hi All Just want to know how frequently does the adsense bot crawl pages and display new ads! If i change the keywords do the ads change immediately? This forum rocks! cheers prasad..
It can be quite frequently, or it can take several weeks depending on the site and the kind of traffic level it gets. The only way to really know is to check your logs for when the bot next visits the page.
They get it within an hour, keep visiting your site and generate impression, check your backlog for GoogleMedia bot or similar, put your keyword in the right place, and they shall see.
for big sites it will keep on coming to crawl. I think it also keeps track of the "site update history". If it notice that your site gets update frequently than it will come more often. You don't have to worry about it though. It will come....
i might be wrong here, but i think Media Partners bot visits everytime a page is loaded to serve new ads
No, the bot doesn't. There would definitely be some pretty cranky webmasters grumbling over bandwidth if it did! The more frequently a page is visited will result in the bot visiting more frequently, but definitely not on every page view.
I was told by on of my friends that you shouldn't be on your site pressing refresh every 5 min in order to see what ads come up. Anyone know if that is true?
I believe once a day at least. Of course it depends of your traffic and what kind of site do you have!
