Does Google Crawl in ASCII Order?

Are URLs at the top end of the alphabet indexed last?

[Pricey]

I always seem to feel missed out on indexes by goglebot, and I never seem to see visits when everybody else does.

Could this be because my company name and url are both low on the ascii table?

Company name is W...;
W = 87/127
& = 38/127
C = 67/127
o = 79/127

URL starts with w;
w = 119/127
- = 45/127
c = 99/127
o = 111/127

So does googlebot index according to acsii, or am I talking complete rubbish? :o

ps. No June update yet either :/

In my experience, the crawl order is influenced mostly by PageRank, or rather Googlebot follows links so it behaves in a similar manner to PageRank.

It's not so easy to see the pattern this year, I think it'll become apparent over the next few weeks.

Interesting, I have a PR4 on my homepage and a PR 3 on all my other pages...

I'll wait it out till the end of the month and see what G comes up with :)

Does mean that my PR <1 pages are less likely to be crawled, because they are at the end of the queue?

I have read GoogleGuy say a few times "we may have ran out of time to crawl your pages" (or something similar). Is this PageRank-based crawling order the reason that it can be difficult to get new or lesser-linked pages into Google?

[Pricey]

we may have ran out of time to crawl your pages

Does this also mean that G-bot has a set period of time to crawl?

[GoogleGuy]

ASCII order doesn't matter for a crawl..

All doubts that the deep crawl was done in PageRank order were erased long ago. See message 26.

Undoubtedly, PageRank has a heavy hand in the fresh crawl as well, but there may be additional factors involved.

Kackle, I agree with you for 216.239.* crawling, but the April and May crawling on 64.68.82.* crawling has been less predictable, more like the traditional 64.68.80.* "traditional Freshbot" crawling IMO.
