Google Spiders Got A Bit Lazy in December; Crawling Lesser Web Pages
The Google Webmaster Tools dashboard has graphs indicating the activity of Google spiders on your websites. You get to know the number of pages that were crawled by Googlebots per day and some other details.
To see such graphs for your own website, open Google Webmaster Tools, go to Tools and then click Set Crawl rate.
Now if you look at the crawling stats for December in for your site, you may find that Google is spidering lesser number of web pages on your site. I checked this for two of my sites and the graphs followed a similar trend as the one above.
Since fresh content (or new web pages) almost immediately gets indexed in Google, this trend probably means that Google spiders are revisiting older web pages (pages already in Google’s index) at a much lower frequency.
Brett Tabke feels that Google was focused on some new ranking changes during December and a lot of their spidering and indexing was throttled during that period. Makes lot of sense.

yes you are right that nothing which is consistent would be consisntent tomorrow too but the fact that the more relevance search terms could be ble only by doing it by Google so why it wont crowel websites so often
seems their new google cagein has made so and as I checked my webmastertools, the websites which update frequently even with no important things inside of them would be crwaeled so often than those which maybe have so great info inside them but would be updated less often
I will provide you the screenshot of them to demonstrate those pointsI talked about
again thanks for the comment
