I manage a group of 100+ sites. None of them has seen the spider for atleast 2 weeks now.This is somethig strange as i've noticed them being regularly indexed for the last 9- 10 months. Few clues;

1)I'd done a I.P reshuffle for all my sites around a month back. But i dont' think this created some probelem as bot kept coming at the sites even after. Bot also registered the changes in the cache corrosponding to the changes done on the sites.

2)Barring a few sites almost the whole group was penalised during florida.

3)I've also noticed a considerable cut in the backword link from google last week. I know that this is nothing new. Google often cuts back the backword links. What was strange however was the cut back in the no of links shown with the command "+www.site.+com"

4)Also though most of my site have returned to the top position in google, the titles reflected by google are preflorida. Strangly google had registered the post florida title changes for these sites.

Any comments?

Maybe they should stop indexing new sites, they already have enough stuff

My index page still getting fresh dates, but googlebot hasn't crawled new content pages in over two weeks. That is odd. Usually new content pages get crawled 2-5 days after they are added to the site.

I currently have a lot of google activity but it is mostly mediabot, to an extent I have never seen before. The mediabot didn't usually care much about pages that had be spidered by googlebot, but now it is all over my sites.

Do your sites have media files Seindel?

Or is it just to avoid all those webmasters making changes to the sites inline with perceived Brandy algo and seeing change in results in Google?
Trial and error would otherwise have been too easy if Google were to update ever so often ;-)

Hope I am wrong.

With mediabot I mean this User-agent: Mediapartners-Google/2.1

It is the crawler associated with adsense. It is supposed to be independent of the normal googlebot, but it doesn't normally grab pages that have already been crawled by googlebot. Maybe it uses the cache to save bandwidth.

Anyway, I see the adsense mediabot all over, while googlebot is much less active, but still there.
