Increased Google Crawl - Panda Coming?

[dunivan]

Anyone else seeing things like this in GWT?

page template because it is over 500 unbroken characters. The graph it pointed to
showed a crawl rate that was more than DOUBLE any crawl rate in the past three months.

Not seeing anything out of the ordinary in my crawl monitoring. The last real big one was Dec 1.

I'm seeing a slight increase in the crawl rate... it's usually a good signal that a Panda update is coming... things should get interesting.

I have the same increase in crawl rate. Hopefully Panda is here by weeks end. Im tired of the junk appearing before my site.

Probably some mini updates or preparation for a bigger update. I see miniscule movements across the board since friday.
