I know, phpBB has an ability to define different permission for the Bots and guests, and I've never heard any phpBB forum has been banned by Google yet.

That supports the interpretation that this mod is OK.

It seems obvious to me that Google's intent is to ensure people don't mislead search engines with content that doesn't exist, such as when you click on a google result you get taken to a malicious website, not the website and content you wanted to see.

Locking content behind a username/password is not changed, malicious or misleading content.

As was mentioned earlier in this thread, newspapers and television stations regularly do this. A news story will be visible in a search result, but when you click the link to the website, you can't see it unless you register and log in.



That said, I have a question about this mod.

My website requires users to log in. This mod allows you to assign search bots to a usergroup, but does it bypass the login requirement? In otherwords, does it show bots private forums without them logging in?

Google specifically asks webmasters to give Googlebot access to restricted pages. I have seen this at various Google webmaster blogs and webmaster help pages. However, you must show the whole access page/thread to the visitors. Any other pages may be restricted from the visitors.

First Click Free is also what webmasterworld.com is using.

I hope this clears it up.

Ziki would you consider to add First Click Free functionality?
