I'm considering adding some sort of web site performance monitoring tool/service. Any recommendations? Also, does anyone routinely go through your sites to make sure everything works properly (contact us form, test orders, chat, etc.)?

Webdev, of course you want to configure your website so it's optimized for all major search engines. Each major search engine has their own way of sending a bot to query your website. For instance, Google, you go to http://www.google.com/addurl/ ... Yahoo/Bing you'd go to http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/index.php ... Do this properly, and your site will be indexed by the various search engine bots. Think of it like ... broken links are "points against" you when it comes to search engine rankings. As far as someone going through it and manually checking each link, well, that's on you. If done right, should have no problems. If you have any broken links, it's probably an error in your includes/configure.php file.

For just various website tracking data, I would use Google Analytics: http://www.google.com/analytics/ ... I'm sure whatever it is you have in mind to monitor, Analytics will have it.

There are programs available to check the links on your site. You should do this any time you make a structural change (New site, added URL Rewriter, etc.) You should not have to do this often.

Google's Webmaster Tools are a good way to see what the search engine thinks of your site. It will show you all of the errors that Google has already found. Just remember that it takes time for the pages to be reindexed, so the errors will not go away instantly.

Hi,

Previously when u have an website u going to add in google by using http://www.google.com/addurl but now a days without adding your website search engine mite be consider. How it means? using some social networking site like facebook, twitter, linkedin, and also directory submission and classified like doing some off page activities to add our website into those link. That the thing google can easily get more backlinks from that website. Search engine can easily findout the website url.

Thankyou
tejacharu
