Crawl vs Update Deadline

How late can you count on a crawl to show up in next index

[rudy]

For instance I changed my meta to say return after 1 day.
I ussually get my site crawled on the 7th which ussually shows
up in the index of the same month, in this case july 30 in www.google.com

Does google crawl the same sites at about the same time each month?

I understand that there is a cutoff point for crawls that happen after a certain
date will appear on the next months update. What is this cutoff time?

Thank you.

The short answer is that it depends...

If you have a high page rank (PR) Google will crawl and update the site every day. Low PR usually means that that your listings will be updated once a month even though the crawl is spread over several days or weeks.

Forget the revisit tag. It is useless!!!
<meta name="Revisit" content="After 7 days">

This tag is at least as good:
<meta name="Revisit" content="Please visit my site every day and give me top rankings. Please">

;)

Google only reads the title tag so keep it simple.

What would you consider a high PR?

Are you saying that if I I just changed by site on
say july 23 and the update to www3 happens on the 24th,
that the change I just made on the 23th will appear in the final
www index on 29 or 30th of the same month?

Thanks

A consider PR 8-10 high

I have seen changes on high PR sites being updated in Google the next day. Theese results are marked with the date they were refreshed. "www.mysite.com/ - 8k - 8 Jul 2002 - Cached"

I actually have a couple of PR 6 sites where Google updates 5 of the most important pages every day. Why? I'm guesing high quality link network and frequently updated content.

Thanks. PR8 ? I don't think I've seen any of my competitors
with anything above PR6.

What about new sites. How does the crawler treat them when it comes
across new sites in terms of frequency establishment for crawls. I guess
PR applies here to. If it determines the PR is 8 or higher it will crawl+update everyday.
Is this a fair conclusion?
