Has anyone made any observations on shorter-specified durations incurrring more frequent spidering or faster indexing ? And if so, is the converse also true - do lengthier-specified durations incur less frequent spidering and indexes ?
Is this attribute just a placebo ?
Any thoughts welcome.
TIA
My take on it is still the same - Google will use your input, but only as one factor in their total crawling algorithm. It's more than a placebo, but Google still makes their own decisions - including the changefreq setting as one factor.
