I often hear SEOs say there is a link between a page’s crawl frequency and its visibility on the SERPs, like a spider request is related to a boost in visibility.
Even if it’s true that websites with high PageRank are crawled by Google more often and deeper, we cannot think there is a correlation with rankings. A resource is only crawled more often by the spider to check if the content has changed.
When you perform a search like [site:nameofthewebsite.it], Google shows the resources of the website in no specific order. If it’s true that, generally, on top of the list you will find the homepage, it’s not true that the other resources are listed in order of importance.
Many years ago it was possible to use a hack to see all the resources from the search engine in order of PageRank, but this function was eliminated by Google a long time ago.
I listen to a lot of music. Always. I started to talk to other SEOs about music they listen to, till I realize I wanted to know more about what music SEOs listen to when working. This was a huge project for me, because I had to get in touch with a lot of SEOs, and I didn’t know the response to this (since I am pretty unknown in 2012 :D). I am happy to say that more than 50 SEOs answered me back. The project started in this way: choose 2 songs or 2 bands you listen to, one for onpage stuff and one for offpage. Some SEOs were able to choose only 2 (I know it’s really hard), others wrote me their taste in music in general, refusing to choose only 2 songs. I decided to keep all the answers, no matter what was the original project, because it was a huge chance to me to discover a lot of music…and so, it’s a huge opportunity even for you! So, let’s start. This is a huge post, kinda epic I have to say (it’s really long, so take your time), and I want to THANK all the awesome people out there that were kind enough to share with me their music and who helped me to realize this. Ready to rock?
