#9. Mediapartners-Google has a role as the Googlebot?

Once we add the AdSense of the Google in our site, the site is often accessed by the crawler, Mediapartners-Google/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html). Let's verify the difference between the Mediapartners-Google/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) and normal Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html). Are they identical?

I filled in a script that outputs date and time when crawler accesses in my pages. Then I can see date and time when I check the cache of the Google. (We can see date and time at the bottom of cash source.) Based on the access log, I can recognize if the crawler accesses my page at that time is the Mediapartners-Google or the Googlebot.

If they have the identical roles, sites can be the fresh crawl typed sites (it shows date as a result of search) when we simply add the AdSense.

However, I understood the each role is different at the result of my verification. Only the Googlebot appears to get the cash. That is the Mediapartners-Google visiting site doesn't mean the site targeted by the fresh crawl. The reason the Mediapartners-Google isn't indexed by the Google even if it accesses to pages everyday is due to the difference of the roles.

This Mediapartners-Google seems to visit pages once the AdSense is put on pages. That only judges theme of pages since the AdSense automatically delivers ads targeted to content on a page-by page basis.

How should we get our site the fresh crawl site? To be verified next time.
