I've noticed that Google downloads the sitemap for my PR3 site around once every 4-5 days. Anyone get better results?
Usually mine gets downloaded every 24 hours...what I do is add a link to my HTML, XML, ROR, and URLLIST sitemaps at the bottom of every page like this. I also include a link to my newest pages so the SE's will index the new pages faster. It used to take a week for them to update the sitemaps, and indexing new pages took a couple of weeks, but now the pages are getting added in 36 hours. GOOD LUCK!
i m using ping google utility in my web directory it pings google and then google downloads site map as i generate new one!
google is getting my sitemap daily. it's related with the power of your backlinks. more backinks means more googlebot visit
On a daily basis, but I've also uploaded a recent Google Sitemap in the Google.com/webmaster section.
Mine is downloaded every time I say resubmit in the webmasters tools. So I guess when ever I need to really.
