How to increase google crawling rate?

Hi,
I think that my websites aren't crawled enough, is there any other way, apart from social bookmarking pages or submitting press releases/articles to increase the crawling rate?

 

Try to get backlink from high PR website like netscape and other sites..Google will crawl your site..

 

Are you using a crawling monitoring script to actually see how often GoogleBot comes? I see so many people ask this question and don't actually monitor it. They use the information in Google Webmasters Central which is almost always behind in data. But, by having backlinks from "relevant" sites and popular sites that post lots of new content daily (like digg, mixx, etc) you encourage GoogleBot to find your URLs more and in turn visit them more.

 

If you want to crawl your website or want to crawl a particular webpage then use Digg. Your page is crawled in same day. Its a nice tip which i get from somewhere & its work for me. So, it be for you.

 

There is an option in Google webmaster tool to set the crawl rate. By default it is set as normal but you can change. Do you add content on a daily basis? if yes then it is advisable to increase the crawl rate or else it should be left as it is.

 

try having a footer and site map, having your keywords in it....then submit your site map on google's directory submission listing....

 

I did it mate, I add content once two/three days, but I often do keyword amendments and title tags edits etc

I'll try the digg solution =o

 

well there is one trick if you follow, it should make SE crawl all over you regularly. Follow this:

You need to type on the address line:
www.aboutus.org/www.domain.com

Don't forget, www.domain.com should be your domain!, replace it with yours.

You will notice a page that will announce a "building article" note.

In 5 seconds you will have a whole page for your website and SE's will crawl that fast.

Another one is domaintools, you probably all know it, just one trick:
Over the address bar click:
www.whois.domaintools.com/www.domain.com

Don't forget, www.domain.com should be your domain!, replace it with yours.

It will do the same thing, 1 page for your website and many other pages will link to this, again fast crawl from SE's.

This should make your sites get crawled frequently. Believe me, it works!

 

You can only change the crawl rate if it is deemed to be a problem with how fast your site is being crawled.

As others have said; backlinks, backlinks, backlinks.

The more you have, the more authoritative you become, the more often Gbot visits your site.

 

I find the classical method of just being a good web master and updating your content one of the easiest ways for Google to chase you down!

 

yes dir, social bookmarking pages or submitting press releases/articles to increase the crawling rate and improve back links.

 

post at high pr forums with your sig, get high pr back links, add some new content often.

 

Add a Google Sitemap and submit it at Google Webmaster Tools. That's the only way I know that can help increase your crawl rate.

 

Keep adding new content, keep getting backward links and set up google webmaster tools to help in keeping an eye on things.

 

No idea if this works, but figured it cant hurt, so i Have created a page for all my sites, thanks for this one

i agree with "Adding a Google Sitemap", i think that would really help.

 

Try signature and web directory

 

The links there are nofollow :< will the site still get crawled?

 

I have noticed that just one or two good back links is enough to invite the bot.
The freqency will increase as you keep increasing the frequency if updating your site.

eg: Google only need to come to your site once via ONE link.
Google comes back after few days and see that you have 10 new pages.
Next time around google will come back sooner.. if Google still sees new pages, google will come back sooner and so on as long as it finds new content when it comes back the crawl becomes faster..

I have sites with very active commentors and I am more hurt by their frequent crawls... Few weeks back site was down due to database issues and whooosh went down my ranking once rank at a time... Of course the ranking came back but still... google was too quick to derank me.. i am sure it has to do with the crawl rate

 

My website has over 300 backlinks, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I upload new content each 2-3 days.
I submitted my website to digg two days ago and still nothing

Hmmm, I'm really confused about it.
