How long does it take to get crawled and what if you remove the page

Just curious,

What happens if you list something on your site and then remove it 24 hours later.


IF you have a well crawled site chances are the page would get indexed. If it did and I removed it would it be totally gone or forever in cache? Also would the links on that page that got removed gain anything?

Someone offered me some compensation to add something to a page. So I did and they said they would put my stuff up in the next 5 hours... That came and went. I"m thinking they may just want to get it indexed and not care if I remove it tomorrow morning.

What do you think and is it possible for that to happen?

search engines will delete that page on the next crawl. you must not do anythink for it

 

That's right, search engines spider pages on your site. If it is not there it will be removed.

 

If you put a page up, it has a PR of 0 so if you put links on that page it really won't count for much anyhow. I am assuming that after you see the bots crawl that page, you will then delete the page as specified. That page will stay in the index until the next time a bot rolls through your site, it could be the next day or the next week. It will then see that page missing and de-index that page taking any link relevance and content out of its index system. So no it will not do you much good to put up pages, then delete them as soon as they get indexed.

 

and doing it on a regular basis will produce a lot of 404s and probably harm you site.

 

Thanks everyone. That is what I thought.

Cheers,
