CLUAS in 'Google-likes-us-again' shocker

Two weeks ago I posted a blog entry about how Google had, all of a sudden, dramatically reduced the number of CLUAS.com pages it crawls in a day (it dropped from an average of thousand pages a day to about 25 a day, see the graph below).
I put this down to be something to do with the fact that CLUAS stopped running Google ads for 3 weeks in April. I predicted that once the Google ads were back up and running (as they were two and a bit weeks ago) all would return to normal. A quick check earlier today in CLUAS.com's Google "Webmaster Tools" account and I saw that (for once!) a prediction of mine was on the money. Google is once again crawling a daily average of 1000 pages on CLUAS. Check out the graph below for the evidence that Google is still all chummy-wummy with us.

again, I'm seeing _exactly_ the same thing for taint.org. I suspect this is a general thing (proof by induction!)

Interesting Justin. I have been assuming it was something to do with the fact we dropped Google ads for a while, but your site does not run Google ads, so maybe no connection between CLUAS dropping the ads and the drop in Google bot activity as reported in the Webmaster Tools console.
