Derleek Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Is there a way to get a webcrawler to come visit my site? Basically I just updated some meta tags and titles in a website I'm working on. I would like Google/yahoo/whatever search engine to display my updated meta info. Is there a way to speed this up? or do i have to just wait for crawlers to come to my site?

SuperBlue Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Not exactly. But you can change the crawl rate if you login to google webmaster tools. I wouldn't worry about it though, it should change soon enough.

bryansmith Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You can request the crawlers by letting them know that you have changed the page content and please visit it. The way to do is create a sitemap.xml file (using the protocol listed here: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php). Submit your sitemap to Google (through webmaster tools) and other search engines. Make sure you put a "lastmod" xml tag for the url you have changed and put the date when you changed the web content. Is there a way to get a webcrawler to come visit my site?

.josh Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It has also been my experience that if you turn around and google, using exact urls as search term, it seems to speed things up. I don't know if it is officially part of some formula or process or whatever; I've just noticed googling a couple pages here and there on domains that I know to have no kind of previous indexing... google url and within next day or two it's showing up in search results...
