Google Site:www

[sdk1988]

I just noticed something that I have not seen before, our home page was crawled today and when I run the site:www for index pages, I have now notice a date after the page title on a few pages, I also notice after some of the dates 2 visits, or 1 visit. I havent seen this before, does this have to do with the newer additions of content that have recently been added?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If you are logged in to your Google account and tracking search history then I think you will find that this date is the last time you visited the site. It also shows you the amount of times you visited. Big brother is watching you!

I went into google webmaster console today, and noticed that they crawled, we added new pages, and I wanted to see if any have gotten indexed. I clicked the link in the webmaster console, to follow the site:www.xxxxxx.com to see that report.

So, you are telling me along side the titles and description the time and visits is say when I visited this site?

I should ask what's the purpose of this?

Yes. It shows the amount of times you have visited the site and the date.

The best explanation of it's uses can be found here (http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=54068&topic=10472) but you can be sure that Google is using your information in the background to calculate personalised search preferences and IMHO to optimise the targeting of adsense adverts.
