Ya, exactly. Or they don't want to use up even more bandwidth.

Many forums that are setup for good SEO don't allow spiders to index showpost.php, so whole threads are indexed via showthread.php. On any big board that's setup like that, the indexed pages listed in Google will be much lower than the total posts on the forum.

Sites like Gaia Online just don't have to care about google. They've got more than they need, and probably more coming every day.

It's just good to not getting any extra load from spiders etc.

It makes me wonder about the capability of google to efficiently spider large boards. But a good sitemap.org solution should fix that.

Google uses artificial intelligence to spider pages, and may be up to 300 times more efficient than other spiders, using traditional algorithms. This efficiency is actually the main reason why Google needs so few bots compared to many other spiders. No matter what however, the bandwidth is the same ;)

Hi, I was wondering what makes some big boards be excluded from Google. Does Google penalize these boards for some reason?

No , Google hates sites with bad SEO. Of course, these huge boards don't care mutch about SEO, they got all the members ands visitors they need.

Offtopic.com doesn't show guests threads. Which is why their number is so low.

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:20 PM.
