Who’s the faster spider?
Sunday 27 I have activated the domain, setup Wordpress, and started posting. Good. Than:
- put the RSS on My Yahoo! for indexing
- setup a Technorati account
- submit to Google using the free submit
Results?
Spider Hits Bandwidth Date
Googlebot 13 33.78 KB 27 Feb 2005 - 21:22
Inktomi Slurp 2 10.28 KB 28 Feb 2005 - 22:43
Well I was idiot enough to do both Technorati and Google submit, but if I was to put my money on something…that would be Technorati. I mean is the Technorati the caused the googlebot visit.
Since now the domain shows up only on Yahoo though…let’s see how long is Googlebot digestion period

Yahoo search engine is very quick to include new sites and rank them well. It can also drop you that quickly.

So, when did the Technorati spider come and index you? Should have been pretty quickly after the ping, our median time is about 7 minutes after the ping.

Technorati is always fast because Word Press by default pings them. Google showed up the page on 1st March, 3 days after first indexing.
After watching Technorati tags showing up on Yahoo and Google i think the Slurp and Googlebots visits certain mages at least hourly
