normasp: "I'm so boring.. "

I think you mean, I'm so bored. "I'm so boring" means that you are a boring person. Following these updates, you are right, I am incredibly bored with them, it's a new record of boredom for me, never before has anything bored me this much with web work.

I agree with you on that Greg, its been a very hard few months.

So has anyone done anything yet?

I've removed some text that "could" have triggered a dupe penalty problem (unfortunately I had a small disclaimer on the bottom of every page) PRATT!

set up a 301 for non-www

and so far thats it as I don't want to make too many changes until I see the results from what I've done so far

Your result code 200 with no data sounds a bit alarming for me. I had that once before. And it was a bug in my software.

I'd doublecheck my code and configuration for something that avoids data being sent to Googlebot.

Cant see anything that would stop Googlebot crawling - nothing in robots.txt

Where did you find the problem for your site.

The page in question where G is not getting any data but recieving a 200 has not changed at all since the last Gbot visit - but then it should shows as a 304.

Also it does not happen everytime G requests the same page.

I don't remember the exact reason. But I think it was some light cloaking issue.

I have some code that prevents creating a session as soon as a bot is identified. Thus no Session-ID will be created - and we all know what Google will do as soon as it receives Session IDs attached to URLs.

After implementing some more session data the bug simply sent an empty page when identifing a bot.

By monitoring my log after applying the new code I found that problem relatively quickly and fixed it.

Nope - nothing funny like that going on.

Gbot does visit the page daily so I will make a change to the page and see what happens tomorrow.

It just looks like a 200 is being returned instead of a 304.

I'm amazed it hasn't rolled out yet.

Oh well... the fun continues!
