As with any good web developer, the ability to
time the changes Google will update your website
and refresh the content for better SEO (Search
Engine Optimization) is in your favor. Welcome
to the world of “Google Dance”. The Google Dance
is simply that the predetermination of when the
actual update will commence.
What really happens is Google sends out spiders
to crawl the Internet, usually done to DNS (Domain
Name Servers), upon spidering all of the available
tables it begins to go through each individual
site and updates the content on to Google.com.
Thus if you watch your rank on the Google Toolbar,
you can tell when your overall page rank has changed.
Understanding SEO and what is necessary to improve
your overall ranking. Webmasters have been looking
for ways to increase the odds of guessing when
the next spidering would commence. There are various
versions and servers that go out and crawl thousands
of servers at a time, it takes time to relay and
decipher this information back to the web server
that Google.com pulls its information from.
Some vendors have created programs that actually
go out to the data centers themselves to find
out approximately when the last index was kicked
off. Depending on the information returned from
the trace the exact time and date are pinpointed.
Is there really that much of an advantage to doing
it this way? It depends, if you have a vital update
that you want to optimize your site, you may want
to know when the last time Google visited your
site for content to keep information fresh and
relevant.
There are many data centers that Google uses
to spider across the world. Each center has a
specific region it covers and all the information
is gathered in aggregate and returned back to
populate Google.com. With this many data centers
the chances for continuous indexing is good, but
not guaranteed.
