Have Googlebot Crawl EVERYTHING (theoretically)

Version: 2.3.x Rating:
Released: 03-24-2003 Last Update: Never Installs: 107
Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

Googlebot supposedly won't crawl links that have sessionhashes (32 character hex strings) in the URLs. So this hack detects when Googlebot is browsing your forum, and if it is, deletes the sessionhash. So, theoretically, Googlebot will be able to crawl every single guest-accessible link on your board. All of them. This means every thread, every forum, every post, even useless stuff like the memberlist and the FAQ.

Simple to install (1 step). This won't get instant gratification because Googlebot will only reindex your site on its next crawl.

I dont really mind if a smart user can get in without registering - my forums arent private I just like to know who is using them. But the true value is of course in having as many threads as possible in Google to attract new users.

Forgot it, I can't stand looking at sessions.php after trying for an hour.

Hmm, theres a similar hack for this in Tech's vB Archive hack that also includes several searchbots, not just google.

You dont need to install vB Archive for the sessionhash stripping, you can find it in this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...706#post342706

Just add a small function to functions.php and edit global.php and it strips all sessionhash's from search bots.

Also nice hack though filburt.

this is not working for me. At the top of my home page I get...
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), "googlebot") != false) { unset($session['sessionhash']); }

any suggestions?
