A new reason to keep your profile up-to-date...

Hi everyone,

I've spent the last couple of weeks writing search engine software now that we've got over 100 SpaceNode websites online. The old solution we had was a bit slow – especially when it hit TheAMT.com's forum archive which itself is about 12,000 pages!

All of this work is relevant to AMT practitioners and trainers because a new feature has allowed me to place a `search box' at the top of all membership listings, eg:

http://theamt.com/practitioners/

The search engine looks at all text on your members profile, including your location and profile description. This means that you should always make sure your profile mentions all your qualifications, specialist areas, areas of expertise, etc as this is picked up by the SpaceNode Spider.

Example 1 - A visitor is looking for help with quitting smoking will find a suitable practitioner…

http://theamt.com/members/search/?query=smoking&submit=Directory+Search

Example 2 – A visitor is looking for a childbirth specialist…

http://theamt.com/members/search/?query=childbirth&submit=Search

To update your profile description you can either:

1) Contact Rachel and ask her to update it for you http://TheAMT.com/contact/
2) Contact Rachel and ask for your password and then update it yourself (by logging in top-right of the page)
3) Update it yourself if you already know your username & password – it's the same you'd use over at DragonRising.com. Just login to your profile page

I'm quite excited about our SpaceNode Spider and SpaceNode SearchEngine combination as they allow us to become our very own Google of meridian energy therapies.

We will shortly be emailing all SpaceNode owners to say how they can do the same for their websites to help their visitors find what they are looking for quicker.

Best wishes,

Alex
