Gbot visit frequency vs "PR"

    It always seemed to me that the the reason you wanted good PR on all of your pages was so that you would receive Gbot visits. PR5 on a page meant (to me) that you would see daily gbot visits to that page.

    Not that it really matters to me that we are not seeing the G toolbar updated anymore, but did anyone ever establish a baseline for daily gbot visits based on PR of the page?

    I doubt it is the PR drawing GBot back, but instead the factor creating the PR, its links. with 1000 inbound links, you bound to see GBot coming often.

    That's right .... More backlinks simply mean that your site will end up being indexed more often .... so, backlinks will affect PR as well as how often your pages are indexed. :)

    Well, I know from my own experience that pages with visible PR (again, when the toolbar was updated), based on their PR level, gbot would visit on a schedule which appeared to be correlated to the level of PR. I am trying to find someone here (if there is anyone) who has looked into this in greater detail.

    I had a site (PR6) which used to be visited on the main page about every day, but the inners would only be crawled once every few days. Added 3 PR8 links from 2 sites and the entire site gets crawled once a day now.

    Another site, also PR6, used to get completely crawled once a day. Since Aug 5, the site only gets crawled once every few days, despite adding a TON of backlinks.

    From my experience, number of links doesn't seem to matter as much as raw PR of the links.

    It seems to me the number of gbot visits probably depend on many factors, such as:
    * PR
    * Incoming links
    * Number of pages
    * Freshness (frequent updates = more spidering)

    Well Geir, they are all interrelated.

    Number of pages means potentially more incoming links which potentially means more PR which can be distributed to the main page which could give you high PR.

    One of our sites went from PR 4 to PR 0 for some unknown reason. It is still spidered every other day.

    my site it PR5, and it seems to be spidered every few days. For some reason, during the past few weeks, the frequency between visits seems to have lengthened.

    I agree heartily. My SEO-tools site is largely predicated on the on-page things one can do to assure that the bots see large numbers of pages, and all pages with meaningful freshness.
