Google indexes a lot of pages. How does it know that it should crawl a page once it's created or updated?
How does Google know if a page is updated?

Re: How does Google know if a page is updated?
#2Google finds pages mostly by following links from other pages, so that takes care of the 'created' index. I suspect it also looks through updated domain records to find new domains.
I believe updating existing pages is based on the popularity of that page in google search results, though I'm sure they also maintain records of how often a site is updated.
These are just my guesses though, others here may have more info.
