How is this working for everyone? Any results? I have it installed and saw a crawler today, but it didnt stay long....

Googlebot is swarming my forums right now so when the index is updated we should know if this works.

I have filbert1's template mod installed; therefore Google has already been crawling a lot of stuff. However, it never picked up the calendar or faq before. I put this hack in, and now my calendar is indexed on Google.

and google is registering, once again.

So far im showing no significant increase in google links, unfortunately. I will give it more time :)

any movement on this? i would like to know how effective it is to gauge whether or not i should install it! thanks...

Well after installing this, my google links dropped by 100, from 696 to 595. I was getting better results from a simple sitemap.

Not sure why this is, but obviously it doesnt work? Will wait for comments before uninstalling, but will take a month to fix the results with google.
