go google go
Last night Google “crawled” our website. You can think of a crawl as a scan of the entire world wide web’s billions(!) of pages. These crawls are done by a network of over 15,000 computers called “bots” that scan the web in order to find websites and make a map of the internet so you and I can find the things we want to find. We’ve learned Google does a complete crawl of the web about every 30 days. Strangely, Aaron and I seem to be developing a rather pavlovian response to these monthly crawls! We’ve been at this a few months and each time the crawl happens, we rush to see how we rank in searches, try to figure out how to get better, make changes and wait nervously for the next crawl.
We have found it usually takes about a day after the crawl for Google to update its index (map) so we are in nail biting time. Maybe more accurately I’m in nail biting time since Aaron is not a nail biter!

ACTUALLY, we have only been at this for one month, but it seems like months
