Google crawler

[fernandofgg]

Hi everybody

Appart from robots.txt in the root directory, is there any other place in admincp that I can block spiders for crawling specific forums

My question is because I have a forum that dont appear on google searches, maybe the old administrator block this forum from crawling but the strange thing is that I dont have robots.txt in the root directory, thats mean google is 100% opened to crwal the site

Where in admincp can block spiders for crawling specific forums?

Thanks in advance

Check to see if you have this mod installed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268208

...or the site could have been blacklisted in the past for any number of reasons.
