How to tell how often Google crawls someone else's site

How can I tell how often Google crawls someone else's site?
-
To get a rough idea , check the cache date in SERPS for a couple of days ad see how often that changes.

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

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

Site Audit Tools Not Picking Up Content Nor Does Google Cache
Hi Guys, Got a site I am working with on the Wix platform. However site audit tools such as Screaming Frog, Ryte and even Moz's onpage crawler show the pages having no content, despite them having 200 words+. Fetching the site as Google clearly shows the rendered page with content, however when I look at the Google cached pages, they also show just blank pages. I have had issues with nofollow, noindex on here, but it shows the meta tags correct, just 0 content. What would you look to diagnose? I am guessing some rogue JS but why wasn't this picked up on the "fetch as Google".

Google Has Indexed Most of My Site, why won't Bing?
We've got 600K+ pages indexed by Google and have submitted our same sitemap.xml's to Bing, but have only seen 100-200 pages get indexed by Bing. Is this fairly typical? Is there anything further we can do to increase indexation on Bing?

Handling '?' in URLs.
Adios! (or something), I've noticed in my SEOMoz campaign that I am getting duplicate content warnings for URLs with extensions. For example: /login.php?action=lostpassword /login.php?action=register etc. What is the best way to deal with these type of URLs to avoid duplicate content penelties in search engines? Thanks 🙂
