do you have a current google search hack?

Thanks

This seems to be working for me but I get one of these at the top and bottom of the page:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in......

Ok, so you get 1 zillion spots on google, whats that
mean? abosoulely nothing.. sure I am indexed on
google and some others, so? so far, the only way
they can find me is if the EXACT domain name is
entered, then big deal, your listing will come up,
what does that mean? that means that everyone has to
already know your exact domain to pull your listing,
but if thats the case, why even search it at all,
i have tried countless words that surround my
domain name, NOTHING, pulls everything ones and
his brothers site, but not mine... unless you can get
number 1 in all engines, you are nothing on the net.

so how come i can find my site only pulling my
domain name, but not with keywords, if you
cant find my site with keywords then you will
never be found but by accident.

I have had 1 domain for years, and it is just
now being indexed by some of the engines, last
but not least, if you do not enter the exact
domain name, you will never find me.

so what if you are indexed 1 million times...
it really means nothing if you cant be
found by keywords...

hvacr, what's your exact site and forum url?

Just because you can't find your site on google by doing keyword searches, doesn't mean others will have the same problem. There could be a few reasons:

1. You're not doing a proper keyword search
2. You're not giving google the proper amount of time to properly index your site

Again, post your site and forum, and let us see if we can get some searches to pop up on google.

although, this is the newest site that i am
using with this script, the funny thing is
that one listing has shown for the actual
site itself, but not from the script...

http://www.forumschat.net

right now the only way that i have
found it is with direct domain search on google.

hvacr, I just checked your site, and you have a total of 8 posts for your entire forum. That's the answer. I'm guessing you simply don't have enough content to have your actual forum pages show up in google.

Google may spider your pages, but they don't always include all pages in their index. Only google really knows the true criteria as to what they use to have pages show up. With only 8 posts on your forum, most of which have less than 30 words or so, google probably just doesn't feel that it adds to their engine to have your forum listed at this time.

I have been using SkuZZy's archive hack since March of this year and it has been wonderful.. BUT now I am getting worried.. What is going to happen to our links when we upgrade to vb3?

Please see and respond in this thread: (It may apply to all archive hacks)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...353#post450353

They all will be renewed, because vb3 has his own archive wich can be spidered.

I understand that, but if the links in the archive are different at all, wouldn't the Search Engine drop the then dead links and start re-indexing the new?

Does SkuZZy's archive hack archive the exact same way as Teck's and what vb3 is using?

I have the same problem:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/mydomain/public_html/forums/archive/index.php on line 116

Has something to do with the inlcude files so I just put in the raw code for the header and footer and works fine without the header.php and footer.php. Small inconvenience.
