How often between crawls?

Mediabot that is

[too much information]

I have been working on my text for a new site with great traffic so I have been showing only myself the AdSense ads so I could see if it was targeted for my audience yet.

Well I made the mistake of including "Fund Raising" in my text and now all I get is ads for fund raising programs which is not exactly what I would call targeted.

Now that I reworked my text to not say anything about fund raising I can not seem to get Mediabot to come back and re-evaluate the page. Is there a certain amount of time between crawls that I should expect?

I did find that changing the case of even one single character in the URL causes a visit, but it still doesn't update the ads served to the all lowercase URL which is what every visitor is hitting.

If the URL hasn't been visited by the Mediapartners bot before, the first view on the URL will trigger Mediapartners to visit. That's why your test above caused it to visit. On one of my sites Mediapartners visits high traffic pages an averge of about once per 6-8 days.

Try changing something about the set up for the ads themselves, like the border/background color or ad box format.

Sometimes it seems like that will trigger a new visit.

You can always switch back afterwards, which of course may lead to even another visit.

Gives mediabot something to do so it doesn't get bored! :)

I don't think mediabot leaves my site :)
