How Indexing rate and Crawl frequency affect your website?

If we want to describe crawl rate in simple words then, it is the rate by which the Crawlers (bots) encounter the URL of your website while crawling millions of other websites across the web. Obviously, two factors will surely be there, Quality and Quantity of website on which our link has been found by the Crawlers.

If Quantity of links being found by the Crawlers is more then it will help increasing the crawling rate of the website. At the other side, if our link is found more often on very Good Quality clean site which got really useful web content, then re-indexing of website is been considered. It is but natural that a Good quality site must be having a really good indexing frequency. Let’s say Wikipedia.org & Mashable.com

How to check the indexing rate of your website?

Following are some of the URLs which help you to get to know about the indexing frequency of your website at specific period of time.
Last one day:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=d
Last one week:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=w
Last one month:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m
Last 2 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m2
Last 3 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m3
Last 6 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m6

It has been analyzed that the following sequence actually works in achieving good website visitors:

Case 1: Quality + Quantity Links -> Good Indexing + Good Crawling Frequency
Case 2: Quantity + Quantity Links -> Good Crawling Frequency

Case 1 further earns you a good PR over the period of time along with a stable SERP position. While, Case 2 earn you a temporary good ranking with so much fluctuation.
