My Crawl Rate - Google crawls only if you have new content.

SEO | Written by Ahson Rafiq on 26 January 2008 - Tags:


A week ago i reviewed SEOMeter and at the same time i added my own blog to it well i got the results now:

At the time i added my blog there were around 3-5 new posts everyday which justifies the really high start off point right after i decided i’ll be the only one blogging on this blog from now on since i have more time now.

Google doesn’t crawl depending on your backlinks and/or authority as far as i’m concerned its either the crawlable links on the frontpage or the rss feed that pings google and lets it know for the new posts.Either way this blog is doing pretty great!

    Do you recommend this service for established blogs only, or also for new/fresh blogs?

    This is one of the reasons why adding fresh new content is very important. Although after a while I do admit that the frequency of new post in my sites tend to go down.

    In an earlier article of yours you were saying quality over quantity. But to me, because of this it seems you should try to post articles everyday, but also make then quality articles.

    I’ve noticed this on websites as well. I had a bit of hard times and let my site go from updates as much as I used to, and I noticed the crawl rate went down. I have since got back on track and the crawl rate has gone up again.
