Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Fascinating and the robot-itization of the web has implications for website design and conversion. Here is how to make sure your website "appeals" to the good bots:

* Avoid "Spider Traps" Where Bots Go In, But They Don't Come Out.

* Pay attention to your DIVs (feed the spider differently than the way the page appears to visitor, same content just different order and use "read more" inline teases to hide too many words).
