I have a general idea of how web search engines work. Each sends a bot to various blogs and websites to index their words, tags, images, links and I'm sure a host of other things. If a site or blog is updated frequently and it's made it into a particular search engine's rotation, the site or blog will be indexed more frequently. That all seems fairly straightforward.
Here's the part I don't understand and, maybe, someone out there can explain it to me. The Google bot visits this blog several times per day, but it seems to go to the same posts over and over again. There are two or three posts that, by my estimation, the Google bot has visited at least 25 times each over the course of 4 months.
To my way of thinking, once a post has been indexed, it should be indexed. Why visit the same post 25 times? What could the bot find that it hasn't found before?

Your blog pages are dynamic apparently, meaning that there is always something changing in there, the blogroll, #of visitors, or whatever. Google has to re-index because it perceives changes.
