Mod Request: Assign Search Engine to User Group
Mod Request:
I would like a mod to where I could assign a search engine (gooblebot, etc) to a certain user group, like you can with Invision Power Board. From my experience with Invision Board, registrations are significantly increased for my forums when I do not allow Guests to read the forums. The more registrations I get the more money I make as my forum is for professionals in the real estate industry and I offer services to them. However if the Search Engines are restricted to the Guests group your forum will not be spidered if you don't allow Guests to read. Therefore I am requesting this Mod be made to where I could have the ability to assign the Search Engines to whatever user group I wanted. Note: I have mentioned this feature in this forum and Vbulletin.com before and the idea was met with disapproval by the Vbulletin staff, saying it resulted in "cloaking". I can only say that I used the feature for over 2 years with Invision and never had a problem, my site was well placed in search engines. It is a non-issue on the Invision forums, a search for "cloaking" over there did not bring up any negatives or problems experienced by having this feature. Surely if someone had a problem with it or got banned from the search engines, someone would have mentioned it. So I am asking someone to re-think this feature and consider a Mod for it. Like any other Mod a user "uses it at their own risk" and I for one would certainly use it, due to the past success with it. Thank you for your consideration! |

It IS cloaking!
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106927 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102539 There is nothing to replace rich content - except more interesting content. => Make you content readable by guests; if it's not worth it, then those forced to register to view it won't stay anyway. |
