        You can't -- but the better question is why does it matter/is it important to you?

          Dear Friend,

          You can do this by browsing on your WEB log files and looking for the string "http://www.google.com/bot.html"

          How often your site is crawled by google depends on many factors ie.:

          1. How often you add or modify content.

          2. How many links are pointing to your site.

          3. and more.

          In my experience this crawler freq. is a good signal of active and quality site.

          Hope it help

          Claudio

            To get a rough idea , check the cache date in SERPS for a couple of days ad see how often that changes.
