Webmaster tools crawl stats

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

I have a clients site that was having aprox 30 - 50 pages crawled regularly since site launch up until end of Jan.

On the 21st Jan the crawled pages dropped significantly from this average to about 11 - 20 pages per day.

This also coincided with a massive rankings drop on the 22nd which i thought was something to do with panda although it later turned out the hosts had changed the DNS and exactly a week after fixing it the rankings returned so i think that was the cause not panda.

However i note that the crawl rate still hasn't returned to what it was/previous average and is still following the new average of 10-20 pages per day rather than the 30-50 pages per day.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is ?

I have since added a site map but hasnt increased crawl rate since

A bit of further info if it helps in any way is that In the indexed status section says 48 pages ever crawled with 37 pages indexed. There are 48 pages on the site.  The site map section says 37 submitted with 35 indexed.

I would have thought that since dynamic site map would submit all urls

Any clarity re the above much appreciated ?

Cheers

Dan

Hi EE3

Sorry but im not otherwise would have done so already.  If it was one of my own projects then no problem but its a client

Hi Dan,

If you're comfortable with it, post your client's website and sitemap link here for people to take a look at.
