Does anyone know how to get mediapartners to recrawl a page? Ive tried adding more ads, altering channels etc. Reloading. ALot. Ive got 2 pages showing completely wrong ads because I changed the content. Ideas?
There's no specific way to cause a recrawl, no. If you want immediate change, the best thing you can do is rename the web page and redirect visitors from the old web page to the new one. But only do that if you just can't wait for the bot to come back.
That information is incorrect from what I've heard. You can induce a recrawl by changing the layout of the adsense ad on the page. Meaning if you have a 728 ad, put a 468 ad on it and you'll get a recrawl. Once you get it then put back the 728. You should get a second recrawl and you're all set.
I'll give that a try sometime when I have the time, unless someone else can confirm it. There's certainly no explicit "ping" method.
ive tried adding link units, search bar, and added a new content unit that was not used on that page before. No new crawls.
Yeah, I haven't seen anything specific trigger it besides the passing of time. That said, I think blog pages are crawled more often generally than static pages, so if Google's blog bot is fetching your pages that may trigger quicker reads by the media bot.
When you say you tried it do you mean you changed an existing unit or you added new ones only? What I heard was that you had to specifically change the unit. Also, how do you know you haven't been visited? Are you following the logs or only looking at the ad targetting of the page?
That won't work...I've done a lot of modding to my ads and that's never occured. What does work though? Lots of requests...i.e. lots of visitors, not just you clicking on refresh. as well...here's a trick, put a link to the page you want crawled in your sig at DP. The cache will get updated quickly.
