Alot of Webmasters may not know this, but you can control how often your site gets search. You may want to change this rate depending on how often you update. Also there are some other factors you might want to consider.
Perquisites
- Have a working website with access to the index page or ftp to the root of the host
- a Google account.
First step:
Navigate over to http://google.com/webmasters/tools and log in
Second step:
Add your site to your account
Third step:
Verify your account by adding a meta tag to your index page, or uploading a .html to the root of your web host
Once you're all verified which literally takes seconds you'll have access to a few different tools
The Crawl rate link is the one we're going to go over soo
Final step:
Change the rate.
Tada! Have fun, hopefully this is useful to those out there that feel Googlebot never comes around
(actual results from using webmaster tools)
*note
Be sure you have enough bandwidth to take Google crawling your site multiple times a week. Bare in mind that Google downloads from your site and if you have large files can eat up a lot of bw
