hard work helping someone to make his website popular using natural search. This is a big problem for true SEO professionals because most of their clients are never going to understand what they are doing and so you end up with discouraged UNDERVALUED SEO'S who will probably end up running their own business. Most people these days are trapped and so they turn to PAYPERCLICK advertising to get what they want. PAYPERCLICK is not SEO at all but there people selling consulting services for KEYWORD BIDDING (which is what PPC is) These people sell these services calling them SEO services when actually they are not.
Most people are not going to be finding a website that does not have any high position for any SEARCH TERMS. What will be the most popular keywords that people will use in future to find the WHOIS BID WEBSITE? Well, remember to bookmark this page and come back later for the next updates to find out. Tune in for the NEXT EPISODE in this exciting discovery!
Have you ever worked under pressure to produce results? If you are working for a boss who expects you to produce results you might find you are under incredible pressure. Sometimes this is good because you will have to think about why you are not getting results. Sometimes you will have to discard all your knowledge and experience and humble yourself realizing you still know nothing about anything. Then you will become free to change.
Well today was a happy day for the WHOIS BID WEBSITE. It was the first day that we logged onto our CPANEL and found in the WEBALIZER that finally a human being has found this website by typing in a search string unrelated to this domain name keyword. It was related to HOW DARK CLOUD COMPUTING HAPPENED . Maybe for some this is nothing to get excited about but for us it is GOOD NEWS because it means that it has only taken just over two weeks to be found by a human being using a search engine and not just their SPIDERS. We have also seen a general daily increase in visitors but it is nothing impressive. We will update those who are interested in this page in a few more days with some other thoughts.
Spiders on chart represent main search engine bots
Smiley faces represent real people coming to the site
It is now DAY 18 and the WHOIS BID WEBSITE is 2 1/2 weeks young. The figures are now beginning to change. If you take a look at the yellow peaks you will see smiley faces which showing human beings visiting the site and not just spiders. The main cause for this is TWITTER. On day 18 we now have a mixture of visitors. The most being from Twitter, the second most are search engine spiders (Google being the most active by far) and visitors who have typed keywords in a search engine and have found us by that method (few so far) The WHOIS BID WEBSITE does not really have any links from powerful websites, so we are not counting visits from others linking to us -since we are not depending on that , although later we will probably find that some sites have linked to us. There are of course other statistics we could look at but the data is not enough to draw too many conclusions. TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT UPDATE !
STATISTICS UPDATE MONDAY NOVEMBER 29th 2010 (about 1.am yeh- its late)
OK folks, I deleted some of the comments I wrote in the last few days because in reading my own writing I realized its not fun to see too many details. What can we see about WHOISBID today? I am going to put an image underneath from one of the stats programs but I have taken out things I do not feel we need to see right now. What we are looking at are the top four pages since November 7th.
It seems that apart from the index page the most popular pages are THIS PAGE you are reading right now. LOL! and the next is the one on Dark Cloud Computing and the 4th is a page about Link Deception
If you do a search today in the most popular search engine in the world and if you are in the United States or in Asia , you might be surprised that it is now very easy to find this site if you were looking for "LINK DECEPTION" . I personally have no idea how popular those terms are and if they are going to bring more visitors to WHOIS BID but it is something to show you and maybe you will get excited seeing something happen dynamically and not after the fact. Don't you think in doing this we are a unique website? LOL! OK as for visitors to the pages they are still mainly SPIDERS and traffic from Twitter ranging between 65-93 visitors a day. I will not be showing a graph for that at this moment because it is not interesting- now that you already know. I will be back soon when something interesting happens to show everyone. See you soon!
We are now at the end of November. Today is the 30th. Tomorrow will be a new month for thirty days hath September, April, June and November- all the rest have 31 (except of course Feb & the leap year) . Stats have not changed very much and we are still not really being found on search engines but anyone who is finding us through a search engine is doing it through GOOGLE and so in November 2010, this website gives the award for greatest , most active spidering company to GOOGLE.COM. Google does not need a hyperlink from us but this poorly website will give them credit. Here is your hyperlink GOOGLE
I would like to add that its no surprise that Google is the number one search engine in the world. If you watch your stats you will see that their activity on scanning new websites is far more than the others. Could it be that we are seeing alot of GOOGLE spiders coming to this website because it is ORIGINAL CONTENT? Ah, it is definitely something to consider if someone is claiming to be a modern day SEO.
Today is December 5th. I have not forgotten about updating this page, its just that there is not much to say (nothing much has changed). Most of the traffic coming to this site is from our Twitter account. There is some traffic coming from Google but it is a very small amount and nothing to be excited about. We can be found by doing searches such as ZZ TOP TOTAL EARNINGS but that is not what this site is about but thank they search engines anyway for bringing any kind of traffic to a brand new site. Knowing that someone came to your site can be encouraging.
Today we did something new, we added the google translate widget to all our pages. We will let you know if this helps in any way. In the meantime I believe that it takes some patience to work on a site so that it begins to be found by several search terms on search engines. During this "doubting period" you may want to read something about the DARK SIDE of CLOUD COMPUTING which really has little relevance to cloud computing itself but more for those who are battling against something quite enormous. I will probably have something more to say (something interesting or helpful) in a few days.
Today is December the 8th. I want to wait a few more days. I have found Twitter is still getting more traffic to this site than search engines give it.
UPDATE FOR DECEMBER 10th 2010
Just so that someone who really is following this knows that I am still around and still updating the site I am going to show what keywords were being used to find the glorious domain name bidding site called WHO IS BID. ;) This is still not anything impressive but some of us might find encouragement that at least it is possible to see some search engine activity in just over a month.
domain name bidding 16.4 %
carelmeyer 13.9 %
search copied image 6.3 %
link deception 5.0 %
zz top total earnings 3.7 %
the bad side of
cloud computing 3.7 %
original websites 2.5 %
futuredomainnames 2.5 %
Its quite interesting that someone found us by searching for .................. FUTUREDOMAINNAMES .....however, take note that the search is NOT for "FUTURE DOMAINS NAMES" (3 words) and so it could of been a BOT scouting to find a list of indexed domains/ urls or net content for future domain name related bumf either to use for their own research, to fill some spam pages with this content or some other reasons which could be the subject of another page. Maybe its just an individual who is trying to find out WHO IS LINKING TO ME There are people every second of the day typing in their URL name into a search engine because they believe in the importance of backlinks and so they want to find out WHICH WEBSITES ARE LINKING TO MY WEBSITE which is also a great search term ;)
Here are the rest of the keywords that are beginning to pop up for WHOISBID. We are aren't really getting much internet traffic as of December 10th. We did get almost 350 visitors on one particular day last week but that I believe was due to an interesting TWEET. In a few days I will upload a new graph for anyone who is interested to see what happens in the second month of this website.
One other interesting search term that was used to find this site was googletranslateelementinit . Obviously you won't see real people searching for googletranslateelementinit unless you are STRANGE LIKE ME
There could be many reasons why someone would be using BOTS to see HOW PPOPULAR IS GOOGLE TRANSLATE is or for want of better words the "popularity of the google translation widget" and that is why they are mostly likely interested in the occurence of "translate element init" found in web pages. This is part of the script that is used by the Google Translation Widget and so my guess is that someone wants to know how popular this is becoming or get some statistical information for some other purpose. There are alot of people in the world who are doing strange things in basements LOL! Maybe they are not in a basement but in a lab or a nice office . Another thing that is interesting is that a popular META TAG CHECKER is reporting that it could be problematic for us to put the widget code next to our H1 Header. I personally think that it is not going to be a problem but we will find out sooner or later.
Its now Monday 13th December and my stats tell me that now Yahoo is the winning Spider for WHOIS BID. They are now visiting more than any other search engine. WOW! OK, more to come soon!
Now it is December 15th and Yahoo seems to have been overtaken by Google. Yahoo's victory was short lived. So far we have not really seen much activity if any from Yandex or Baidu Spider- but this could change, so we do not discount anyone but welcome all kinds of insects, spiders and bots to WHOISBID. Tune in to the next episode of WHOIS BID which is COMING SOON!
OK... I am back and today and happy to show some unique statistics for different keyphrases that some people are now using to find WHOIS BID. I have omitted some of the major ones because it was me searching for those terms. Domain name Bidding was edited by me because it is not representative.
On the left menu I have also uploaded some statistics showing daily visitors to the site in a colour graph format. My comments are underneath UNIQUE VISITORS DEC

Today we are finally have an ALEXA RANK . We are ranked by Alexa as the 15,294,200
To celebrate this momentous occasion we are going to show you an award that we are giving to ourselves (kind of like a pat on the back which everyone needs now and again) This award is an image we are going to display on the left of the page which shows our current rank listing in Alexa. We hope that this will answer questions people are search for. If you are too tired to calculate how many days or weeks it took to get a ranking in Alexa then go to "How long to get Alexa rank?"
If you want to know more about why Alexa is important to "some" people. You can see that some website value estimators figure Alexa rank into their calculation. Although the rank is nothing much to boast about we will take whatever we are given and be happy that at least we a tiny tiny bit more valuable to a robot estimator. Ha Ha! What other encouragement do we have? Well tune in and find out more. The next episode is about to begin!
Today is December the 19th 2010. It has now been approximately 42 days since this website began. I am going to leave some information underneath this text in regards to our page views and for those who are not familiar with page views there will be an explanation on the left hand column somewhere. These figures are not from the Webalizer but from AWSTATS which seems to report less visits than the Webalizer because it trys to filter out visits from search engine robots ( I prefer to call them spiders!) There definitely seems to be some people coming to this site and viewing more than one page. I hope this is useful to anyone who is taking a look at a website that is less than 2 months old.

If you care to take a quick look at a few of the website value estimator programs you will see at this point we don't really have anyone linking to us. The reports of any site linking to us might show some links but these are not really valuable. When you see a valuable link it is normally shown by "Google links" and so we do not have any proper links as Google currently sees it. Many of these programs show "Yahoo Backlinks" and "Google Backlinks" and you can learn the different quite easily. This is of course if you are english speaking and your first priority is to get noticed by the english speaking internet community "performing search" of which Google is currently the leader by far.
Today is the 24th of December and I will be updating this further probably after new year!
Taking a break from concerns about search engines!
Today is January the 3rd 2011. Happy New Year to anyone reading this. After checking stats this site is not really getting any more dramatic change in visitors from search engines. The daily amount of natural traffic is probably between 50 and 90 for natural traffic i.e. without social media e.g. We will be working on improving and adding other things to this website and will come back with some more statistics in the middle of the month.
Tomorrow we will be a two month old website.
If you have been following this, it has now been almost 2 months since the Who is bid site began. We are still looking at the number of visitors that come to the site but would like to point out that the natural traffic at this point (from search engines) cannot compete with Twitter traffic. Take a look at the visits column (yellow) in the tilted stats snapshot for the past few days. Notice that one of the numbers is 324. This was a day when we turned to Twitter for traffic. Making several tweets about the different things on the site raised the traffic level to over 300. The WHOIS BID Twitter site now has almost 3000 followers so this would explain why it is possible to tweet and get higher numbers. As far as natural search terms are concerned there are some people now using search engines and finding us by using some search strings that we have posted o the left menu. This is for the month of January 2011.
If you have read this far, it means you are interested to see what happens to us because it may have some bearing on what is going to happen to you and your website. Today I am not going to show any stats because although this site is being found by a few search terms here and there, the details may not be interesting. OK, 2 months and where are we? Well, this website is not really getting anywhere with search engines i.e. compared to other websites that are much older I would say we are getting about 1/10 of the natural search visits that a much older website with pagerank would be getting. Are we going to give up? No! Lets continue and see what happens!
At this stage in the site's growth there is no way to increase natural search apart from uploading new content but even doing that will not bring a lot more natural search in a very short period of time. People need to see some kind of results at this stage and since we are human, we cannot keep working without seeing growth. Those of you who have experience with building websites will know what I am talking about. I will continue to post information on this page periodically about our progress and try to continually update/improve this website but my mind is now set on Twitter and Blogs. The great thing about Twitter and one of the reasons why it is so addictive is that you can see increase in your Twitter followers . To some people this can boost your morale because it is moving forward while you see results from search engines remain in a kind of sandboxed or stagnant state. You can also search the internet for blogs with related interests to your site and although when you post it is most likely going to be a no follow link it is encouraging when you see someone reply to something you have written. I guess you are helping the site blog owner more than your own cause but to some people any kind of exposure and response is better than nothing. I personally believe that things like Twitter scare the living daylights out of search engines when it comes to PPC and I have been thinking about what could possibly change in the future to turn the tide i.e. for changes to occur that will give more advantages to fresh content and original content. So much on the internet that is picked up by search engines and highly ranked is very old. It may be relevant but relevance also means "real time" relevance. Well, whatever is going to happen is not going to change the fact that we have to work within the current setting and framework we are given at this time, much of which is controlled by Google. So, we will continue!
Joining me on Twitter is the way to see where I am going
The conclusion for this site in 2011 is in the hands of?
Of course there may be some more updates on this page but I like to play games with chips and put my money in places where I think it is going to go furthest. Thanks to anyone who has read up to this point and appreciates the time and effort spent on making this informational website. If you want to backlink to me to help us out, just go ahead. Backlinks seem to be very important for any new website so if you own link wheels from times gone past you are in a very fortunate position.
UPDATE FOR JANUARY 23rd 2011
Hey folks, I am back! If you have been following this, then you will know that today our website is about 10 weeks old. If you are now familiar with stats, then simply take a look at the stats below to see that this site is actually making progress with search engines although it is extremely slow. After 10 weeks, Twitter is still the most valuable and powerful asset we have. Twitter is able to bring traffic to your website that search engines did not. Whatever they say about Twitter, no-one can fault the truth that new websites need this service to get traffic to their site while waiting several months for search engines to bring any meaningful results. The higher numbers of visitors that you see in these stats are not from search engines but from Tweets.
If you take a look at the info below, you will see that search engines are not making up most of the internet traffic we are currently receiving from simply doing a few tweets here and there. This will probably change later on. Maybe you will be interested to come back every month and see for yourself. Whatever traffic we are getting from search engines can you see that currently Google brings the most traffic at 92.5%. As for Yahoo, I did a scan to see how many pages it has indexed at this point and can see that Google has indexed double the amount in the same period of time.

I am happy to say that on week 11 it seems like Google is really kicking in because this site is now being found by over 150 search terms.
There is no need for me to write any further or add anything to this page after 3 months of building an experimental website to see what is actually going on. I suspect that most people calling themselves an SEO would not have the balls to do what I have done. This makes my website unique because I am not just giving my opinion. If you want to see right now what amount of traffic and page views I am getting, you can use a bunch of third party programs to get an idea. What you are going to find is that none of them can actually give 100% correct information. This is because the metric they all use is different. Many of them are also using different sources of information. Some of these website value checkers are simply using the domain age as the most important factor. What they are doing actually does reflect somewhat of a truth about search engines i.e. the older you are, the more traffic you will be allowed. Of course you have to be adding content to your website too. It is simple common sense that a blank page is not going to get much attention.
After working somewhat hard over a three month period, this website can get a minimum amount of visitors of about 100+ from search engines. Spending time on Twitter can bring the number to over 400. I am pretty sure in 9 months time this site will be getting over 1000 visitors per day "if" I continue working on it.
Someone who is young and working on a new website is going to look for means to get the most attention in the shortest period of time. If he/she finds that his/her work cannot be rewarded fast enough (is everyone patient?) then they might end up not wanting to support search engines. They will support social networks. There are millions of young people currently spending more than 1 hour a day on social networks. This looks like it is going to be a battle between a younger and an older generation. My bet for the long term is with the younger generation. In the meantime we still have to work with the "older ways" and so SEO is not going to go away soon. You need a decent SEO if you want to get anywhere on the net.
The following video is a short update of what happened after 4 1/2 months. I have built a site with about 160 pages of 100% unique content by this time. Some of the pages are not yet spidered and not indexed and I have caught people copying my text and images before search engines have even seen it. The search engines do not spider this site fast enough or often enough but they do spider older sites better. I know this because I type in the full text into the search bar of short paragraphs containing my unique material and see that those copy sites appear on the first page of search engines with those exact terms. They do not even modify my spelling mistakes.
This is crippling news to anyone who is doing something new. It means that older more powerful sites who do not have unique content are given even more power when they steal something from your website before the search engine has even seen it. It means that new people are going to want to buy backlinks because they have no choice or they are going to get together and try and spend all day on their social network instead of trying to improve the quality and content of their site. I also have seen evidence of certain third party robot spiders following certain search terms they have in a database e.g. they will get a robot to pretend it is a human searching for things like " what is inside a ping pong ball " and they will follow the link to your site and rip your unique content to be processed by programs they have developed to count your keyword density, inlinks, number of images etc etc because they want to figure out what kind of page they need to auto generate to be on top of you for those keywords. When you view your stats you might think it is humans searching for these terms but it is actually robots. There are probably millions of these robots around the web right now on different IP addresses doing these things every millisecond of the day. Despite this, the video shows you the conclusions so far and it is quite disturbing because it shows that you need to make about 160 unique content pages to get about 160 visitors per day in 4 1/2 months with a website similar to mine.
So, I will update again probably in 6 months to show anyone who is interested whether spiders and indexing servers are any use to us or if Twitter is still the most powerful application we have seen so far.
OK folks! It is now May 13th and you can see there is a new winner to this website. More traffic is now coming from the search engine you see at the end. This website at this stage is over 6 months old and has over 200 pages of unique content. I never asked for backlinks and never paid for them. Here are the results. Hope it helps you understand what is involved in 2012.

The Jonas Brothers have paid tribute to the late John Lennon on the anniversary of his birthday.
The 'Burnin' Up' trio posted a video remembrance of the former Beatle on YouTube and praised his influence on pop music.
"We grew up listening to The Beatles in our home, John Lennon specifically. And his words, and his lyrics, and his music spoke to many generations of people and continue to," Nick Jonas said.
He continued: "It's his birthday, so happy birthday John. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for the music.
"And thanks for showing the world that it's time to come together and live in peace. You're the man."
Lennon's wife Yoko Ono also recorded a video message in honour of her late husband's 70th birthday.

text: This was the description of Villa Cimbrone given in summer 1835 by the German traveller Gregorovius, who was in no doubt about the charms and magic of this place. The Villa and its wonderful grounds, which have been compared to the "Gardens of Armida amongst the roses and the hydrangeas", have remote origins that are intermingled with the history of Ravello itself. Early archive documents from the eleventh century tell us that the Villa was built on a headland of a vast estate called "Cimbronium", from which it got its name. The current complex at Villa Cimbrone, consisting of the main building and the centuries-old six hectare park, is universally recognized as one of the most important sites – in landscaping and botanical terms – produced by the English romantic culture in the Mediterranean area in the late 19th and early 20th century.

A friend sent me a CD recently and asked me to have a look at the booklet.
The CD was a remix of Paula Tsui's songs. In the booklet, Chet Lam described Paula as a respectable singer who insisted to do her own music with little regard to the trend.
The analogy I immediately recalled was Franz Schubert. A prolific composer who wrote almost a thousand pieces before he died at 32, Schubert was unfortunately not very much treasured during his days. The audience then favored 'grand' pieces, and his romantic style was too soft for their taste. Several decades after his death, his works became increasingly popular. Of course, similar stories are just all too common among artists. When people become history, we can finally filter out the influence of trend and see their true worth.
To sidetrack a bit, Schubert's works were also mentioned in Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami. In one scene, Oshima talked about Schubert's Piano Sonata in D.
"It's a tough piece to master. Some pianists can play one or maybe two of the movements perfectly, but if you listen to all four movements as a unified whole, no one has ever nailed it. A lot of famous pianists have tried to rise to the challenge, but it's like there's always something missing. There's never one where you can say, 'Yes! He's got it!' Do you know why?"
"No," I reply.
"Because the sonata itself is imperfect. Robert Schumann understood Schubert's sonatas well, and he labeled this one 'Heavenly Tedious'."
"If the composition's imperfect, why would so many pianists try to master it?"
"Good question," Oshima says, and pauses as music fills in the silence. "I have no great explanation for it, but one thing I can say. Works that have a certain imperfection to them have an appeal for that very reason – or at least they appeal to certain types of people. Just like you're attracted to Soseki's The Miner. There's something in it that draws you in, more than more fully realized novels like Kokoro or Sanshiro. You discover something about that work that tugs at your heart – or maybe we should say the work discovers you. Schubert's Sonata in D Major is sort of the same thing."
I knew Schubert's sonata was not popular but did not know it was imperfect. I knew what I was doing was imperfect but did not know it was not popular. In any case, I will continue to do what I think is right. And thanks for the CD.

I've never seen this guy before - but loving him so far.
I've never seen this guy before - but loving him so far.
No one should have to dance backwards for all of their life.
I've never seen him before, but he reminded me of someone. I realized today that he reminds me of Jonathan Penner, from Survivor.
I don't see it (a resemblance to Penner) Maybe it's because I've been watching Ingo on GH since he first was cast on the show.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
I do not watch GH, but this guy is interesting to watch. I am not trying to be mean, but what did Kym do to her face? She is one of the most beautiful woman, and something does not look right.
Love Jax. Love Ingo. That man is just a ball of yum! I hope he goes far!
Boob Wrinkles - it is not a myth
He actually looks like Jonathan Penner with a little bit of Bradley Cooper thrown in.

At the last weeks of the season, you can easily find outdoor furniture clearance sales. When patio furniture producer create new goods and models, it is also common to find outdoor furniture clearance sales. At clearance sales, there are all ranges of outdoor furniture accessible. For the price of a solitary table or some chairs, buying the whole sets of outdoor furniture is ideal during outdoor patio furniture clearance sales.
Seasonal clearance event
Consider waiting for seasonal outdoor patio furniture clearance sales so you can choose a certain style or color. Almost the end of summer is when the first clearance sales start. You can wait until mid-fall for much lower prices. New furniture and items will arrive so stores try to drain their stock and prices start to fall more. You can find whole sets, table umbrellas, swings, tables, and all kinds of patio chairs and cushions during seasonal outdoor furniture sales. The following spring or summer is the time you can use the outdoor furniture bought.
Remember return policies
When buying any outdoor patio furniture clearance, store's return policy is the one to keep an eye. A store's return policy may not include some pieces or there may be shorter return period than the normal priced furniture.
Consider obsolete models
Compared to other outdoor furniture, stores offer much cheaper obsolete outdoor furniture. New models and styles of outdoor furniture are restocked and stores need to clear out space. Make sure you buy whole sets or pieces during outdoor patio furniture clearance so you can easily be matched to other outdoor furniture sets when buying obsolete outdoor furniture. This furniture will be hard to find the precise color and model.
Understand warranties
There may be limited or absent warranties with outdoor patio furniture clearance. The clearance products limited warranty may not cover pre-offered break or missing pieces. So, before buying the outdoor furniture, make sure you check it carefully.

We love March 14th. For the last couple of years people have been making a big deal about Pi Day, which we like because it gives us an excuse to eat pie for dessert, dietary restrictions be damned. (Or breakfast. It's good to eat heavier calories earlier in the day, after all.) But more importantly, there's another holiday on March 14th that we've been celebrating for a few years longer. It's Steak and BJ Day, dudes!
Every March 14th is when men get their own version of Valentine's Day. It falls a month after Valentine's Day, so it's easier to remember. Instead of a nice dinner and roses, or teddy bears and chocolate, or whatever a woman in a relationship wants, the men get what is probably the best present you could give your average stereotypical Dude: a steak and a blowjob.
"If a man makes his woman feel special on Valentine's Day, then she will make him feel special one month later," says the original official website of Steak and BJ Day. Some women really hate that there's a specific day for this, but you could always show them a good time, do everything they want in bed on Valentine's Day, and encourage them to give you the sequel just a month later. For those men and women who each find Valentine's Day to be a high-pressure holiday that often ends in disappointment, we think it's a great idea to start using it along with Steak and BJ Day as two chances to treat each other right.
If you're a vegetarian, you can still enjoy a veggie burger and a BJ, or maybe just the BJ. Yeah, we'd probably just skip ahead to the blowjob if we were you, because it's really the central part of this celebration, and somehow a veggie burger just doesn't seem that decadent. But if that's your jam, dude, then more power to you.
On this March 14th, enjoy a filet before or after your fellatio!Back

Parkland Hospital In Dallas, Texas, cheating the Federal Govt and providing Substandard Care to Indigent! Dallas, Texas
*Consumer Comment: Get over yourself
*Consumer Comment: I'm just curious....
*Consumer Comment: Sigh
*Consumer Comment: comments
*Author of original report: YOU ARE THE IDIOT
*Consumer Comment: Idiot
I was directed to urgent care where I waited in a huge waiting area for 12 hours until I was finally called back to see a doctor. I had terrible neck pains and a high fever and my neck was clearly swollen. I never got to see a doctor. It appeared they only had one on duty in their entire urgent care where hundreds of people come each day.
I was prescribed medication without really any sort of checkup and told if I do t get better to see my PCP. Well, I did not get better. I got worse. Much worse. So I decided to sign up for their health insurance plan. [continued below]....
He was with me less than 1 minute.
I know that wasn't a good evaluation.
I've never been with any physician in my life for less than one minute. I just wonder how much the federal government is reimbursing the physicians for these visits. The doctor simply didn't give a d**n.
He prescribed some amoxillin and told me to see my PCP. Unbelievable.
I had waited 13 hours for a one minute (less than one minute actually) doctors visit.
I can tell you Parkland hospital is providing substandard care. They won't use any of their X-ray machines, etc. to adequately try to see what's going on with you unless you come in on a gurney.
These Texas doctors and medical establishments suck. They are greedy bastards ALL. All trying to get rich. Overcharging on all procedures. Cheating the federal government and Medicaid and Medicare. Texas is full if these little pop up "for profit" places where they do 5000% markup on all their services, etc.
These doctors LIE. They care nothing about serving the sick. They only care about serving themselves. May God have mercy on such a cold hearted ruthless money hungry state.
To all the evil Republicons who will try to evicerate me I will say profit should not be in the healthcare system. What good is a state of the art healthcare system if a third of the people in this country can't access it and are being left to DIE? The emergency rooms won't check for cancer or other life threatening diseases. They will only help if you are on your deathbed right then and there.

Get over yourself
AUTHOR: Stacey - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 28, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, May 28, 2014
Parkland could care less about what color you are - they are a TRAUMA hospital!!! I had to wait with a BLACK friend of mine there when she was suffering from gallstones and we were not seen for 12 hours! If you visit an ER with a cold, fever, sore throat etc etc you are going to have to WAIT! During our wait, one burn victim was airlifted in, lots of stabbings and gun shot victims came through and police bringing in people they had arrested for treatment. Grow up - Texas is about as racist as any other state. Stop the race card crap - it is getting real old

SUBMITTED: Saturday, August 10, 2013POSTED: Saturday, August 10, 2013
Apparently you are not dead, so I am wondering what was the problem? Was it a sore throat perhaps? Just maybe the Dr can look in your throat and knows what a sore throat looks like.
I'm also curious how you have money to buy a computer and pay for internet service to post this comment?
As a tax payer, it amazes me to see people that can afford a cell phone, cable TV, Internet, and go to restaurants two or three times a week, then call themselves too poor to afford insurance.
The problem with most people is they don't want to afford healthcare insurance. Instead of paying $200 a month for insurance, you'd rather spend it on luxury items, it's not like you'll ever get sick anyway....
You went to the hospital, you saw a Dr, you didn't pay a penny, and you're still crying. If you had been having a heart attack, or been shot, they would have done what it takes to fix you up and you know they would have. You had a sore throat, you saw a DR and are pissed because you spent a few hours in the waiting room while they took care of people that were in need of more urgent care.
What is wrong with people that think they should sit on their butts and expect others to cater to their every desire. You lost all respect from me when you called Repubicans republicCONs. Really? You obviously hate people that won't give you a handout. The sad thing is there are millions just like you screaming racism and everything else trying to get something for free. If you spent as much energy trying to better yourself, you might become an asset to this country instead of a liability.

Unfortunately, u're missing the point. I too am a part of the Parkland program atheirs not easy to navigate. When thou sign up for the program, they don't tell you that it will be 6 or 8 months before you -- as a new patient -- can be seen for the very first time.
Then when you're sick and call in to make an appointment, that's when they tell you -- at least this happened in my case. I suffer from severe asthma and explained this when I called in february to make my appointment. I was essentially told 'that's too bad, you still have to wait. Otherwise you have to go to parkland ER. I have NO income and dont get unemployment or any other kind of financial assistance (which is why i was approved for the program). So why go to ER and make a bill I can't pay? I can barely scrape together money for the clinic visit. Where would I get he extra money to pay the bill? The person the phone said: well just have 'em bill you later?'
Really? And when the bill comes how will I pay it? Since getting on the hospital program in january i havent been abke to find work.
Is Parkland or Dallas County hoping that by making it a long wait that people will just die?
I know that people with and without insurance have to wait long hours to be seen at Parkland. The problem is, this shouldnt be the case, period!!! No one should have to wait 10 or 12 hours to seen, let alone 6 to 8 months. The system needs to be fixed for everyone.
Hopefully, I'll eventually get the medical treatment I need, that is if I don't die before then.

Stacey is right, and the OP's post reflects one of the many things wrong with our health care system. Yes, the wait in the ER is long, because it takes time to evaluate the true emergencies that come in: gunshots, heart attacks, strokes, etc. And the problem isn't limited to Texas, or the uninsured. My mother has excellent insurance and when I took her to the hospital when she had a stroke there was STILL a wait. I have no insurance and my doctors all require payment at the time of service.
I just read a report from Princeton college that stated their was a high degree of bias medical doctors held towards blacks.
I had occasion to use an ER once when I thought I had appendicitis. The waiting room was packed, and the patients were predominately black. This was a racially diverse community with only one hospital. A few minutes after I arrived, a teenage girl arrived and she was obviously in greater distress than I or anyone else in the room. She was crying and vomiting. We were the only two white women in the room. We both waited over 8 hours while all the others were seen. I was extremely pissed because the majority of them seemed to have arrived in groups and they were eating McDonalds, talking and laughing and not a single one of them appeared to be ill. I can only assume they used the ER because they had no insurance or couldn't afford to go to the urgent care or a doctor. So perhaps the biased doctors you refer to have had experience with black patients who utilize the ER unnecessarily.
To the OP: sounds like strep (but I am not a doctor). There is no reason to suspect a thyroid problem when you present with a fever that indicates infection. It takes all of two seconds for a doctor to look in your throat, see the white crap in the back and declare strep or tonsillitis. What did it turn out to be?
BTW: next time you are demanding a medical test, think about how much it costs to purchase and maintain that equipment, pay the techs who operate them, the radiologist or pathologist who has to interpret the results, the ER doc who treats you, the nurses who provide hands-on care, the admin staff, and janitorial staff, etc. It's not cheap! I think the doctors are right to avoid unnecessary tests and procedures.

Maybe that's it.
And for your information Parkland has an URGENT CARE CLINIC that serves as a doctors office. It is TOTALLY SEPARATED from the emergency room. They get reimbursed by the county AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for providing medical treatment to the poor.
And yes the wait was 13 hours. It stays packed.
But again by point STILL STANDS which is I didn't get GOOD CARE. So YOU SIR are the IDIOT!
You know this is Texas which is known for racism. Instead of working hard to correct this you redneck idiots scream "just leave" all the d**n time. Why not scream for once "stay and fight! Make it fair".
You dumb imbecile.

I lost my job after 13 1/2 years and my insurance yet my Physician works with me. There are lots of clinics in the Dallas Area that treat low cost/uninsured people just do a search! You b***h about the wait time - maybe it was because the DRs were treating a heart attack victim, a person who was burned or shot. Parkland is NON profit therefore is paid with the taxes of people like ME!! How do you in this day and age think you were left to DIE because you had strep???? Any Hospital will admit you regardless of your lack of insurance - it is the LAW!
If you HATE all the DRs in the area then MOVE!!

The first thing I was proud of today was how well Toad and I did in our ride/lesson today. I was pretty worried about our ride because after Sunny took down the gate at the end of the arena all that is there now is a board at about my chest level. Which leaves lots of room for the barn dogs to come tearing into the arena when they're playing (which luckily they did not do today). Plus, Toad had not seen the change in gate-idge so I was worried about her being spooky. All in all I was being a Thoroughbred myself.
Trainer K. did her usual training routine (which lately has been focused a lot on Toad softening her jaw which she is resisting) then it was my turn to ride. I heard Trainer K. say to Toad as she was dismounting, "Ok, now it's your mom's turn to ride," and my stomach just got all tied up in knots. I don't know why because our last ride a few days ago was fine. I think it's just my weird head after not riding her for 5 weeks after falling off. So, I put in the trusting security-blanket eventing vest just in case she spooked and I fell off again and hopped on up. As soon as I was up on her my first thought was, "I'm freaking out. How do I get out of this without admitting I've psyched myself up and I'm freaking out?" But as soon as I thought that I realized that if I got off her before my lesson was over then it would be a hundred times harder to get back on her.
So, I decided to focus on the stuff I learned last week in Beth Glosten's clinic and Trainer K. told me about "bracing my shoulder blades down" (I think that's how she phrased it - I can do the movement I just can't remember the exact phrasing). Anyway, I did that and was very cognisant of being centered in the saddle as opposed to my tendency to slide to the right and Toad responded very well. Oh yeah, and the other thing was to keep a forward center of gravity instead of my tendency (based solely on fear) to lean back whenever she starts moving. She responded really well to these small changes and was very good! We actually started out with a nice energetic walk as opposed to her usual plodding and oozing into a stop and then just standing there stubbornly. It took me a couple tries to get her trotting more than a few steps and she wasn't completely responding to my leg so I had to employ the dressage whip a couple times with some little added taps, but then she responded really well.
We got a really nice trot going and I felt really in-tune with her and like we were doing a perfect dance where we were both completely in-step! Then our farrier - who had just finished up with another client at the barn - popped his head over one of the arena gates to see how we were doing. I was sure Toad was going to freak over having someone pop up there but she barely broke a stride. She shied a little away from the gate as we passed it the first time but it was very subtle and it didn't happen when we passed it again, nor did it happen from the other direction.
From what I understand our farrier worked on her once when the teenager before me had her and back then the teenager couldn't control her at all so Trainer K. had to hold her for the vet and farrier. But even with Trainer K. holding her (and keep in mind that was all Trainer K. was allowed to do - even though she offered to help the teenager, she (the teenager) fancied herself a savant who needed no education to handle her horses ... and she doesn't - she is the expert at screwing up horses and making them supremely dangerous). Anyway, from what I understand the farrier worked on her once or maybe twice when the teenager had her and was none too happy about what a dangerous horse she was. He's praised Trainer K. and me plenty since I've had her because she's been very good for him whenever he does her feet. And I always hold her because I don't want to be reliant on someone else to have to handle my horse - and I'm nowhere near as experienced as Trainer K. so he's commented on how impressed he is that she has calmed down so much. So it felt really good when he stood there at the gate and said how great we both looked and how we looked like we were ready to be in an actual show. It wasn't so much the words he said as the tone in his voice of amazement at the good horse that Toad is turning out to be! When I finished my ride and hopped down Trainer K. was beaming and said, "That was fabulous ride!" and actually gave me a high-five! Eleven months of working with her and I actually did so well I got a high-five! Very cool! Toad actually went on the bit and relaxed and stretched her neck down and was using her core and very rounded. I think it's finally starting to click for both me and her and the result is just great!
Another thing I'm proud of is that my daughter got her ears pierced a few weeks ago and I have not even once had to wash them for her. She has a chart she keeps in the bathroom and marks off every time she cleans them - which is ideally three times a day for six weeks. She doesn't always make it three times a day anymore but she definitely does two. And I'm happy to say that about three weeks in and her ears are healing up very nicely. I realized this evening that is all her doing since I have not once had to do it for her.
And I have the best pitbull in the world. Once again, while waiting for my daughter's camp to end I took the pitbull to the off-leash area at Medina Park for a bit. She was being a very good girl, although she was trying to steal some poor lab's tennis ball. The lab's owner asked me what kind of dog she was and when I told her pitbull she asked if I ever ran into any problems with people pre-judging her. I said I did and it was irritating but it was still worth it to have such a good dog. And it was nice that Willow was showing her true, gentle colors. The lab's owner said Willow had a "sweet baby face". It's always nice to meet people who see Willow for who she is - not just their preconceived notion of a "monster" like they think pitbulls are.
My weird story of the day - which I had to text to my neighbor who can't stand this guy either - is this: There is a very sketchy ice cream man who comes to our neighborhood frequently in summer and the kids are no longer allowed to buy ice cream from him because he drives a big van as opposed to an ice cream truck, and he told my neighbor once that he "sells a lot more than ice cream" and whipped out some ipods and cell phones that were dubious in their origin (ie: it's not like he had one of those "certified Apple retailers" signs going on). So this afternoon I'm waiting to cross the street to go to the park and I see him driving down the street and think, "Good god! What is crack-dealer ice cream guy doing her?" then he slows down and rolls down his window and I think "Good god, why does crack-dealer ice cream guy want to talk to me? Crap!" He stops in front of me and asked, "Where is Bill Gate's house?" to which I guess I couldn't believe he really asked that so I said, "What?" and he asked again, "Where is Bill Gates house?" and I couldn't help it, I looked at him like he was insane (because at that moment I thought he was) and said, "I have no idea. And if I did why would I tell you?" and he drove off. Now the kids are REALLY not buying ice cream from him. I couldn't help but wonder if he's just a weird stalker-type fan of Bill Gates or if he had some other sort of nefarious plot going on. I'm awfully glad I'm not famous. How horrible that would be.

Man pleads guilty to attempted robbery, sentenced to probation
URBANA — A Champaign man who admitted trying to rob a fast food restaurant employee was sentenced Monday to 30 months of probation.
Antonio M. Gibson, 40, who listed an address in the 1600 block of Sheffield Road, pleaded guilty Monday to attempted robbery for trying to rob an employee of the Hardee's, 1806 W. Bradley Ave., C, on Jan. 19.
Assistant State's Attorney Troy Lozar said Gibson entered the restaurant about 5:15 a.m. that day and placed an order. When the employee turned her back to put in the order, Gibson pulled a gun and told her to "give it to me."
The clerk then walked in the back to get his food and he left the restaurant without getting any money.
Lozar said the clerk was the only person who could identify Gibson as the person with the gun and she did not get in contact with his office before Monday's scheduled trial, despite having been served with a subpoena to testify.
Because of that, Lozar said he negotiated a plea to the less serious offense with Gibson's attorney, Assistant State's Attorney Jamie Propps.
Lozar said he believed Gibson had a BB gun.
"We never did find a real gun. He never got anything, never hurt anyone or never fired (in the restaurant)," he said.
Gibson had prior convictions for theft, criminal trespass, and failure to return from furlough.
Gibson was also sentenced to 93 days in the county jail but given credit for time served.

Fiddlestick's E is one of the pest support pokes in the game providing high damage and a silence. Because of this many people try to max that out first but I find that just getting it to rank two is just fine early game and falls off in team fights when things really get going. What I do is max his Q out first for his fear which can stop ganks from the opposing jungler and secure kills for your adc.
Next I max out his drain because it gives him greater sustain in lane and a better source of damage then a single E and some basic attacks along with providing greater sustain. Maxing drain after fear also means you wont be completely useless without your adc.
Of course get his ult when you can an always try to gank from bushes. With fiddle support you should be able to get a double kill or two assists when you turn level 6.

Kimoto's Gravity Well
Kimoto's Gravity Well is a common method for difficulty readjustment in cryptocurrency mining. It was first implemented by Megacoin and named after that coin's lead developer. It was designed to solve problems caused by multipool mining.
Multipools are mining collectives which automatically switch to mining whichever cryptocurrency is the most profitable. The problem with this is that when a multipool targets a coin the increase in hashing power makes the difficulty soar, which in turn makes profitability of mining crash. The multipool then moves on to the next target and the network is left struggling to find miners to keep maintaining the network with the new high rate of difficult. Kimoto's Gravity Well algorithm allows difficulty to be readjusted every block, meaning that it can respond to both increases and decreases in hashing power immediately and keep the difficulty level at an appropriate level.« Back to Glossary Index

Big end-of-season NRL games are traditionally won by big name players but skipper Paul Gallen believes Cronulla's lack of a superstar will actually hold them in good stead.
Alongside Sydney Roosters, Cronulla have emerged as the competition's form side a month out from the play-offs.
After a horror 0-4 start, the Sharks count two wins over the Roosters, two wins over North Queensland and one from one against South Sydney among their scalps for season 2015 so far.
As the Roosters look to bank on the likes of Blake Ferguson in September, the Cowboys of course have Johnathan Thurston in their ranks and Greg Inglis is capable of turning a match on its head for the Rabbitohs.
But Gallen says the Sharks will have to rely more on a total team effort.
"We don't have a superstar to get us out of trouble like a Thurston or an Inglis," Gallen said on Friday.
"We've got 17 guys that need to play to our potential every week and if we do that we'll win.
"We've got belief, we've had belief all year because we've worked hard in the pre-season. Physically we're good, mentally we're in a good spot, we just know if we perform to our potential each week we'll win probably all our games.
"The last thing we want is to let our mates down, no one here wants that."
The reigning wooden spooners can cement a finals spot with a win over Melbourne at Remondis Stadium on Monday night.
A victory will put them in fifth, behind Souths on percentages, with three games to play in the regular season.
Hope is growing in the Shire that the Sharks could finally end their premiership drought but Gallen is keen to put a lid on any expectation.
"It's good that people around here are excited but we have to tone it down," Gallen said.
"When you look at the last couple of years, we made the semis two out of the last three years but everyone remembers last year was pretty ordinary.
"But we've done nothing yet, mate, if we were to lose every game from here on in we wouldn't even make the semis so we've done nothing."

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Former Johns Creek City Councilwoman Kelly Stewart has announced she will run for the vacant House District 50 seat in the Georgia General Assembly.
Incumbent Brad Raffensperger has already said he will not seek re-election to that office and will instead run for Georgia Secretary of State.
Stewart and Raffensperger had both been re-elected to their respective City Council seats in 2013 when the District 50 House seat became vacant after Gov. Nathan Deal appointed the incumbent Lynne Riley to be his commissioner of Revenue.
Stewart and Raffensperger resigned their council seats to run for Riley's seat, and Raffensperger won. Now Stewart, a Johns Creek resident, is again seeking the District 50 post.
Stewart said she is getting into this race because she wants to serve her city and the district again.
"I want to make sure our values are represented at the State House," she said. "And I believe I am the best candidate to do that."
She said has had plenty of political experience – serving on the City Council and taking on roles in all levels of the government.
"I think you have look at the confidence the city of Johns Creek has placed in me to serve in the past," she said. "That includes serving as mayor pro tem. I think it is important to support someone who has conservative values who will work on the issues that are important to Johns Creek."
Those issues include taxes, public safety, education and transportation.
"These are the things that affect our daily lives. And I think that I am the best to do that," she said. "Experience counts. Part of being successful in office has to do with being able to work with people and to have networks of people. I have a great network of people behind me and supporting me."
She said she understands how the processes of government work.
"I'm not new to this."
Looking down the road at the issues facing the state, Stewart said one issue jumps out most.
"I want Georgia to remain a state that attracts businesses. We want Georgia to have a very good business climate – a situation where people and businesses can come in knowing we have great education, great universities and a skilled work force."
The state needs to maintain attractive tax rates. And good transportation is key to success also, she said.
These are the building blocks that create the environment in which new and established businesses can thrive.
"We have to provide a top-flight transportation system throughout the state. It is important that we can move throughout the state in all modes of transportation."
The issues are those that affect quality of life – public safety especially, she said. Stewart said her grandfather was a sheriff and an uncle was a police officer – both were killed in the line of duty.
"So public safety is something near and dear to me," she said.
Stewart said she wants reforms for the property assessment process that is a "broken system."
"I think taxing people out of their homes is unconscionable. We need someone who will stand up for the people," she said. "But I am not someone who wants to go down there just to raise a ruckus. I am going down there to serve Johns Creek and the 50th District.'
Stewart said in her career she has worked at all levels of government – local, state and federal.
She said she has positions on Capitol Hill in the U.S. House of Representatives; and in the state level in the University System of Georgia.
She was the first president of the Buckhead Republican Women and she received a citation from the governor for her volunteer work in Junior Achievement as well as a commendation for Georgia's work in Christians United For Israel.
