AdsBot visited only once, grabbed the html and has not been seen since. I've uploaded 20+ landing pages, changed the file extension and have not seen it since I started the Campaign.
How often does the AdsBot visit? Does it check every landing page? How can it calculate a QS using the landing page as a variable without seeing the landing page? I understand that my initial QS is based on historical data but when will AdsBot come to visit again?

Uploaded first html landing page
- AdsBot visits this page, only the html is downloaded
17/03/2009 12:04 PM
Mozilla user agent with a Google IP address vists again, downloads same html and swfobject.js
17/03/2009 12:05 PM
Mozilla user agent with another Google IP address downloads only the landing page Flash file.
17/03/09
Uploaded 19 more html landing pages
18/03/09
Deleted existing html files, replaced with php files
No more AdsBot visits.
Some Google IPs checked our landing pages 8 days later.
Appears to be automatic as no images were downloaded.
If Googlebot visits a page, sometimes the AdWords system will use that information to calculate quality score as opposed to sending more resources (i.e. adsbot) back to that page.
we've actually had a very wobbly server this week. And I banned the Googlebot because of dupe worries.
I'm thinking of changing the landing URL to force(?) a revisit. Hopefully that will work.
Cheers.
