How do you know youve been spidered

Question from an arachnophile

[fred_bloggs]

Hiya, yeaterday I completely updated my home page. I'm anxious to see how this will affect my rankings.
I was on page one of the results so expect to be reviewed fairly soon.

Q.How do you know if a spider has visited? It does not show up in my stats.

Q.How long can I expect to wait?

Thanks

Fred

Q.How do you know if a spider has visited?

When your Spidey senses tingle. :)

If it's not in your logs, then you haven't been spidered.

It could be hours, days, weeks, or months. There is no set schedule.
