You know that annoying kid who is constantly poking you on your back
and asking the same annoying request over and over again? Well, Google
said if you do that to them, at least via the Fetch as Google feature
within Webmaster Tools, it won't lead to a penalty.
A Google Webmaster Help
thread has one webmaster concerned that if he uses the fetch as Google
feature too often, it might annoy GoogleBot too much and lead to Google
ignoring his site completely.
Google's John Muller said in response, "there's no penalty for using "Fetch as Google" frequently."
The original question was posed as:
I
am wondering if their is a penalty for using "Fetch as Google" too
frequently. I have been using it a bunch, trying to tweak a page on my
site to get it ranked better. At first it was very useful. Then, all
of a sudden, it seemed like the more I used it the worse I was ranked.
Can using this tool too much really hurt you?
John said no, but bad links and bad content can.
