Make sure in your blog settings your blog is not set to ‘private’ (which I think is default if you use wordpress)

The spiders visiting more month will never hurt you, but it will use a lot more bandwidth which may be a problem for some people.

And what if your site DOESN’T update that frequently, say only once a month? Then, would it actually hurt you to set your settings to “faster” and let the bot discover your pages don’t change that often? I already see Google and Yahoo are each now pulling 3-4 gigsabytes a month, plus another 2 or 3 gigabytes for MSN. That sounds like a lot, but all spiders put together still account for lass than half of traffic.

Blogs that Google thinks should be crawled more often. The only way to find out is to check Webmaster Tools.

Does this option work for established blogs only, or also for newer/fresh blogs?
