Crawl Rate just appeared in my Google Webmaster Tools

I have been trapped in meetings all week so I have not posted, hope to post more next week.

I am so excited I finally have the crawl rate control in my Google Webmaster Tools, what a great feature! My sites get millions of crawls a data from Google’s data centers and it’s amazing to see how much capacity it sucks up. But now when user traffic spike I can ask Google to slow down for a while to keep the load off of my sites. What a great tool

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few. After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few. Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds. I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients. Yes there is more too me than this profile shows, but you will just have to ask.
