I remember when growing up that U.P.S. had a fierce deadline. Wherever I worked when I was growing up it always seemed like I was in charge of the U.P.S. shipments. I was always fighting the deadline. They don’t wait. That’s not what they do. They come, they drop off, they pick-up, they go. What a job to have; driver for U.P.S., I guess that is why they get paid so well.
Your RSS Feed has a similar deadline. It won’t wait either. Just like UPS, Google ain’t going to wait.
With the advent of Caffeine, which I wrote about earlier this year, my posts are getting indexed by time of post. Here’s a heads-up: Without an RSS time stamp, you’re at the mercy of the bots. When you set your RSS Feed to publish at say ……… 7.00 P.M. Google comes looking for it at that time. How else does Google know when to publish “within the last 10 minutes”. Trust me; Google ain’t waiting around the back door of your Blog just for your daily post.
When you set your RSS timer, Google crawls that part of your site or site-map and logs it in. Then every day at 7.00 P.M. Google comes around for the goodies.
Google will not explain this to you; I have just learned this by “EXPERIENCE“. It’s the name of the game in Blogging and Internet Marketing.
