GoogleBot Came Today  Reply with quote  

I noticed in the admin panel that a guest here was doing some pretty odd stuff. I traced the guest's IP address and it turned out to be a GoogleBot crawling the forum. Unfortunately, phpBB forums and GoogleBots don't go too well together. I'm working on something that will help Google to index more of the forum. Session IDs and question marks in the URLs seem to cause a problem. Very Happy

If all works well, this would be good for both the forum and OEP.

Check this thread out on the phpBB main forum:

It covers this exact issue.

Thanks.

Yeah, I noticed that a few days ago, it's been a long time coming.

Although it is a shame that the PR of Open Site dropped down to 8. Sad

Yeah MusicMoz took a PR haircut too. Their main page is still a 9, but a lot of their high ranking category pages lost PR.


I think Google's downgrading the human edited directories. Evil or Very Mad

Actually, if you look at the World/ category of the ODP, many pages do not have sister site links. This is due to certain languages not updating a new language string yet... there are lots of pages in World/, so we've probably lost a lot of links to us! Wink
