No Fresh Dates anywhere at all...

.. for nearly 36 hours now.

Fresh Dates, those little tags next to the cached link in the Google SERPs, have been missing in all SERPs for at least 36 hours, even where results have a cache copy as little as 14 hours old.

What happens next?

I posted this in supporters regarding Mozilla Bot:-

For those who have not got a subscription get one (kidding - well sorta)

From supporters:-
Bit more information on this bot as far as I can see.

Yes - it does enter pages into the index - I have had problems with my site so I have not seen as much Googlebot activity as normal - anyway the last time I saw Mozilla Googlebot was in November when their was a massive crawl.

I still have some pages going back to November in the cache (supplemental now - but in the index) and these were fetched by Mozilla Googlebot - they have the exact time date stamp of when Mozilla Googlebot visited.

So for me it does enter pages (how quickly and whether all pages I dont know)

-----------------

Also looking at what Mozzila Bot has done over the last few days - it has fetched new pages - at one stage I thought it was just going over old ground but it does look like it is picking up new pages.

The Mozilla Bot finished earlier today (unless it comes back later) - it was under ip 66.249.65.134

I dont know if the pages from November were always supplemental or whether they have become supplemental due to age (I think the age factor is more likely though)
