    Yea would have to agree with the poster, have been waiting for changes to be recached on several sites and some pages have been 7 or 8 weeks now.

    back in early summer it was never more than a week and a half to two weeks with same sites.

    tried all the usual tricks to get them to come, no joy, i think Gbot's off on summer holiday itself.

    I think the bot is busy fixing the public service ad issue on many sites it has almost fixed ours but has been slow crawling new content.

    it's all depend on Change frequency which is selected by you in your sitemap which you submit to search engines..Change frequency derterminates how often you update your website and then the bots come to crawl on this Change frequency. i think this will help all......

    it's wierd, you guys are saying google isn't indexing anywhere near as much as normal, but for the last 1-2 weeks i've had the oppisite, googlebot has gone from around 10-20 pages a day, and is hovering around 1000-1500 pages crawled, i have only seen one batch of pages added to the index so far, about 400 of them, but still, it's kinda freaky

    You have to keep updating your content and eventually the crawl rate will get faster

    why it's only half of the people here who actually read the post and not the title? do people here assume that no one has any basic knowledge of SEO, and that "change content more frequent" is something others are unaware of?

    Many of my sites haven't had the cache updated since 8th September. I checked a few big sites like apple, adobe, hotscripts and godaddy, their most recent cache is all from 12th September - 9 days ago.

    that is the disease, no plague of this site.

    most are posting purely for sig links i think.

    In my case, it is normal if google bot late to crawl for 2-4 weeks.
    I think this is no problem.

    I've had the 12th Sept cache for the front page for a week now...I don't think that matters much SERPS-wise cause individual pages/posts are being indexed as normal.

    More and more people are using Google Webmaster tools and with the popularity of instant websites (Blogs, Profiles, etc...) everybody has some type of web presence...the web has grown leaps and bounds just in the past couple of years...this could have some effect on Google not crawling sites as quickly.

    Dusty

    I think it has something to do with new content being added to the site all the time,i have started to notice the more people post the more the bots crawl.
