At the end of 1999, I started to build my first website. It was a virtual city modified by the Jianghu program that was just emerging at the time. It was called Taizhou Virtual City. In that era when there were not many websites, Taizhou Virtual City was also very popular. Later, because there was no money to maintain the cost of the server, Taicheng's source code was put on the Internet for public sale, and it was sold for tens of thousands of yuan. I became addicted to selling it, and finally even the entire website and domain name were sold. How sad it is to be a webmaster. I am used to being a webmaster, but suddenly there is no website to manage. My heart is empty. I am used to facing the computer every day, but I can't think of anything to do with the computer. As a webmaster, I am not afraid that I will not be able to remember it, but I am afraid that I will not be able to forget it!
Lost is always temporary, and webmasters still have to continue. With the last experience, next I want to make a website that can meet two requirements: 1. Low server requirements; 2. The time and energy spent on managing the website Want less. Because as a personal website, both funds and energy are limited after all, so you should tailor a website for yourself. No matter how promising the website is, if you don’t have the ability to operate it, it’s better not to start. So in 2004, I became a webmaster again, and the Maibu search engine was launched. Maibu can be run with a virtual host of 200 yuan/year, which is still the same expense until now; website management is also simple, as long as the webmasters Just submit the website information and I will review the included websites, and website management will take less time. Okay, let’s start the journey again, the prologue has already begun.
Act 1 Mab Excellent From Simple
At the beginning, Maibu was called Maibu Search Engine. The website was very simple, with only three pages, default.asp, search.asp and submit.asp, plus a database. What I didn't expect was that Maibu was accepted by many webmasters as soon as it went online. Although it didn't have much influence in the webmaster community at that time, it still achieved some success. At that time, the way to promote Maibu search engine was to write some simple ASP program source code and download it from major download sites. In this way, the program created by Maibu spread among the webmaster circles, and many webmasters were attracted by it. Come and submit your website to Maibu. The number of websites submitted every day is also increasing day by day. Now think about it, website promotion at that time was really simple, unlike now it takes so much time and energy to promote a website.
Act 2 Maibu·Personal website origin
Maibu search engine has developed very strongly. For a while, when I searched for the keyword "search engine" in Baidu, Maibu search engine ranked fourth on the first page. Coupled with Maibu's good reputation in the webmaster circle, the number of websites that come to Maibu to apply for inclusion every day once reached 700 or 800. This is difficult for me again, and I don't have the energy to review so many websites to be included. So I was lost again, there had to be a way. There was really no choice but to open the collection for a few days, then close it for a few days. Finally, in 2008, we simply stopped including new websites. Later, we directed the inclusion of new websites to the micro-page website directory. A small success can easily make people's hearts swell, and Maibu also began to transform. It was renamed Maibu Webmaster Club. With the resources accumulated in the webmaster circle, it became a webmaster site, so it built on the basis of the original search engine. On the website, columns such as Webmaster Information, Webmaster Navigation, Aggregation Network Excerpt, Source Code Yellow Pages and Online Earning Alliance have been opened. Later facts proved that I could only do simple things, and I still lacked the ability to be a webmaster. Then Maibu was submerged in many webmasters, and I couldn't even think about it. ability.
Act 3: Mab·is your Internet
Time is a thief, stealing everything. Maibu spent another two years in confusion and degradation. When he looked back and wanted to break out of the website, he found that it was already impossible. The website wants to transform, but it turns out that there are all kinds of well-known websites that you can think of on the Internet. Where to go? This is a question, a big question, a question with no answer. There is some disappointment. On the first day of 2011, I decided to stop updating the webmaster information, aggregation network excerpts, source code yellow pages, and online earning alliance columns. We focused our efforts back on search engines, reopened the inclusion of new websites, and changed the name of the website from Maibu Webmasters Association to Maibu.com.
Now when I look back and think about it, after running Maibu.com for seven years, I just went full circle and returned to the starting point. I am probably not the only webmaster in this situation. After all, personal website webmasters have their own limitations and shortcomings. The development of the website is relatively random. The webmaster is prone to self-hypnosis and psychological expansion, which ultimately leads to the failure of the website. Loss of operational direction. It’s not easy to be the webmaster of a personal website!
