Freshbot- Is there a definte way to meet?

Freshbot is there a definite way to get it to come to your site

[slk230]

I was wondering if there is a definite way to get fresh bot to come visit my site. My content on main pages changes with sales and such. Plus we are always adding new content as well.

What do I need to do to get crawled by freshbot.

Hi slk230,

I've read some posts on this site before and there seems to be an unofficial suggestion that having the google toolbar installed can help entice freshbot to a site if you visit the site with the toolbar activated. Other than that there's the submission page, and having links to your site on other sites on the net.

Hope this is of some help

It seems to be somewhat dependent on PR, slk230. I've got a pr of 6 and have been cleaning up html code and adding content almost every day. It visits me most days. Other than the pr, I really don't know what it likes.

slk230,

PR5 and update your content at least every three days seems to work for me. Below PR5, it may not work the same way.

My main web page which for me is just www.mydomain.com has a pr of 4. I have been working on getting some high quality links.

I appreciate the feedback and will update more often.

Now will I need to this on all pages... example FAQ's or just my main page?

IMO, there are two Fresh listings at the moment:

1. High Pageranked pages (highest Pageranked pages of high Pagerank sites)
with a hunch, mentioned by others that DMOZ and Yahoo links will help extra for this Fresh listing.

2. Recently linked to new webpages. Linked to, from pages as mentioned in 1.

[webmasterworld.com...]

So there are two solutions:

Ad1. Get a high Pagrank for that page (also within your site)

Ad2. Make sure you are linked to from pages with high Pagerank that already get the Fresh tag on a continous basis.

I have had Fresh tags continously for months for pages that have never changed for those same months.

With all this Freshness going around, it is a pity you cannot search for the real Fresh (new pages) within Google advanced search...

My two main pages, Intro and Main, that have PR6, haven't been changed much in weeks. All the other pages that are linked from them have a PR5 and I only change a couple of them a day. The freshbot checks most of the site that it had from the last update. It's been ignoring totally new pages that went up prior to mid-december.

Yeah, maybe true on #1, vitaplease... I have a dmoz listing.

It's been ignoring totally new pages that went up prior to mid-december

do you have direct links from your PR6 page to these pages?

[Stefan]

No, Namaste (cool nick by the way... I've been to Nepal and India), just linked from PR5 pages...

Should have said "post mid-december" pardon my fuzzy brain.

[Namaste]

Link from PR6 pages. PR5 onward links are not Freshbotted.

You can try a technique I use. Set-up a few links from PR6. Then after the crawl, replace those with links to other pages. The pages of the links that are no longer their retain the "fresh" tag for a few days. This way you can get many pages in the Fresh list.

[percentages]

For me freshbot visits any pages that are about PR 4.8+ or linked to pages that are PR 4.8+.

PR seems to be the key ingrediant for freshbot. ;)
