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!

lol. I uploaded the files and had this hack working in under 5 minutes. I don't know how it could have been any easier!!! Awesome hack... can't wait till google's next update so I can see all my threads spidered

Would you kindly help a bit skuzzy ???
yeah i'll help you as much as I can... what do you need help with? You're running apache? What version? This hack is the easiest one i've installed in all of vb.org... so it's probably just something small that you're missing... or else it's not compatible with your server for some reason. if you'd like me to send you all 3 files, the way I have them customized (so you can see a working modified version of it), e-mail me at support@battleforums.com and i'll send them to you in a .zip file, so you can see how I have them. BTW, my archives can be seen at http://www.battleforums.com/archive
It works very good but it does not have an effect. Google machine had spiderd my site with this new archive. The archive site is in the google-index (archive/index.php) but all of the rest are not in the google-index.
