How Often Does Google Crawl You?
- 12 Comment
As niche blogs become even more popular, the reliance on google for bloggers is at a new and different high. Much of the traffic for certain niche blogs come from search engines, mainly google. So when (and how much) does google crawl you?
SeoMeter
Add your website to SeoMeter, and start to keep track of search engine’s crawling!
SeoMeter allows you to monitor when search engine’s crawl your website or blog. Getting listed is free and the tool records in the database how often you get crawled.
You can see on our badge that our CC or crawl cycle is .9. The CC is the time between two consecutive crawls done by search engine robots. So if our crawl cycle was 1, that means we get crawled once a day.
You can also notice our rank, which I thought was pretty cool. You can check out the top 20 websites in blogging. Looks like we are in the top 5.
Why Does this Matter?
SeoMeter puts it simply and states that this
“allows webmasters to monitor their website’ crawling activities, and to collate crawling trend against their ongoing marketing campaign and other SEO strategies.”
However, I’m just more fascinated on graphs and how much the trends change over time. This gives you different things to check your experiments. Maybe you start posting more or less. It could affect your search engine referrals.
What determines search engine’s crawl rate is best outlined at the SEOmeter blog. The factors include content updates, pinging, sitemap, robots.txt and server speed.

This is an awesome tool, thanks for sharing with us. I have already noticed though that Google seems to index my new posts within 24 hours or so, even though I only post once a week and have a very low pagerank.
But I’m definitely going to check this thing out!

Hmmmm. I am curious how often Google is crawling my blog pages, I totally rebuilt my main website this week and google still is showing the results of the previous pages? Is there an industry average number of days? Check out my page, I’d love your input!
