Submission Rules

[Metalfrog Studios]

Good morning

I am new to this group.

I have been working on SEO projects for the past nine years, with very
good results for my clients.

I just wanted some clarity on a couple of points.

Firstly, can you submit your client sites more than once a month, and
not get penalised? There seems to be conflicting advice on this.

Secondly, do youknow of any tools on the web which will tell you when
your site is about to be crawled?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

Your questions bring up a good point, but first let me give you my
take on the answers, keep in mind, that's all we can do here is give
you our advise on the answers, no factual answers can be given except
by the guys who developed the code of the bots/spiders that crawl the
internet and I am not one of those guys.

Question 1 , can you submit sites more often than once a month.
Answer : Why would you want to? updating content? or simply just
submissions?
Over submission can hurt because over all , it's just not needed. All
sites will index you if your site is built correctly and most bots
will visit your site multiple times a day, unless you limit them with
the use of either a Robots.txt or a sitemap or something like that.
Please give me more information on why you need to submit more often
than once.

Quesiton 2, AW Stats tells crawl rates, not when it's going to crawl,
most sites crawl several times a day, for instance, here's a blurb of
one of my sites from AW stats regarding crawl rate for 5 days.

Etc...

* Robots shown here gave hits or traffic "not viewed" by visitors, so
they are not included in other charts.

welcome to the group, great to have u here.

ur first question, i would say, it's a bad idea, rather u use sitemap to update and let crawlers know
second, it is to be honest not really a matter for me at all, as long as I have once submitted to particular crawlers, i never look back, unless i have my site off to more than a couple of months

hope that helps
