vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Is installing two different forum archives considered spamming by Google?

Hi Everyone...

I just finished installing vbArchive on my VB forum. In late June (about 1 1/2 months ago), I installed VB Easy Archive.

I installed vb Archive (in addition to VB Easy Archive) because it seemed that Google stopped cataloguing my pages about 3 weeks ago from the Easy Archive site, and I thought that Google was perhaps having trouble interfacing with the software.

I was wondering whether different search engines respond to different archive scripts?

I also installed another one line change in session.php file (graciously provided by filburt) that would apparently make the actual forum threads themselves be readable by Google....

Each of the forum archive scripts have different templates, but I was wondering if Google or other search engines would register these semi-repeated pages as Spamming?

I don't want to SPAM, but at the same time, I want to have as many pages catalogued as possible.

Here are links for my forum's two archive sites:

Thanks for the feedback,

Khashyar
