Thread: Link Question...

IIRC links/PR have a direct effect on how often the site gets crawled, so if that link has a measurable effect on your link juice you should see Gbot turn up more regularly.

Thank you for replying - however this does not answer my question.

I would like to know if the link would count for my site if Google crawled the authoritive site where the link to my site is situated BEFORE it crawled my site?

Thanks

I take it you mean RE-crawled your site, in which case..... it depends :-)

have you checked your logs, I've found the info at times in the webmaster console a little off. Have a look at the date that googlecache is showing ? That is also a good indicator.

Google just updated in webmaster to 21st sept.

Now when I go to Google cached version its showing my homepage from 25 Jul 2008

So what counts and what doesnt?

Crawled doesn't mean indexed. Google will often check back on pages to see if there are updates, to see how the page changes over time, etc.

If the cache version is so old, i.e. 2 months old, I'd say either google thinks your pages are of lower quality or it's in progress still.

Check other pages not just the home page.

Thanks... Good advice. Some pages have been updated more recently
