Detecting Users Online using PHP
After recently having seen a way of showing the number of people currently visiting your site by recording IP address I thought I'd demonstrate my own way of doing it that also includes the ability to show which users online, and number of users/guests online.
Promoting your site
SEO is a curse to some who see it as a method of spamming or deceiving search engines to favour your site. This should not be the case, search engine optimisation should consist of making sure you have good, well marked content that has links inbound and outbound.

Robots and Spiders
For the majority of websites, a robot or spider (both technically the same) will crawl your site almost daily, whether it be from Google, MSN, Yahoo, or some other search engine such as Alexa. Sometimes you don't want all your pages, or your images to be indexed. This guide covers that and more.
Being Social
Today the web is all about being social, and by this I mean social networking. It is how the web today is moving, and communities are growing from it. This guide shows how to integrate things such as tag clouds and blog rolls on your site.
