I am tired of my 200,000 posts not being listed in Google. I was inspired by phpbuilder.com this morning and I wrote:

vbSpiderFriend - the search engine indexer for all of your posts

Purpose: Allow search engine spiders to crawl a linked list of all of your posts.

Project Requirements:

-Friendly URLs (no query strings)
-Good dynamic meta tags
-Never have to touch the script again.. It is Y3K compliant, simply re-submit to the engines to update your listings

Install Requirements:

-vBulletin 1.x or 2.x
-about 10 minutes


1) Download the attached Zip.

2) Open class.mysql.php and put your database login info at the top.

3) Create a new directory called archive under your forum, like /forum/archive

4) Open the included .htaccess and change the Error 404 to your new archive path.

5) Open index.php and change the self-explanatory variables at the top of the file.

6) Upload all 3 files to your archive directory.

7) Submit /forum/archive/index.php to search engines and watch em crawl


DISCLAIMER: I don't use 2.x but I checked the schema and this should work fine.

NOTES: This uses ErrorDocument and query string parsing to get the variables needed. I do not have the time or energy to troubleshoot this if it does not work on your server. Sorry!

I hope you are wrong... and I am afraid you might be right ...

Hi,

I searched on google for www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/

and I got this answer.....

Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/

If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/
Find web pages that contain the term "www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/"

I tried clicking on that link that says : Find web pages that contain the term "www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/"

and it gave me this :

Your search - "+www.mydomain.com/vb/archive/" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.


that means that my archive url has not even been indexed or crawled by google .... right ???

that means my submission to google is still in the queue and has not been crawled yet, right ???

it means that your archive/index.html page is not in the Google index, it does not mean it has not been crawled though.

Google crawls sites and then determines which pages are worthy of being included in it's index.

this site can be of more help to you >>

Unfortunately, this script doesn't work at all. I've given up on it now. After watching google come to my site time after time and sit at the index.php file and never go any deeper, I finally realized why. This script uses 404 errors to redirect. Google loads the archive page and thinks it's seeing a custom 404 page, so it doesn't spider any deeper (for obvious reasons). So i've removed this hack completely.

I've now installed a new hack (originally written by xenon who is awesome!!!) and you guys can view it at http://www.battleforums.com/history (note: mine has been modified a bit... you can view an unmodified copy at http://www.noxmedia.net/support/archive )

I'd recommend those of you who want to get spidered, give up on this hack and install xenon's. Google hasn't spidered it yet, but i'm confident they will. The reason xenon's hack works much better is because it doesn't use .htaccess (mine uses htaccess, but the original one @ noxmedia DOESNT), error redirects or even mod_rewrite. Xenon hasn't released it officially though (I don't think) and I don't think he wants to and I know for sure he isn't offering tech support on it... so the scripts are pretty much untested and in beta, but for those of you who want it, you can PM xenon and ask nicely.

It's too bad it took me two months to figure out that overgrow's hack didn't work. For those reading this, hopefully it will save you the time wasted of installing this script and you can go straight to another hack. There are several others out there as well that do work. If you don't want to install an archive, then try FastForward's hack or Filburts recentely released hack (@ vbulletin.com).

Sorry that it didn't work out for you, but the hack does work, and it helped me to get my site indexed...

Just a sample: http://www.google.de/search?q=m%C3%B...-8&hl=de&meta= (random pick)

Xenon's hack does look good indeed, very sad, he doesn't want to release it.
cu,
