Message from Google

    I went into my Google Webmaster Tools and the below message was in my account's message box:

    We've received a request from a site owner to change the rate at which Googlebot crawls this site: http://www.desireechocolates.com/
    - Old crawl rate: Normal
    - New crawl rate: Normal
    This new crawl rate will stay in effect for 90 days.


    Has anyone ever received a similar message from Google? Not sure what this is all about.

    Thanks, Karen

    It's refering too the tool located at Dashboard > Tools > Set Crawl Rate, someone changed it to the normal rate and it's telling you it will stay that way for 90 days. :)

    You can get some very strange error messages from Google. Three times I have contacted our developer about error messages and by the time he look into the matter it no longer there. I don't know if that's what is going on with your account, but strange messages come and go with Google.

    That's also correct.
    Well you should keep your credentials very secret.
