Can Someone Help Explain

FreshBot

[phish]

For the last 3 weeks my site (which is newly indexed and has no page rank) was getting visited daily by freshbot.I was number 3 for one of my key phrases, and freshbot kept me there daily no ups n downs just number 3 for 3 weeks. Last night poof completly gone. All thats left is an old cached page. Also even though freshbot visited me everyday, my site has never been deep crawled - the only page that was indexed was my index.html. Any help or suggetions? Also would i get penalized for having a Navigation bar both at the top and bottom of my page? To many internal links? And does googlebot follow dhtml rollover button links?

Hey phish, welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Read here to learn more about the freshbot and "everflux" - [webmasterworld.com...]

Googleguy explained more about Everflux here:

[webmasterworld.com...]
If your site is new, or hasn't shown up in Google for long, it may because our "fresh crawl" (which runs each day) was finding your site instead of our main crawl (which runs about once a month). Our "fresh crawl" is a newer feature, and we're still experimenting with which pages to crawl, how deeply to crawl, etc. We even reserve the right to (gasp!) not do a fresh crawl on some days because we're doing tests or reviewing new code. Someone wrote in recently and said "my site got in Google three weeks ago, and you've dropped me four times!" Nope, it's just that we don't always crawl the same pages in our fresh crawl, and we don't always crawl to the same depth. As we do a full crawl of the web, we find most of the sites from our fresh crawl and put them in our regular index. My advice on our fresh crawl is to view it as a nice "bonus" on top of Google's deep index. Users can always search our full index, but sometimes we can serve up even fresher pages as an extra nicety.

As to your other questions:
1. Are there many links pointing to your site? This will help get it deep crawled. Are your links "readable" - text links?
2. I don't think you'd get penalized for having 2 sets of links.
3. I don't think Googlebot reads dhtml rollover links, however I'm not sure on this one.

Hope this helps.

as of right now yes i have about 20 or so incoming links ..i hand picked each site i linked to and emailed them all to make sure they were topic related links.i also have outbound links to some of those sites plus more to other sites. as for the internal links..yes they are readable text. i have text navagation bars is this ok? i did it because i read that gbot cant follow rollover links.

thanks
