Hi everybody. If you do not have Apache like me, don´t do this.
It will be just the matter of changing all those codes on the script and than you have to undo everything again!
I wanted so much to have my pages also showing on google 500 times, but no..
At least my forum is working normaly again 

thanks Ben!

Hey guys,
I wanted to get this topic going again because I feel it one of the most important ones I have read for some time on SMF...... and I have only just found it after repeated searches for "Google spidering etc."

By making SMF get indexed/crawled more often, everybody wins (SMF,website owners). It should be stickyed to the freakin home page!!!

www.testmy.net has more links than COCA FREAKIN COLA. Are you kidding me!!!

I think that says it all...... Not sure about the goose egg w/ msn but at 50k who cares.......

www.Coke.com             35,096    376    376    19,944    14,400

Back on topic.....

Hey Grodden,
What do we poor souls do about this then?
The whole reason for adding a forum to my site was to increase my search engine numbers.

Don't take this the wrong way guys, but I have noticed w/ some of the themes for smf that it seems to be designed around NOT wanting the spiders to crawl them???

ex, No index, no follow meta tags included in the aqua theme....

Why is that? More importantly, what do us non apache users do about it??

My forum is full of keyword rich content that is doing the main site little or no good and it could be........

Please make a module/script/package or anything but please lets not let this topic die......
