Recently, WebProNews ran an article discussing deep scans by Google bots and the majority of the speculation pointed towards the upcoming
PR update. Now that this quarter's update is complete, Googlebot appears to be going at a far greater rate. Much faster and deeper than Yahoo.
My experience is that it is also tracking `specific identity' matches to sites it has indexed.
For example I own the MOSAIC PORTAL which is multiple listed, some 110 times by Google. I recently noted that if I responded in any type of forum with my user name "KEVINRBECK", a link to that article would appear quite quickly on the Google listing.
Goggle did not care of the search entry was my name KEVINRBECK or any file associated wityh it or web site, it had cross indexed them.
As I created new web pages under the identity "KEVINRBECK" it also cross referenced those to the master listing.
It was doing this extraordinarily quickly.
My main site is on Bigpond Telstra Australia but I have just created a set of 50 new sites on the US based DelphiForums server. I want to see how quickly Google will index these back to my identity name and the MOSAIC PORTAL.
To find cross refenced links to other sites Google has to search across thousands of sits on whole pages and the cross references to reciprocal sites and web rings are not always in the same place on every page.
