This could show that having the toolbar sends URL to bot to spider, or it could be a conicidnce.
I have a hunch that the googlebot is usually quite busy, and i would imagine it doesnt spend a lot of time sitting around waiting for a URL from the toolbar to come in to go look at.
I also will be the first to admit that when i go and look at my sites i hit the happy face vote button in hopes that i am getting my site attention by the googlebot.
I would be interested to know if someone has hard evidence (GoogleGuy chime in please) that the toolbar does add to the list of URLs to be spidered.
Build a good site, get some back links, the bot will come. I think that is the only "proven" way to get the bot to come a crawling!
will Google be introducing new ALGORITHMS and UPDATING policies next week?
