Googlebot

[Dakota]

After waiting impatiently a Googlebot dropped by my site. But it was only a 7.4kb visit. Thats about 1 page without graphics. Any ideas as to why?

Hi,

 

Thats correct. Looking at my site:

 

main site: Gogglebots: 28 Bandwidth: 16.25 KB

one of my subdomains which is very heavy in graphics Gogglebots: 38 Bandwidth: 6.5 mb

Another one has 1 googlebot and 1k

 

Adding them all together, it adds upto 120 some odd gogglebots with just under 9 megs worth.

 

But i know it works cos my site is well refrenced in google so I would not worry

Don't worry. Google will index your site, but it needs some good links pointing back to your website. As more sites link back to your website, the frequency of googlebot will increase. Google has several robots, which visit websites. It also helps google to detect sites using techniques like cloaking, etc.

 

If you do not receive enough reciprocal links, google will take months to index your full site. So start exchanging links with other sites and submit your site to Yahoo and Dmoz.org

Dakota:

 

You site is not presently indexed in Google. Your visit was the result of Google's fresh crawl 'finding' your site from an existing indexed page linking to you. This generally means that you are in the queue for another crawl (which will be deeper).

 

There will be actually a serious of crawls (different frequency and depth) before you are actually indexed but the good news is you have begun the process. Now how well your site is ranked for a given keyword phrase is an entirely different ball game.
