Hey guys, Can anyone here spare some strategies on having pages/sites crawled at the earliest possible time w/o submitting a sitemap to google sitemaps or using any 3rd party SE tool? I tried linking to a site that can be cached easily, but I am not sure if it works. Okay, I just renamed some of my page urls since the old ones are supplemental and 301 the old ones to the new ones. problem is, it really takes a toll in time for google to eventually crawl all these new page urls.
This is weird. Google spiders visit regularly my site as seen in my awstats. But, when I checked my site, the new version isn't cached yet. The last time my site was cached is: 7 Feb 2007 01:33:13 GMT. Geez, and I've already made several changes on the site's onpage (and still in the process of revamping that site) anyways, just to clue you in more, that site's: http://www.mbpartswarehouse.com you can compare the cached version from the present live version, and it's really different. Also, Google hardly crawls the new URLs. (I think it only indexed 2-3 new urls if i'm not mistaken) I got robots.txt. but I only deliberately disallow a folder (i dont want the spiders to crawl it, contains a script). I don't know if there's something wrong with this site, or I need some to do some offpage optimization. I don't want to submit a sitemap to SE webmaster tools coz I really wanna make it as natural as possible. Anyone who offers a lending hand wins a cookie!
Just a side note. In my browser (IE7 on Vista) the site is broken. The featured auto parts section has a menu right through the middle of it.
Yes, actually, I got the programmers fix that huge bug. The layout's okay when viewed on Mozilla and IE 6 or lower versions. The bug only appears on IE 7, if I'm not mistaken. (I use IE 7 and it makes me cringe every time I see the broken layout)
