Google has not crawled site since IP address changed

[mitch294]

Hi guys,
I have a couple of websites ont he go at the moment.

One of them had a few problems with 123-reg. It was flying up the rankings and I was happy with its progress. But since 123-reg changed the IP adress, Google hasn't crawled it. That is 2 weeks now. should I be concerned? Beforehand, it was being crawled every 6 or 7 days, so I was hoping that Google would pick it up again, soon. Any ideas, or do you ened mroe information?
cheers,
Mitch

Check your webmaster tools for any crawl errors/issues.

Welcome mitch294! Might jump start google with a sitemap. Meanwhile, has bing found you? What about slurp? Are other SE bots trolling your content? If so, then just wait, the gorg will eventually find you.

@Ankit: Sadly, As I have a 123-reg Instantsite, it's not really a proper website, so I don't have the ability to add html coding in the way that I would like. The net result is I am unable to prove the website is mine, and register with Google Webmaster Tools in the usual way.

@Tangor: thank you! I've not bothered with a site map as I thought that it would be a waste of time; there are only 6 pages, and no sub-pages! Is it worth it?

I checked and Bing last crawled it on 28th May, same date as Google. Yahoo is unable to say when the last crawl was... :(

Hi guys,

Still no crawl on any of my pages since 29th May. I'm getting worried now. Any thoughts?

You're not alone, a growing thread on the home page suggests this is new for a lot of sites.

Isn't the Google News bots thing different from this, or the same?

I think it is different. For example, Google acknowledged that they have had technical problems picking up new News Sitemaps this month.
