Hi everyone,

I know this thread hasn't been active for a while but i'm looking for an answer relating to a similar issue. Our infrastructure team had issues a few weeks ago and were routing bot traffic to a slave server. This obviously flagged up 403 errors in webmaster tools.

Having removed the traffic diversion our site hasn't been indexed in the three weeks since serving Googlebot with a 403 response. Does anyone have experience of Google delaying reindexing of a site after experiencing a 403 response?

Thanks
