Yandex Fastbot: crawling and indexing

How the two stages of indexing in Yandex work and why fresh pages sometimes drop out of the results.

Two stages of indexing

Fastbot picks up fresh content almost instantly but keeps it in the results only temporarily — until a full re-index by the main crawler.

Why pages drop out

  • The material did not confirm its quality during the main indexing.
  • Duplicates and weak uniqueness.
  • Technical accessibility errors.
