Google AdSense Servers Tripling My Traffic?
I threw some AdSense ads on my site the other day. I don't think I'll be getting rich any time soon though. I'm up to 58 cents so I figure I'll be seeing a check from Google in about 8 years. :) Anyway, while troubleshooting an error in my blogCFC I noticed I kept getting each error E-mail three times. Looking at the User Agent showed that "Mediapartners-Google" was hitting every URL I hit twice. Incidentally, I have two Google ads on every page of my site.

The AdSense crawler is separate from the GoogleBot crawler, so I'd say that if you've just put ads on the site and the AdSense crawler hadn't had a chance to look at your site it would have needed to hit the page immediately on a page view (hitting it twice seems a little strange) so that it could put something in its index. After the initial hit it should just crawl and index your site every so often rather than as pages are being viewed.

@Justin: That may well be. it needs to index a little better though. Right now I'm looking at ads for workout equipment, the revolutionary war, Yahoo.com (in a Google ad??), wine, and recycling. I can't say any of those have much to do with a tech blog. Oh well. :)
