Knowing Search Engine Robots' Names - Beneficial to SEO's?

I was thinking about creating separate optimized webpages for each search engine robot to crawl. Creating meta tags to direct each robot to only pages that are specially optimized for that bot seems like it can be a very benificial optimization technique.

Then I wondered if it's worth researching each search engine's algorithm and creating pages specially created for each of their robots. Not to mention that some of these engines probably don't get the traffic worth aiming for.

Seems like a lot of work... (or maybe not)

Does anyone know how else a SEO can benefit from knowing each robot's names?

Here's a nice list of the Search Engine Robots from Search Engine Dictionary.

Measuring the Worth of Your Blog - Analytics Blog

Lately, I been paying close attention to how much time I invest into the Internet. All the time I spend on the Internet could be substituted with fitness activities, time with my girlfriend and friends, a paying pt-gig, etc. Currently, I am setting up routine tasks, measuring my profits and time and analyzing other variables to help me decide if pursuing personal Internet profits is worth my time.

This morning I decided that I was going to post a blog at least once a day. Didn't matter to me what I wrote about, just as long as I stayed consistent with my posting.

Coincidentally, I ran into Occam’s Razor by Avinash Kaushik a analytics blog. Author Avinash Kaushik writes about Blog Metric: Six Recommendations for Measuring Your Success.

His 1st recommendation; "Raw Author Contribution" talks about your blogging consistency & how to measure the worth of your efforts.

For me, time is money.

I haven't spent much time on this blog so I don't expect anything in return. I'm going to test out this blog by putting in some consistent time. Let's see what this blog is worth to me.
