Webmaster Tools - Crawl Rate

What is the purpose of adjusting the crawl rate in google webmaster tools?

Will setting a higher google crawl rate result in pages being indexed quicker as you add them to your website?

 

Best option is to let Google determine the crawl rate.

 

i saw nice artcie about google crawl here - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-faster-crawl-rate-no-thanks

 

I think it tells about our domain and how many time it crawls It means how many time people have seen your website but didn't clicked it. I think it works like that..

I hope this helps.

 

I am wondering this a lot, I have tried pinging different articles and services but it doesn't seem to help much. I find that submitting a Sitemap works, but that's very difficult to keep up with on some websites.

 

Update your content often and regularlya ,Make sure your server works correctly, Get more back links,Adjust the crawl speed.These are the ways crawling.

Google has sophisticated algorithms that determine how much to crawl each site. Our goal is to crawl as many pages from your site as we can on each visit without overwhelming your server's bandwidth.

You can change the crawl rate (the time used by Googlebot to crawl the site) for sites that are at the root level—for example, www.example.com and http://subdomain.example.com. You can't change the crawl rate for sites that are not at the root level—for example, www.example.com/folder.

Note: Crawl rate refers to the speed of Googlebot's requests during the crawl process. It doesn't have any effect on how often we crawl or how deeply we crawl your URL structure.

To change the crawl rate:

1. On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
2. Under Site configuration, click Settings.
3. In the Crawl rate section, select the option you want.

The new crawl rate will be valid for 90 days.

 

let google determine crawl rate is the best option

 

if your site is tens/hundreds of thousands of pages big or bigger, it might give you some benefit, but a small site wouldn't.

 

yes determine crawl rate is best

 

You cannot control crawl rate .You can just limit the site's section from crawling.The crawl rate depends upon the dynamism of you website.That is why forums are crawled more.
