Controlling Googlebot crawls

For some Google crawls too often which comsumes too much bandwidth. For others it visits too infreqently. Some complain that it doesn't visit their entire site and others get upset when areas that they didn't want accessible via search engines appear on the Google index. It is not really possible to attract robots. Google
will visit your site often if the site has good content that is updated often and is mentioned by other sites. However it is possible to deter robots. You can control both the pages that Googlebot crawls and request reduction in the frequency or depth of each crawl.

How quickly you can expect to be crawled

There are no firm guarantees as to how quickly new sites or web pages will be crawled by Google and then appear in the search index. However , following one of the four actions above, you would normally expect to be crawled within a month and then see your pages appear in the index two or three weeks afterwards.

3 Sign up to google webmaster tools , here it verifies your site and submit a sitemap.

Do not covet your ideas.

Give away everything you know and more will come back to you. I firmly believe in that. On this basis I setup this web site. I like to share my knowledge I have learnt over the years in Hedge Funds, Stock Broking and Investment Banking.

From school I remember students preventing you from seeing their answers by placing their arm around their excercise book or exam papers.

It is the same at work, people are secretive with ideas. "Don't tell them that, they'll take the credit for it".

The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you'll become stale.
