the more often google crawls your page, the better. 1 hour is good already, write more interesting and unique content and try to bookmark your posts. you won't just be attracting spiders, you'll also be attracting readers.
Oh no that isn't how many time's i've had page's indexed. That's how many time's googlebot has visited and crawled my site.
It depends on how often you update your content. Google indexes pages past but takes time when returning to crawl. I've found Bing to be the oppposite.
But how long did google take to index your websites/blogs for the first time? Once it happens, of course the new content will be indexed in matter of minutes.
once indexed by google the crwaling time depends on the popularity of the website. my PR3 blog is crawled almost "instantly" while my new website in a matter of lets say 20-30minutes. think is clear this questions
no idea about faster crawling, but if you have a link from regular cache sites, you will get fast indexing.
