Interesting idea, but will the hassle of changing the header or footer every month be worth it?
Obviously youd want to code it to automatically change the footer. Couple that with actually tracking crawler hits on the pages and you have something as being crawled does not equal being cached does not equal being updated in the index. Frequency of crawl, cache, and indexing graphed gives some real insight as to the health of pages. You never want to asssume that site and interlinking structure will determine crawl priorities as external sites may deep link messing up the whole top down architecture. Actually logging it and doing analysis will help identify parts of the site low on the priority list and then you can decide if they should be or take corrective actions if they shouldnt.Needless to say, but I will anyway, this needs to be automated so you can just look at reports and not waste time compiling them.
yes @harrywatson you absolutely need to use a server side scripting language like PHP to automatically change the date.yes @johnweb this will really tell indexing frequency not crawling frequency and there is a subtle difference between the two, but I chose crawling frequency since readers are going to grasp the concept quicker.
