Also, other pages have been crawled during the Dec crawl and have been crawled again this time. However, in between crawls I have changed the titles (more exactly on the 2nd of Jan) and they have been deepcrawled on the 3rd as appears in my logs. In SERPs however, the title remains the old one instead of the fresh one.
Can someone explain how and when google updates its index cause I'm not seeing it.
The deep crawl that occured in early December was indexed in the December update (Jan 1). The changes you made after the December deep crawl probably won't appear until the January update, unless you are visited by Freshy in the mean time.
Hope this helps.

Freshbots is picky. It usually only pick up 1 page (the root page). It is normal it likes to take holiday sometimes. If you new page is deep inside your site, then forget about freshbot as she won't come. If you are lucky, sometimes freshbot will pick up your main page and all pages that is link from main page. If you want better luck, your new page must be linked from the main page.
However, pages that is not in the index when crawl by freshbot wil only remain for 1 day. Except the bot come again next day. Hope this help you. (fresh bot are 64.x.x.x)
