The Theory
Some people say that having Adsense ads
on your web site has the added benefit of
getting your site indexed quickly by
Google. They say this because, when you
put Adsense on your web site, Google sends
a bot to your pages.
The Test
We tested this theory by purchasing a
new domain name. The domain name has never
been promoted. It has no inbound links.
The site will not be promoted at all
during this test.
We left this web site up for exactly
one month to see if Google would index
it.
The Results
Almost immediately, Google sent a bot
called Mediapartners to this new web site.
No other bots came to the web site.
The web site was not indexed by Google
or any other search engine. Therefore we
believe that having Adsense on your web
site will not help you get indexed by
Google.
The Lesson
Google uses two bots. One is called
Googlebot and the other one is called
Mediapartners. The first bot's purpose is
to index web sites. The second bot is only
used to figure out what your web site is
about so it can make the ads more
targeted. Just because the Mediapartners
bot comes to your web site doesn't mean it
will get indexed. Your web site can only
be indexed by Googlebot bot.
