Is slurp spidering your site daily for the robots.txt?
Sites reindexed, after apealing did slurp stop spidering your robots.txt? and then sudenly went for other pages of yours?
My reason for this question asked so many times before, is though slurp daily went for robots txt until 22/3 (date for apealing more or less) stopped, but started again the 6/4.
Now again slurp stopped getting my robots.txt the 2/5 until today havenīt been back, and really donīt like the idea of doing an domain only for yahoo........donīt think I should need to, as long as there is an hope:)
Most of the time it just fetch robots.txt and 1 URL that is already in the index. However it is kinda hard to get slurp going to new pages since there is no single hit on the index.htm where I most of the time include a link to new pages.
Google on the other hand deepcrawls everything everday.
I bet those that are still in the index are just loving the increase in traffic they are experiencing, because 5,000 odd referrals a day has to be going somewhere else.
My homepage just got spidered by ATW.
Didnīt even looked for my robots.txt..
Cross your fingers..
Yahoo-VerticalCrawler-FormerWebCrawler/3.9 crawler at trd dot overture dot com; [alltheweb.com...]
message #6
"I would allow the former Fast crawler into your site but not read to much into its behaviour for now. "
[webmasterworld.com...]
I got that false alarm too a while back...
An older thread from april:
[webmasterworld.com...]
Walkmans link is from Mars.
Actually what does the Yahoo Slurp look like in logs?
My conclusion lately is even if you correct for what you think is penalizing your site its going to take a manual override by Yahoo to get back in, for the vast majority of people.
But anyway, that spider ever entered before to my site, so maybe.
Big changes are happening all the time.
Funny just went to yahoo.com, wrote [nameofmydomain.com...] and my spanish homepage came up, instead of the english that is the main.
But when wroting only www.nameofmydomain.com, this time my english main one came up on top.
Backlinks keeps changing, they seems to be jumping with their databases.
Slurp came back today for my robots.txt,
stopped the 2 of may.
Had some clicks for important keyworlds, even though I ever seen my site in,
and when checking yahoo webrank with the tool in an website, I had PR5 for long time, yesterday didnīt had any PR and know slurp again.......
What does it mean, penalty was lifted and hit again?
The reason I was out of alltheweb/inktomi last year after redesigning a page. The reason I think was because I used relative URL's on my index page and I think the spider got some problems with the way I coded them.
I ran the webmasterworld spider and that one as well had some problems with following the links.
Changed everything to hard coded absolute URL's and now my new page are finally picked up one by one. However it goes damn slow.
Yahoo slurp picks up 1 page a time (together with robots.txt
As far as I remember no deep crawls yet :( On the other hand google eats all my bandwidth by giving me a daily deepcrawl.
