Code:

Step 3

=================================================================================



This step is to redirect human visitors to your actual threads.

When people do a Web/Google search and when they 

click on the search result (note, Search Engine only index our archive 

pages now), instead of taking the visitors to the plain archive pages. 

The visitor will be taken to the actual forum threads!



This step involves change of code. There are number of places you need 

to change. I have include the diff result between the final files and 

original files. Two files involved are archive/global.php and archive/index.php



You can use the coloured diff: diff_for_modified_vb_files.zip

or use the plain old diff: diff_global.php.txt and diff_index.php.txt

(It will be appreciated if someone can write a step by step instruction

to change these two files):)



For the archive/global.php file. I added output compression to save 

bandwidth. I have also got rid of the pda links.



Please post your questions to the thread and click Install.

I can honestly say that my opinion is reversed on the cloaking side of things. I do not recommend implementing step 3.

Yes, jagger could be the main cause.

It's just not worth the risk and there are better ways to do it anyway. My archive now works like a sitemap, so visitors and spiders are redirected to the actual threads with a legit redirect. This actually works pretty good as we can see, our pages in google did go from 600 to 15000 in a few weeks.

You can do this yourself or use vbseo like I did. It's not cheap though

for security purpose & instant of giving 777 for base vB directory,
you can upload an empty file to base vB directory (as sitemap.xml) with 666 ..

noob question, but is this hack exclusive to 3.5.1 or would this work in 3.5.0 too?

I got a problem here.
The forum url is domain.com/forums/
and archive domain.com/forums/archive/

I changed the directory such that the forums and archive is writable(#777). But when i call up the function in the browser...i get the following error... What might be the reason?

"The directory containing /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mallupride.com/httpdocs/forums/archive/forums_sitemap.php cannot be world writable. "

Could it be that spiders are no longer redirected to the archive when having upgraded to 3.5.1? Before upgrading, it worked great, but now spiders are showing up crawling the regular threads.

I installed the extension..and its been 2 weeks, still google crawls only the main page and the search results are shown frm the main page.
I am using vbadvanced and vb3.5.0
The sitemap is been properly generated n submitted on a daily basis.Wot could have gone wrong?
The google result shows the following.

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.mallupride.com/&hl=en

Thanx in advance!
