claytonseo in South Africa asks: "Say your index page has been cached by Google and you then you change the meta description. How long does it take for a Google bot to recrawl that page? Or must your request it via Webmaster Tools? Thanks."
Different websites have different crawl rates. No 2 websites are crawled at the same rate. A website which updated every hour gets crawled several times in a day. However, a website which hasnt been updated for a long time might consume more than 7-8 days or even 15 days.
@Robbertbiz Not really. Like if you have your RSS feed on the sidebar and you post on the blog, that's a great way to gain backlinks while having a quality website.
A page linked from my global navigation that was first published (just over 2 months ago) as a stub and then progressively updated with test results took 2 months before the cache was updated.
Can stub pages get flagged as not worth revisiting? It can't be a low PageRank issue.
@Robbertbiz Depends on how you do it; if you just post a bunch of links for the sake of it, that is weird and bad, but if you actually write a new blog post talking about the new thing on your site, that is good content (hopefully) and quite legit. For instance, you might make a new blog post every time you write a new tutorial on your site. There is nothing wrong with that. Everyone who has seen these videos knows the bottom line: good content is the key; if you have good content, it's legit.
@Robbertbiz gotta disagree with that. That's an excellent use of a blog. Have original content in the blog post and there is no spam here. What's spammy about an original post? Nothing.
@devji79 No, don't do that. If you use Blogger only to promote your website, Google will shut down your Blog(ger) because of spam. You can check this at the Google Blogger terms of service.
Little bit out of sync, but thanks.

@RealFullBarReviews If you constantly link to your own website from your blog, isn't that kinda weird in Google eyes?

So, meta-data is treated like the rest of the content?
