    You're welcome Cricket. You know you can always depend on me to ask the tough question :D

    Anal retentivity drives me wild.

    Intellectual curiosity mostly - in this case, it's fairly easy to "nail the facts" as I have done - my guess is the same reason you have a 100+ page thread on sleeping bags?!? ;-)

    I don't think that is right at all. The "sleeping bags" experiment is trying to prove or disprove some very specific points. Our endeavour was to exit from this thread with a proven body of knowledge.

    What is you endeavour with all this detailed analysis and speculation about whether or not Google's time is 2 second late or 2 second early? What have we learned, and what can we do with the information? It is useless anal retentive claptrap IMHO.

    Don't know what to say - being a "coder", Shawn and I are perhaps a bit alike and we both made ONE post confirming the behavior ... so we "proved" a very specific point and have exited with that ... although as I mentioned, a related interesting point is that the cache is still showing a page from about 48 hours ago when it spidered about 24 hours ago. This obviousely has some bearing on when changes in pages are reflected in the cached copy, and as noted, may have some bearing on when changes are reflected in the SERP's. This does seem somewhat consistant with my personal observations of a day or two delay, and then "boom", the changes can be observed in the SERP's.

    My two cents!

    alek

    P.S. I think the fact that you can almost set your watch to when Google spiders the main www.komar.org page is also interesting ... but we'll save that for another day! ;-)

    It's just interesting (useless) info... I'm not trying to prove anything with it. :)

    I dont think that any proven info about any search engines habits is useless info. Especially to those in the business of coding scripts that have to be as precise as possible.
