Some vendors have created programs that actually go out to data centers themselves to find out approximately when last index was kicked off. Depending on information returned from trace exact time and date are pinpointed. Is there really that much of an advantage to doing it this way? It depends, if you have a vital update that you want to optimize your site, you may want to know when last time Google visited your site for content to keep information fresh and relevant. There are many data centers that Google uses to spider across world. Each center has a specific region it covers and all information is gathered in aggregate and returned back to populate Google.com. With this many data centers chances for continuous indexing is good, but not guaranteed.

Google actually uses a specialized mathematical equation to place your site in a predetermined order. First things first, if your website is a keyword, that does not automatically give you a top spot. It will take time to move up ranks and you should register with Google as soon as possible to drive your rank upwards. But just having right URL (Universal Resource Locator) doesn’t guarantee top spot either. You must also be swapping or reciprocating links with other Google users. The more you use Google websites that are indexed faster and higher your site will go in ranks. A Google robot will visit your site frequently so continue to modify your code and keep checking its rank and status. Eventually, your site will drive up ranks and land on top. It may take time and work, but you will get hang of keeping it there once you employ right mix of keywords with links. Some companies can charge up to $1,000 for top spot, they employ same techniques, even though they don’t want you to know this. Keep your META tags, title, keywords and content in line with your keywords and continuously look to optimize them. Under no circumstances take another persons keywords off of their code; this is potentially dangerous as you could be violating copyright laws. Good Luck!!!
