Help with understanding Googlebot...

    For some reason, Googlebot is not hitting my site as much as it used to and there are some keywords I'm no longer showing up under in SERPs...

    These changes happened after I changed content and website title. During that week I also started submitting 1 article a day to digg (7 in total). The article was posted on a subdirectory and at the end of each article, there was a link pointing back to the home page with a specific keyword. The article was a real article made for humans...

    Below are the hit counts from Googlebot: (data from AWSTATS)
    -May: 430+31
    -June: 7850+31
    -July: 16284+39
    -August: 2629+16 -- at this rate, I won't even break the July total...

    The domain has been registered for more than year -- On May there was a complete revamp of the website. -- End of July is when the index page and website title were changed...

    Am I being penalized for something...

    I dont understand Google. My site has PR5 and sites with less rank higher for the same keywords.
