For a more detailed index--the crawl process, here is an English document that describes the whole work of thumbshots: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january06/foulonneau/01foulonneau.html. Based on this article, the author will briefly describe the techniques of thumbshots indexing. This paper divides this index-the process of grasping into "passive mode" and "Active mode". Passive mode is a process of thumbshots robot to crawl outside chain. When a new station accumulates enough of a certain number of outside chains, the Thumbshots robot will notice the presence of the new station and crawl to the new station. But this chain of accumulation process and SEO is not the same: webmaster In doing SEO usually will be their own site links placed in the high weight of the site, and such a site must be the old site, Thumbshots prefers to crawl new station, because the new station has its database does not have thumbnails. So if you want to thumbshots crawl thumbnails to do outside the chain accumulation, it is necessary to constantly in some new stations, especially the new station on the first page on the launch link. Another so-called "active way" is to use some means to guide the robot spider. Here, we are going to do some articles on the thumbshots.org website. Thumbshots.org itself should be a non-profit site, but we see thumbshots.org has been permanently migrated to Thumbshots.com, through the thumbshots.com of some of the information learned that Thumbshots can be charged a monthly fixed fee to more New thumbnail for each URL.

After registering, you can wait for thumbshots to collect, grab thumbnails. A new station uses this technique to do, the average crawl time is 24 hours.

The method of updating old station thumbnails by Thumbshots

The new station is indexed to generate thumbnails is a relatively easy thing, below we talk about how old station is thumbshots update thumbnail. This is not an easy thing to do. According to the English literature mentioned above, one of the techniques recommended by the author is this: first, you need to understand the Thumbshots API: "Http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=***.com", where the parameter "url" The corresponding property URL is the URL of the target site thumbnail. Also, you can use this URL to view thumbnails of your site. This thumbnail image is usually not updated once it is generated. In other words, when your homepage revision, thumbnail or still keep the old version. How to update thumbnails, we start with this API. Second, access to a non-existent page, that can jump to the site 404 of the page, to join this API implementation, such as: "http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=showmeng.com/blog/." Blog This directory does not exist, when the Thumbshots database does not have this field of data description, will regenerate a home page thumbnail, when in fact the thumbnail does not change; Finally, the most important step. Thumbshots has noticed that the same site has two different thumbnails. All we have to do is update the new thumbnail to replace the original thumbnail. We can do this: the Site 301 permanent orientation, you can direct the WWW domain name to the main domain without the WWW, to generate a WWW domain name thumbnail, and then the main domain name without www to the domain name with www, Then we generate a thumbnail of the primary domain without the WWW, and after a process like this, we get two different thumbnails, and actually the two thumbnails correspond to the same page. This in Thumbshots, plus a 404 page thumbnail, actually produces two errors. These two errors need to be solved manually, that is, Thumbshots will manually determine the source and cause of the error, then delete the original thumbnail, and finally regenerate a thumbnail. And this last process is actually done by thumbshots, and of course it produces thumbnails that are the latest thumbnails.
