SKIRMISHER

Today’s click-provoking piece of news on the never-ending saga of making Google into your willing bitch, here’s Bigmouthmedia reporting that Google Webmaster Central, or The Web Thing Formerly Known As Google Sitemaps (TWTFKAGS), now lets you choose how often Google crawls your site.

It’s still experimental, but here are two chunks of fine text copied from very nice sources who don’t really mind whatever I do with my life:

“We are testing an alpha version of our new tool with a small percentage of webmasters who use Sitemaps. You should leave this control at the Normal setting unless you are having trouble with the speed at which Googlebot is crawling your server.

Simply select the rate at which you would like the Googlebot to crawl your server and click save. During this stage of testing, we will evaluate requests to determine the best way of using this data and providing this tool to everyone.”
