Have Googlebot Crawl EVERYTHING (theoretically)
![]() Developer Last Online: May 2007 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
Googlebot supposedly won't crawl links that have sessionhashes (32 character hex strings) in the URLs. So this hack detects when Googlebot is browsing your forum, and if it is, deletes the sessionhash. So, theoretically, Googlebot will be able to crawl every single guest-accessible link on your board. All of them. This means every thread, every forum, every post, even useless stuff like the memberlist and the FAQ.
Simple to install (1 step). This won't get instant gratification because Googlebot will only reindex your site on its next crawl. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

Excellent
![]() One note: This may not allow Google to see all of your posts (theoretically). If you have old ones that would not naturally show up on forumdisplay, Google will not use the select box to see all of the old posts. Elegantly simple though and makes perfect sense. /me clicks install

On my site I require registration for users to view threads. Is there a way to allow Google to become a "registered" user so it can crawl all threads still?

Yes but smart users can get around it...
edit: actually I thought of a way to fix that, too. Expect that hack eventually. note to self: check first few IP bits and HTTP_USER_AGENT, update $bbuserinfo. No members have liked this post.

I dont really mind if a smart user can get in without registering - my forums arent private I just like to know who is using them. But the true value is of course in having as many threads as possible in Google to attract new users.

Hmm, theres a similar hack for this in Tech's vB Archive hack that also includes several searchbots, not just google.
