Is putting/removing Adsense ads on the site affects crawling for seo?
-
Because I noticed when we totally remove Adsense ads on our site, the pages crawled per day on the google webmastertools suddenly dropped into noticable amount and we tested again to turn it on for a singe day, it jumped up again. So if Adsense affects crawling then, if we have adsense ad on all pages of the site the more chances it gets crawled by the bot?

AdSense uses another bot to read your pages content and then serve ads based on the content. That's why you are getting a higher crawl rate when you have adsense installed and the drop when you remove it.

Adsense is crawled by media bot.

Thanks! another question, so the crawl stats on Google webmastertools also counts the number of crawled pages per day by adsense bot?
