Did I miss something?

Was there an update?

[jjdesigns4u]

All of sites starting a couple days ago started to get deep crawls.

Just like they do after an update.

Then I look at a site I just started working with and there listings have gone up about 10 pages.

I thought the last update was on or around March 6th

Was there already another one?

I feel out of the loop

What was the date of the last update if anyone knows?

thanks

No update yet. Are you sure it was the deepcrawl bot 216.239.x.x and not freshie 64.68.x.x?

Okay, I know everyybody hates when somebody mistakes everflux for the update so I'm NOT doing that but... there has been a huge change in the top 20 results for my keyword. Nearly half of the results are different. They DO have fresh tags so that is the explination but I've never seen such a huge effect!

[jjdesigns4u]

I even checked the google cache and it is showing the new page with the changes I made

so are you saying that it is not an update...

I swear this is not my first time...

The cache is from the most recent visit, I believe, whether deepbot or freshbot.

I would imagine that if there'd been an update that we'd have noticed a 300 msg topic devoted to it, so.... nope, no dance yet.

[jjdesigns4u]

I agree!

so these changes are?

everflux

[gibbon]

we have had a massive change in the top 20 sites for our main keyword too ... curious.

[jjdesigns4u]

big changes and then a deep crawl....

sounds like an update :)

[Stefan]

jj, can you tell in your logs what the IP#'s of the googlebots were?

It's likely an especially fluxing everflux for both you and gibbon.

It's freshbot. I have a new site that was just listed last update. It did OK, but I managed to get freshbot to visit daily, gulping up my changes and when the war started--BAM, I rose like a rocket w/ freshtags almost every day.

My other young domains were crawled deeper by 216. this past crawl, but I didn't push freshbot in their direction & no change in SERPS for them.

[jjdesigns4u]

hmmmmmmm

guess we are seeing the everflux... hate to take up server space for that!

I would say an agressive one though

so how long do we think those listings will last?

[Stefan]

guess we are seeing the everflux... hate to take up server space for that!

It's a great way to play with title, keyword changes etc and see the results a day or two later. Freshbot is our friend. :-)

[skipfactor]

aggressive is right...I went from page 3-4 results to page 1 on 95% key terms, just from freshbot. But only on pages listed last update, none of newly crawled content shows or is hit by war-predator freshbot with fangs. I'M LOVING HIM RIGHT NOW.

I'm all for a no-dance in March!

[TheComte]

I have seen freshbot crawl very deeply. What you are seeing is more than likely, freshbot. The Google cache will reflect the pages that are currently represented in the serps, whether freshbot or deepcrawl. In a couple of days, if you are not fresh, the cache and serps will revert to the results from the last dance.

Freshbot is our friend. :-)

I only have this forum to blame for my newfound freshbot bliss. I am pulling out the plastic right now to give a little back from what I have received here. After all the cash I've wasted on PFIs that don't bring me a dime, membership here is a steal.

Still seeing my old pages although they've been changed and deepcrawled after the feb update.

No changes for these keywords.

Another site in another area however has suddenly vanished completely - don't know why and expect it to be back after next update.

[jady]

Site update made 3 days ago already appearing in results/cache. A definate sign of a good lil' freshbot - not an update though..

[Stefan]

The cache is from the most recent visit, I believe, whether deepbot or freshbot.

...from an earlier post of mine.
Wrong, sorry, the cache is freshbot, when it's fluxing, until it reverts to deepcrawl cache.
