Google Updates and Everflux, the Monthly Mid-Cycle Changes
[webmasterworld.com]
Freshbot came by three days later, and blam! I was on the first page for the most logical search terms, with a fresh date tag. Freshbot visited like clockwork every two days, with the update appearing in the index on the off days.
At the end of October when they were working in the new index, freshbot stopped visiting briefly, and my site started showing up fifteen pages deep in the search results (I don't have many high PR inbound links). I feared that Freshbot would stop visiting, now that I was in the permanent index.
This persisted for about ten days. Then Freshbot came back. I've now experienced three more events of every-two-day updates.
The point? Freshbot doesn't necessarily stop visiting once you get an entry in the permanent index.
It's a lot more fun than my static sites. I've got one of those that I changed in early October. Googlebot has been by, but not until late in October...and it now looks like I'll have to wait until the end of November for the changes to show up in Google.
