and they (google) came a calling...

In my last post I mentioned that we released a subset of our product database to the search engines. When I say "released" I mean provided links to, as well as, a sitemap.

We've been watching the bots crawl all over us.

If you want to know who's winning the search wars, look no further than our daily crawl stats. Google discovered us quickly and began crawling immediately. Yahoo too discovered us quickly, but their crawl rate is run 10% to 20% that of Google per day. Live (aka MSN) still hasn't figured out (or care) that our site links have expanded from about 10 to 22,000...

Interesting and telling.
