Google asks SEO’s to test their knowledge on how it crawls and indexes websites

Google has created a crawling exam to evaluate your SEO skills. Google stated that this is to test your understanding of how Google crawls and indexes websites. This is a true/false test with explanations on why the answer is correct or incorrect.

Previously, this was just a list of misconceptions followed by a rebuttal. It is now arranged more like a quiz or test. To be clear, the questions and answers have been around for awhile. However, it has now been converted into an exam format. Crawl budget is overrated for everyone else.

The paper is divided into the following sections:
-General crawling theory
-Best practises
-Monitor your site’s crawling and indexing
-Emergency crawl reduction
-Myths and facts about crawling

Google has published a guide to managing your crawl budget for major site owners. It is an advanced assistance guide designed to assist developers in managing Googlebot crawls on their website. The search engine decides how much crawling resources to provide to each site depending on its popularity, user value, originality, and serving capacity. The only methods to improve your crawl budget are to expand your crawl serving capacity and (more significantly) to enhance the value of your site’s content to searchers.
