Does high PR mean faster crawl?

[myvoice]

I think I have to defy that statement as I still did not get rid of omitted results after adding descriptions to every page of a small site.

The interesting part is Google only indexed one page with the description as the snippet in the site: serp.

[SEOPTI]

Yes, more PR means a faster crawl.

[minnapple]

Higher PR = more pages included into the main search index, with fresher cache dates.
The term [ Higher PR ] can be interpreted in many ways.

I would vote yes, with the qualification that we're talking about the PAGE'S pagerank and not the SITE'S pagerank (by which I mean the pagerank of the site homepage).

It's also related to the nature of the links to the individual page; that's not exactly the same as the page's PR, but it's pretty hard to separate the two things.

I would say more PR means "the possibility of a more frequent crawl." I'm also talking about the real PR of the page in Google's private records, not the publicly available toolbar PR.

I use only two terms: PageRank (internal PageRank) and TBPR (exported PageRank). I know Adam Lasnik sometimes shortens PageRank to PR when he posts, but Matt Cutts never does. When I see PR I usually assume people are talking about TBPR, not PageRank.

You can guess at the quality/volume of IBLs into a domain by the number of pages in the main index. If you have thousands of pages indexed, that usually implies a TBPR 5+ (from what I've seen) and results in deeper crawls.

The speed of crawl IMO depends also on how often new pages are added to your site. If you're working with an authority site, I think adding new urls to Google Sitemaps is the quickest way to get them crawled. If your site is new with very few IBLs though, Sitemaps will probably not help.

But nowadays does PR really has some impact on the SERP's?

I really dont think so.

[centime]

Actually, I think that TBPR and googles private PR

only

Helps as 1 of several factors in SERP rankings

Helps determine which pages are supplemental index an which are standard index, as long as a page has enough PR to avoid supplemental status, i have difficulty seeing why PR an crawl rate should be related.

E.g. Say a research fellow at standford, or cambridge or mit or,,,,,
posts a prize winning and definitive paper on the net,

That page might get update only 1 time in 10 years, but it would probably be TBPR/PR 9 or 10

So why would a SE crawl that more than 1 time per month

On the otherhand

a blog by say a stocks an securities expert, updated 10 times a day, TBPR/PR 4. Should the SE not therefore crawl this blog 4 times a day,,,

[SEOPTI]

sunny_kat: Yes, PR has a big impact.

[sandpetra]

Can someone please quantify? What is high PR? 7? So having a PR 7 will get my site crawled faster? How faster - once a day? Once a week?

Does anyone have an actual idea (a specific example) to back up some pretty unspecific claims?

[myvoice]

I am now seeing a regular crawl to my website.
Hopefully I should get rid of omitted results.
Will let you people know about it soon.

Bye,
Ravi.

Remember that DCs differ

SEOPTI

I have seen many instances where a low pr websites ranks over a comparitively high page rank websites's

[abacuss]

If you have thousands of pages and have a TLBR PR 7 then the chances are that your site will get crawled once a day to maybe once in two days. Atleast I am telling this from a sites experience.

[ramachandra]

Yes, more PR means a faster crawl.

I too agree, infact I would say bot will visit the site frequently and cache most number of pages.

sunny_kat: Yes, PR has a big impact.

I can see some the sites which are ranking high but their PR is much lower than the lower ranking sites

[SEOPTI]

You can't see a sites real PR, but this has been covered thousands of times. Instead, look at unique quantity and quality of backlinks.
