Wheres freshbot?

[bytesize]

I havnt had a visit from the google freshbot in about 4/5 days - has anyone else noticed this, or did I manage to blacklist myself when I tweaked my sites keyword density?

It's been seen before but often it looks like Google let's the Fresh bot relax a little bit just when they release the update (they often release the "full index robot" after the update)

A good thread for knowing how to get the "fresh" robot to visit you is [webmasterworld.com...]

I have also seen a number of times especially with new sites, that the "fresh" robot pick it up in the beginning and index it for a week, and then dropps it, and wait for it to be index by the "full crawl" and get a stable position in the index.

Thanks for the reply lazerzubb!

What your saying seems to be exactly whats happened. My old site was deepcrawled, then the freshbot picked up the new site and that achieved a good PR. During the update though, Google seems to have rolled back to the last deep crawl which affected my rankings.

Just got to sit tight now, and wait - and damn thats hard!
