Also need this for vB 4.0.x

allowing spiders access to content guest can't see = cloaking = google ban
Cloaking, sneaky Javascript redirects, and doorway pages

stay away from this mod ;)

Does it talk about illegality of asking people to register on your page for free, then showing them the page? I think we should put a stop to this cloaking idea r lets say nonsense. Spiders separate permissions is something standard and working in phpBB and as said above no one ever never has heard of a page of phpBB based forums to be blocked by any search engine.

BTW waiting for vB 4 version impatiently.

It seems very clear to me there is valid use for this mod and potential for abuse. If you use this mod to restrict what googlebot can see you're 100% in the clear. If you use this mod to give googlebot access to private forums then you are playing with fire.

That said I don't care about googlebot, I'm wondering does anyone know how I could use this mod to give only the google adsense bot access to "private" forums? Basically I want ad-sense to act like a logged in registered user, this is not against any TOS, in fact it is encouraged. Google's own authentication/log in system doesn't seem to work with vBulletin.

I?m waiting for vB 4 version impatiently too :up::up:

You should follow your own advice and take the depression-fueled
moral & ethical crusade with you. This wasnt your thread.

Wow. Who's the "child" here? :erm:
Its you that actually sounds like a toddler on a rampage.

i am trying to install the linkchecker add-on...in the instruction text doc is says to first add this mod....wat do they have to do with each other?

is there any other link checker add-ons that someone can recommend where you do not have to mess with all of this?

Foru vbulletin version 4 ?
