1. You're not crazy, Ben. We have an adaptive crawling schedule. That means we crawl sites that change frequently more than sites that change rarely. However, we always try to at least crawl once a day.

2. It may be due to the fact that a URL that you entered was already registered in our system (by someone else previously). In that case, you'll be able to see a history of updates right away. If you don't want that, you can always just look at the timestamp in each item.

Thanks for your responses. Both make since, but could you elaborate more on the first? I have some feeds that update almost daily. Will the crawler schedule figure this out fast and update hourly at least, or will it take time to learn the schedule?

The crawl scheduler is designed so that it initially crawls at the highest frequency. Then, if it finds that it often sees no changes, then it eventually learns to slow down the crawl to match the frequency that the site changes. However, there is a lower cap at once per day. If this isn't the behavior that you are seeing, let us know and we can look into it.
