Attracting the Freshbot again.

still not a sniff

[jon80]

I posted about 1 month ago with a question about which sites get a visit from the Freshbot.
My query was if my lack of visits was due to:
(a) being hosted on an ISP Free site (http://freesiteprefix/isp.com/mysite)
(b)Pagerank of only 3.

Since the last update, mainly due to information gleaned here at WebmasterWorld, the page rank has increased to 5. (Thanks)

I regularly change content and tinker around with the text on the homepage.

Any ideas regarding the failure to attract the aforementioned bot.

Good to hear about your PR5, jon. How are your keywords doing?

It is absolutely possible to have a website visited by freshbot even if it is on a free site. What about those websites that link to you? Are they visited by freshbot?

I had an improvement overall in the 2-3 word phrases which I target, more due to messing about with keyword density than Page Rank I suspect. Keywords in the anchor text also would have helped.
Several of the new backlinks I have are from sites which are freshbotted on a regular basis.
Maybe I just have to be patient.

When I want to attract the freshbot, I post a link on a high PR guestbook, with a Freshdate and usually the freshbot will find me.
