Trouble with google spiders not getting past Vba

[joeychgo]

Not sure where to post this -- the folks at VBA suggested I post here....



Every time I see the google spider - it never gets past my vba page. It only says "index" - and I dont know why. (thats changed a little since I added adsense the other day)

My site is www.lincolnvscadillac.com --- any help would be appreciated.

Also- the ask jeeves spider also is not getting past the index- so its something in my vba page I think thats preventing the spiders from getting into my forums............

**cough** sessions **cough**

Google usually refuses to follow session-id'd links. Send Google to your ARCHIVES, and it'll have no trouble.


Also, someone should release a hack that turns sessions off completely for SpiderBots. Just an idea.

Off the top of my head, I have not ever witnessed a session being passed via a url with vB3. I think it only passes it if your cookies are off and you are not a spider.
Do guests have access to your forums?

Same problem over here... vBadvanced + spiderbots dont seem to be getting along...???

[Rick Sample]

maybe its just a problem with vbadvanced? Google went through mine for a whole 2 days indexing everything. A lot of other bots have, too.

thats my thinking.......... spidars would go to my vba page - then nowhere else........
