I wouldn't say *that* frequently. What's the point you're trying to make?

Yes, those are all URLs in the "robots.txt" file... sorry, but I still don't understand what point you're trying to make.

What did you mean by the "Google Robots Changes Frequently?" title?

I see. That's exactly what I said here:

<< Changes to Google’s robots.txt files

Google try their best to not index their own SERPs, so when they create a new service that could clutter up their index, they’ll usually add a new entry to their robots.txt file. (One of the most recent additions to the file was www.google.com/call, as Garett Rogers discovered.) By scheduling a simple script, you could easily monitor this file and be alerted of any changes. >>

Yep. I got a tracker script on Google robots.txt. Unfortunately I was sick during the last alert... Google Music Trends.
