Sign :disappointed: what am i doing wrong. Mine have been up for a very long time, couple of months and nothing has happened..

my archives are located at wcgateway.com/forums/archive

and the exact url i submitted to google was

http://www.wcgateway.com/forums/archive

i dunno maybe it hates me?

Maybe the spider is annoyed by the popups that are on your archive! :) Good looking archive. Have you submitted it again?

I have been so impressed that I uninstalled vBHome Lite in lieu of PHPPortal

I hate Google!
I submitted the link to the archive to google and put the link on my home page.
After 2 days 50 google bot were on my site during about 2 days.
After 2 more days I made a search and Google returns me more than 1,000 pages (before were 190), with more than 800 from the archive.
Now, after 1 week google returns me only 191 pages, with only 1 (the main page) from the archive.

Why?

What you saw was called everflux. Your pages were only in google for a short time, then taken out. This is common practice. Your pages will be re-added again at the end of the month, this time permanantely.

Nice setup. It will spider you soon, chances are, it already has and you don't even know it. Watch for a bunch of your pages to be added next update. Even if google did spider you, they wouldnt be added until the end of the month during the "dance".

In installing this hack I noticed that the categories link to a blank page rather than just showing as a category. If you search through index.php for this line: (around line 82)

echo "<li><a
href=\"forum/$forum[forumid].html\">$forum[title]</a><br><font
size=1>$forum[description]</font>";

and change it to:

if ($forum['cancontainthreads']==0) {
echo "<li>$forum[title]<br><font size=1>$forum[description]</font>";
}
else
{
echo "<li><a
href=\"forum/$forum[forumid].html\">$forum[title]</a><br><font
size=1>$forum[description]</font>";
}

Then the categories won't show up as a link to a blank page.

Thanks.

@Steve: thx for noticing, i've updated th file with that :)
