Find out when your site was last crawled by Google and Bing

There are a few different ways to find out when you website was last crawled by Google and Bing. But one of the simpliest ways to do it without joining anything is direct from the search engines search page.

Google:

1. Open up Googles search page.
2. Type in site:yoursitename.com (Your site name for example site:myfacebook.com) into the search box.
3. Locate your site, which should appear on the top of the page if it has been crawled before.
4. Once located, you will see at the bottom of the description of your site the word Cached
5. Click on it.
6. You will then see the following displayed This is Google’s cache of http://myfacebook. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 6 Oct 2009 12:52:58 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more..com
7. The date and time displayed is the last time it crawled your site.

You can also see how many pages it has crawled of your site. If you recently submitted your site then you can check to see if is listed. It should list all the pages it has crawled.

Bing

Follow the same steps above.

The only difference will be what it says when you click on Cached Page. It will display

You have reached the cached page for .com. Belowhttp://myfacebook is a snapshot of the Web page as it appeared on 11/10/2009 (the last time our crawler visited it). This is the version of the page that was used for ranking your search results. The page may have changed since we last cached it. To see what might have changed (without the highlights), go to the current page..

Yahoo however, doesn’t seem to display the date. But there are other way of finding out. You can use the webmaster tools with all of them to get better control of things.

That’s it, it’s that easy.
