Yahoo Spider and Rankings

bbilou · #1 (**permalink**) 08-06-2006, 10:38 PM

Can someone please take the time to explain how often the Yahoo spider visits a site on average. Is it once a month twice a month etc.

When this Yahoo Spider visits I notice it updates each site and it is cached. The cached site can than be visited and a picture of it can be viewed. WHen the site is cached are the rankings changed as well or does this happen sometime later??

there is nothing like average time for yahoo spider to visit sites.
it depends on incoming links to the site.
if you have more links and if the content is modified, it will be crawled and cached. basing on the new cache, sometimes rank may change in SERP.

Right every website has different spidering patterns depending on many different variables set forth by the search engines.
