Google – Shock & Awe

Tweet

Normally, although I enjoy writing, I don’t have the time. Yesterday, I made the time and posted 2 entries to this blog. The posts were made a few hours apart. I’d barely finished posting the first when I received a Google Alert that it had been added to the Google index. I chalked that off to coincidental timing – Googlebot just happened to be crawling SPN shortly after the post. A few hours later I made the second post. Within 10 minutes, I received a Google Alert that this entry had been indexed as well.

Impressive. But, the question that comes to mind is this: Does Google crawl certain sites a set number of times per day or does Google monitor sites somehow so that changes to sites trigger a recrawl? Thoughts, anyone?
