Yes, this would be great for us. I don't think there is any reason why anyone would want a bot reading the same block of text over and over. Sure, you can place keywords into the text, but I think it would be better if the bot was reading the content of the page instead of a welcome header with keywords.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great hack and I love it, but here is where my problem lies -

For forums that focus on one subject, such as cars or planes it is easy to get keywords into your welcome text that relate to the page being crawled, because all pages basically are about the one subject.

But - my forums cover many subjects such as terrorism to tourism. It is hard to get keywords for all my subjects crammed into a welcome header.

So in my case it would be better to have the bot crawl the content of the page.

I think it would be great to have code placed into the hack somewhere that tells the bot to ignore the welcome header.

I can't write code, so I am at the mercy of the Guru's here.

Ted? :banana:

Thanks
