Sitematch Question

I am playing with sitematch while I learn and practice optimization for Yahoo due to the 48 hour updates. This helps me see how changes I make affect my rankings. However, I have a simple question...

I know my url gets spidered every 48 hours using sitematch, but will my ranking change with each spider visit assuming that I have made changes. Meaning, if I see that I have been spidered, then look at my rankings, am I seeing the results for that last visit by the spider, or do rankings get changed less frequently?

Thanks

Y spiders my sites daily, without sitematch, but changes seem to take 2 -4 weeks before reflected in SERPs. My main site doesn't really change ranking much during updates, only when I tweek it. Updates for me mean more pages showing up in SERPs.

It would be great if Y! reflected within 48 hours your changes, or would it? That would make it too easy to game and it would be a mess. Some say it is now.

Best of luck to you, stay on it.
