Google Webmaster Tools: Setting Crawl Rate

Hi,

I currently have the crawl rate set to "Let Google determine my crawl rate" for my sites. I was wondering if it would be of any benefit if I set a custom crawl rate and increased it. Would that help get pages indexed quicker? Have any of you tried that?

Thanks,
Tarek

Making the crawl rate faster is a new feature. Until recently, you could only use that tool to slow it down.

It should get your pages indexed faster, at the expense of some bandwidth and CPU.

Thanks Will, I guess I'll give it a try and see how what happens :)
