I have start a blog last month (later September). After I registered and start blogging, google takes snapshot of pages for five days. But after that google didn’t take any further snapshot of my blog (from October 1st). How i ensure whether google crawling my blog or not. Is there any relation between snapshot cache and crawling. Any one please ? Thanks in advance..
Use this in google - site:yoururl.com If you can see that all your posts are indexed, then yes, your site is being crawled.
You can use the Google Sitemaps at google.com/sitemaps to track down on the crawling activity of your blog. Crawling does not mean that your page will get indexed but it gives you an idea if google is checking on your website or not. There can be a delay in google indexing new pages off your website so do not worry on that. Hope this helps
If you have more backlinks it is probable that your site will be frequented more through those backlinks by search engines. Also increase the posting activity on the blog. It might be that search engine did crawl the blog but not showing a recent cache as it didnt find any new content on the blog.
If you've got google webmaster tools set up for your blog then you should be able to see the crawl rate and last snap shot taken. The cache you talk of is google's snapshot of your site. ROOFIS
