Pirate Bay To Be Stored On A USB Drive
By Shaylin Clark

"Our users have been telling us that while they love the concept of on-demand indexing, manually entering URLs or keeping a Sitemap up to date is too cumbersome," says Google software engineer Liqian Luo. If the site is verified with Webmaster Tools, you can provide Google with a URL for your page that links to your site's latest content, and Google will "periodically" visit it to discover the new content.
