googlebot has stopped visiting 7 of my sites

OK, this one really confuses (And worries) me.

For my 7 websites. googlebot has not visited ANY of them since July 17th!!

 

URLs? How old are these sites? How frequently and how deeply were they spidered in the past? Are they cached in Google?

robots.txt
noindex or nofollow meta tag
bad last-modified headers
no new content

 

Have you tried adding some fresh links into the site, whats the url?

 

Yes, they all have fresh content almost daily.

www.mostpopularsites.net
www.mps-golf.com
www.mps-shopping.com
www.mps-health.com
www.mps-travel.com
www.pandapub.com

Edit:
They used to be indexed tons (other thread here is talking how my mostpopularsites.net is being deindexed as we speak from 60k pages down to 12.2k now)
daily googlebot on at least one of the sites and every 2-3 days on all the sites.

Cached pages seem to be there, but for mostpopularsites.net losing them RAPIDLY

all the robots.txt files are untouched and fine.

 

Googlebot has NOT stopped visiting the first site on that list, anyway -- see my reply to your other thread -- home page last cached July 22, 2005.

same for mps-golf.com:

I don't know if it's just me or a temporary situation but your mps-golf.com site was extremely slow to load -- server problems?

I also receive a warning from NPF that these pages contain an active-X control which was blocked... what's that for?

 

More info:

It looks like you are doing something on these pages to modify the Google search box in my toolbar... why?

A whois on your first site yields a "206 Partial Content" response code... not sure what that's about either.

 

OK this is very bizarre. My access_log files show no visit by GoogleBot since the 17th yet, yes, it's cached. Did the bot change names??

load time on mps-golf - hrm, was fast for me, just tried it..

What is NPF? - I should have no active-x there at all. Can you give me more details??

 

Sigh. I goofed on reading my access_logs. It had just renamed my logfile prior to my checking so I was effectively looking at an empty log.

I am sorry to have wasted your time on this thread.

Now if I could figure out why my other site is being de-indexed!!

 

Nope. A problem with your log files, perhaps? That and a couple of other things make me wonder about a server problem...

Sorry -- NPF = Norton Personal Firewall. And after the Active-X warning (Active-X control was blocked), the phrase "Search the net..." or something similar appeared in my Google search box on the Google Toolbar. That's never happened before and it only occurred on your pages. Whatever you're doing there is a bad idea...

 

I have a searchbox on the home page (google's code) for searching google (Search the web...)

That's their code not mine, so not sure what the heck is going on there...?

 

All I do it put text into the search box that says "search the web..." which also goes away when you click (clears the box) the search box.

It's standard javascript code and not related (intentionally) to any toolbar.
See below:

<input type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="search the web..." onClick="cleartext()"></input>

<script language="javascript">
function cleartext()
{
document.form1.q.value = ""
}
</script>

 

Many sites have Google search boxes but they don't do that...

 

Why even do that? I think by now mosty people can look at an empty Google search box and know what to do with it... wasted and annoying code, IMO.

 

Because I have two search boxes there. One for the directory/site and one for the entire web. It's to make them more distinct.

 

Not fast at all.

Checked www.mps-golf.com here: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

Yep. The thing timed out for me on my first attempt. The second one succeeded I presume because part of it was already in cache.
