This doesn't appear to have worked well for me, traffic-wise.

Everything installed fine and I first submitted to all the search engines in September. About a week later I did get a lot of bots online - most seemed to be Inktomi or AltaVista, I only saw Google a couple of times. I did notice that most of the time they didn't go into the archive even though I submitted that url (and have a link to it on my homepage and forum). However that was it really. I resubmitted over the next couple of months - and have just done so now - but only get a couple of bots (not google) come around.

I checked to find how many listings I got - a mere 32. This was about the same as I had before I installed this hack, and none are from the archive. Also like the guy above said, I have to type my url to get them. None of the keywords bring me up. If people know my url they ain't gonna look for me on the search engine, so I'm beginning to wonder what the point is.

On the rare occasions the bots appeared to look in the archive in the online.php I never saw a 'clean' url listed, but one with a session cookie in it. I thought it wasn't supposed to do that?

Anyway, it's been 3mths now and for whatever reason Google isn't archiving me. As my forum isn't doing brilliantly at the moment I was hoping for more traffic from the Search Engines, but that isn't happening. I've just submitted the archive url and the home page again, but I'm probably not gonna bother anymore.

Aside from the fact it got me no traffic, the archive is cool to read if my connection is ever sluggish.
