and now for something different...

, about the mod

I have always been led to believe that if Google indexes your site and adds the posts to their search, if a person clicks on a link in a Google search and get a "You can't see this" on your site then eventually Google will find out and black ban your site...I have heard this happening many times.

I use to use a "Guest first post only mod" on my 3.8 site without spider access and it hurt my Google ranking something chronic. Allowing spiders without allowing the post to be seen by a guest via a search engine link has been discussed many times at VBSEO and here on vb and every time it has resulted in "Don't Do It".

So can you advise why it would be different with this mod...thanks
