heya guys, anyone can confirm whether the adsense mediabot actually helps with indexing? cause i saw somewhere saying it does... darn i cant remember where is the site.. but its just about 2 or 3 days ago..
thanks tony.. saw that before.. but recently some webmster did try and maybe it could be coincident but that guy say his site got index and old pages cache got renewed...
Your site will always get indexed if you have enough backlnks,.. I dont think personally Adsense Media bot has got anything to do with indexing, its main job is to deliver relevant ads!
Well, I had always thought the same thing, but I have the results from mediabot visits showing up in the results, proven by the time stamp on the Google search cache date being identical to the time the mediabot visits. http://www.jensense.com/archives/2006/04/adsense_mediapa.html It doesn't seem to work on new pages, only pages that are already in the index.
yeah see the site i was talkin bout is the one jen links to i havent dig through my log files yet... but either way... its scary if mediabot influence anything related to serps at all... its so easy to manipulate them...
from my log,, it's the same IP bot, but do different job (send different UA) The bot will first grab sitemap file. Only 'adsense bot' visit the new page that I have in everyday (maybe for give the relevant ads.), but 'google bot' visit old page and not even touch the same page each time they visit! So that why I think adsense bot not help.
Very Cool! I've learned something new today already, and it's only 10:08am I can go back to bed now ... see ya all tomorrow G'night Jen!
