It uses the vbulletin $show['search_engine'] to allow in the major search engines that in the same fashion that vbulletin uses that to hide certain things from spiders.

I was checking out this hack, and wonder if it complies with the Adsense Terms.

I'm not hack crapping by any means.

It's just my understanding that Adsense advertising is meant to be placed with content, not on redirect pages.

Yups adsense needs to placed in the places where there is content !! not on redirects...i warn members not to place adsense :)

Are you sure spiders will not see this? Just had some Jeeves spiders viewing an error message when crawling my threads.

you are right. I have a bunch of google viewing no permissions for the threads.

Yeah this may increase your revenue but it's a little too risky for me in terms of SEO.

If the spiders situation gets fixed, I am planning to put in the latest threads titles in there to satisfy Google contents requirements.

Interesting on the spider issue. I have google and yahoo spidering both of my sites without and trouble.
