Search engines need to decide what pages
to include in their index. Discovering pages by
crawling the Web following links is one
way they discover web pages the other is
through the use of XML Sitemap files.
Crawl rate/frequency
Search engine spiders go out and crawl
a portion of the Web every day.
This is no small task, and it starts
with deciding where to begin and
where to go. Google has publicly
indicated that it starts its crawl in
PageRank order. In other words,
it crawls PageRank 10 sites first,
PageRank 9 sites next, and so on.
Higher PageRank sites also get crawled more
deeply than other sites. It is likely that
other search engines start their crawl with the most
important sites first as well.
This would make sense, because changes
on the most important sites are the ones the
search engines want to discover first. If a very
important site links to a new resource.
Links play a critical role in ranking.
Page placement Is your link in the main
body of the content Or is it off in a block
of links at the bottom of the right rail of the
web page Better page placement can be a
ranking factor. This is also referred to as
prominence, which has application in
on-page keyword location as well.
