Any way to make Adsene Bot come back?

[fredw]

Is there any reliable way to make the Adsense Bot revisit a site?

The targetting on the home page of one of my sites has gotten off track. I've removed the content which caused the confusion, but now I must wait until the next time Adsense Bot visits.

Is there any way to shorten the wait? The bot visits so quickly when a new page is added...

Sometimes putting up a different ad unit works.

I tried that... :-(

ASA: If you're listening, a suggestion for a future feature: If we could have something like a place in the control panel where we could enter a URL that would cause the Adsense bot to come back and check out the page again, that would be really helpful! Or possibly the trigger could be something you click on in the Preview Tool...

Hello from Down Under :)
You could do what i did. Changed "one" url with a different name ie: puppy.html to puppy-page.html.
The go back to googlemaps and resubmit your site.
It SHOULD crawl it and see a new page and update it.
Have you used the sitemap setup from google yet?
Cheers, Rob

No, I haven't used sitemaps yet. Are you saying you can change any url on the site, or do you have to change the affected one? It's not really eaasy for me to change a page name, all pages on the site are automatically generated. What's worse is my affected page is the home page / and has no name...

New page means no PR and visitors. Isn't it?

According to Crawl Caching Proxy posted by Matt Cutts you just need any one of the bots from Google to get your pages updated.

if the blogsearch crawl or AdSense wants to fetch a page that the web crawl already fetched, it can get it from the crawl caching proxy instead of fetching more pages. That could reduce the number of pages fetched down ..... In the same way, a page that was fetched for AdSense could be cached and then returned to if the web crawl requested it

"Is there any reliable way to make the Adsense Bot revisit a site?"

I was under the impression that changing ad size does this.

"New page means no PR and visitors. Isn't it?"

Not if you do it right.

Not for me. As I monitor bot activity, I just added two new ad units to the page of a size I've never used before (125x125). No bot visit.

However, if I hit a url never hit before (find.html?find=something+new) Mediapartners bot visits INSTANTLY.

My home page has been stuck off-topic now for more than a week. This is very frustrating.

To quote from googles publisher tools page...."You get a smarter crawl because you can provide Google with specific information about all your web pages, such as when a page was last modified or how frequently it changes."
You can RESUBMIT your site as many times as you wish.
Theres too much important info not to look over the sitemaps tools, let alone other important info from google...trouble is, most people dont even LOOK into what can and cant be done.
I see sites with ONE ADSENCE AD on it.why? Your alllowed a quota of 3 and a ad link too. It pays to read and reread as you'll see that if you havent used sitemaps yet your missing a great tool AND service, thats free and will always be free, they state...cheers.

Lastly....they DO reply to emails, took 3 days for me but they WANT you to email them for this sort of help. My contact is CAROL....give em an email...they WILL help you

My experience so far:

Changed/added/removed ad units: no change to targeting.

Submitted sitemaps: no change to targeting.

Google's reply to my email: nothing we can do.
