Why can't I send google the pages that have changed on my site? The point is they wouldn't have to hit my site so much with their robots. Plus, the updates would be live. Who wouldn't push their content to google one time rather than take all the hits? (where each hit to a page that hasn't been updated is wasted bandwidth.) Win-win as they say.
I'm not suggesting google change their ranking criteria. Just because you send them pages doesn't mean you'll return higher in searches. Maybe you'd sign up to send them pages, and then if they are already indexing you, they would send you some sort of password to authenticate that your pages are from you. If you're not being indexed they just note your interest, and then send you the key when (or if) they ever start to index you.
Actually, couldn't this be a revenue model for google? Have the service, but only let people send updates once every n hours (or days.) But, it you pay a little, you can send them more frequently. Or if you pay more, in real time. So their model could be free for what they do now, but with the addition of a temporal aspect, so people could search (at least among sites pushing their updates) for things using a very recent time criteria (for instance, you could search for news stories in the last 6 hours about thunderstorms in New York City, or any other sort of recent news event.)
Or am I missing something?
Hey Jim,
How's that DV tape to finalcut pro project going?
Actually digitalmediatree seems to have dropped off Google (and Yahoo) recently. If you search link:digitalmediatree.com, only two links come up; all the cross-links that were there seem to have been purged.
