What I am trying to determine is. Will the spider follow the link on its first visit or does it return shortly after to follow the links, or does it wait until the next spidering cycle to crawl the links.
I am in the process of building at new site and I want to submit the pages as they are built, but I don't want the spider to get a 404 after it follows a new link to a page I am working on.
