When did the Googlebot last visit my site?
The answer to this question is in the web server log files.
For beginners, there may be a more user friendly way.
- Go to Google.com
- type: www.yoursitename.com into the search box (where yoursitename is the name of YOUR website)
- When the results return, your site should be the top one listed.
- The bottom line of the search result is the URL for the website printed in green. Next to that URL is a link called Cached.
- Click on Cached
- The page that opens displays your web page as Google has it cached in their system. At the top is a header. The first line whould read:
This is Google’s cache of http://www.yoursitename.com/ as retrieved on Sep 1, 2006 09:23:34 GMT
- The time reflected in this line is not only the last time the page was cached, but according to the Google Webmaster Central blog, it is the last time the Googlebot visited your website.
