OK there is a point where the archive can work too well. I was getting hundreds of off-topic hits from Google searchers thanks to the spidering of my off-topic chat areas. The last thing I want is to expand the off-topic areas and get more general chatters in, so I added disallows to my robots.txt to the chatting archives and I made the actual archive threads offlimits in showthread.txt.. One question:
Will Google DE-list my pages once they are disallowed there?
I'm getting great results for things like:
