my web statistics tells me which engines I'm getting what search phrase traffic from.

wouldn't it be far easier a load on the search engines if I were only querying each engine for those phrases I know that I've placed? keeping in mind that 'easier on the engines' has to translate to less chance of getting blocked by an engine for over-analysing postion. which in turn should lead to better overall relations between the engines and the analysts, no?

a real win-win-win.

anyway, there doesn't seem to be a way to instruct AWR (on the fly) to check 'this phrase list' on 'this engine', or some such approach that could send the application out on these micro-missions.

this would allow us all to be better engine citizens and reduce the time and cost of producing our deliverables, which is more profit for less work, and happier clients sooner, and...
