Wierd Googlebot activity going on..please explain
I recently redesigned one of my sites...it was sitting in the top 3 positions for a very highly competitive keyword....after i launched the new design, the rankings dropped severaly...i find my site on page 4 or 5 now....so, then keeping my new design, i keep on changing some bits and pieces every day to get my old ranking again..however my site doens't show a freshtag anymore and it is showing a very old cache...actually about a month old cache...the site is being visit by the google bots though...and the site has got quite a huge # of high PR backlinks too...so i dont know why it doesn't show the update cache everytime now....any ideas?

You need to be patient. Unless google crawls you everday all the time from other sites you have links from, you wont get updated in the serps that fast.

You dont get a freshtag just because it needs to index that new page and recognize it as new, changing it every 5 minutes and google coming back once or twice after isnt going to cut it.

Do changes, sit for a few weeks and watch what happens. Check your stats, ranks and links and make sure they're doing what you like "after" you see definate movement and changes either good or bad.

the site is an authorative site with lots of pages and backlinks...before this weird freshtag act, the site was showing fresh results and fresh dates on almost 300 of the pages...
its never happened before that a 1 month old cache is showing...

try running your url through a spider simulator tool and see if that gives you any clue as to what the problem might be.

Do the inbound links show on a google backlink check?

I have been waiting 2 months for a bucket load of PR5 to PR8 links to show up

How do you know?
Forgive the ignorance, but I am new to this. How can you find out which bots are crawling your website? How do you realistically find out? Chrs. Basil
