It comes in two editions:repparttar 118459 free Limited edition andrepparttar 118460 Standard edition which costs $12.95. You can get Robogen from http://www.rietta.com/robogen/.

In this article, I'll tell how you can use Robogen to simplifyrepparttar 118461 process of creating a robots.txt file. This article assumes that you have read my article on what a robots.txt file is and how you can manually create it. If you missedrepparttar 118462 article, it is available at http://www.1stSearchRanking.com/t.cgi?4901&robots.htm

I would recommend that you downloadrepparttar 118463 trial version ofrepparttar 118464 Standard Edition. The Limited edition does not support as many search engines asrepparttar 118465 Standard Edition.

Once you have downloaded Robogen and installed it in your hard drive, startrepparttar 118466 program. Here arerepparttar 118467 steps that you should follow to create a robots.txt file:

Step 1: Click onrepparttar 118468 Logon FTP Server button. Inrepparttar 118469 dialog box that appears, type inrepparttar 118470 address ofrepparttar 118471 FTP server for your web site, make sure thatrepparttar 118472 "This server requires me to log in" option is checked, and then type inrepparttar 118473 username andrepparttar 118474 password which you use to accessrepparttar 118475 server inrepparttar 118476 appropriate boxes.

Now, depending on how your web host has set uprepparttar 118477 server,repparttar 118478 files for your web site may be present inrepparttar 118479 root directory ofrepparttar 118480 server itself. Or, it may be present in a sub-directory ofrepparttar 118481 root directory. Inrepparttar 118482 latter case, click onrepparttar 118483 "Use specified root" option and typerepparttar 118484 relevant sub-directory inrepparttar 118485 text box besidesrepparttar 118486 option. If you don't know in which sub-directoryrepparttar 118487 files for your web site are present, ask your web host to give it to you.

Done? Now click on OK. After a while, Robogen will displayrepparttar 118488 directories and files which are present in your site inrepparttar 118489 right pane ofrepparttar 118490 main Robogen program window. If you find that Robogen has not displayedrepparttar 118491 files in your site, it means that you did not enterrepparttar 118492 correct sub-directory in whichrepparttar 118493 files of your web site are present. In this case, ask you web host to giverepparttar 118494 correct sub-directory to you.

Wake Up... Homer Simpson!

Written by Gary Durkin


It amazed me way back, and it still amazes me today. Just how many Homer Simpsons there are onrepparttar internet.

Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘The Simpsons’.

I’ve been responsible for a few ‘Homer-isms’ in my time, especially after I’ve had a few Duff Beers!

But nothing torepparttar 118458 extent I have seen online (and off) overrepparttar 118459 years….. and I’ve seen a lot believe me.

Only today, I was with some friends andrepparttar 118460 conversation moved to ‘making money’ (as it does!). One of them announced that he had just invested in a fantastic scheme onrepparttar 118461 internet, which said he would make over $50,000 in next to no time, with a simple investment of just $250 – and he had absolutely nothing to do.

Some of you will be thinking, “Yeah, that’s sounds similar torepparttar 118462 one I am with”…. Others will be thinking “IDIOT! Not possible”

For those who think it’s a good deal - you are HOMER SIMPSON.

For those who think it sounds like something you’re in – HOMER!!

For those who think he’s an idiot for getting involved – you’re Lisa Simpson.

The truth is,repparttar 118463 internet holds no ‘magic bullets’. No secret ways of making a fortune, without doing anything or paying a dime.

If you think you CAN make a fortune, by doing nothing and spending nothing, then you really are Homer Simpson…... D’oh!

MTYH – “anyone can make a fortune online”

FACT – most people trying to make money, don’t. They get sucked in to silly schemes just likerepparttar 118464 one above, and get nowhere.

MYTH – “there are 500 Million people looking to buy online”

FACT – there are probably half a billion people with internet access, but they all don’t use it, they all certainly don’t want to buy things.

MYTH – “you don’t need to spend a dime to make money”

FACT – yes you do. Not necessarily tens of thousands of dollars, but to be successful, you do need to spend even just a little.

MYTH – “once I’m in, I don’t do any work to make a fortune”

FACT – I can tell you for sure, that some ofrepparttar 118465 biggest names around still spend upwards of 14 hours a day working to be successful online.

The truth sometimes hurts. You do need to work to earn. You do need to invest a little time and money to reaprepparttar 118466 rewards.
