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.

Well, it has the same objective as vBArchive, it doesn't do everything it does.

Googlebot is swarming my forums right now so when the index is updated we should know if this works.

I have filbert1's template mod installed; therefore Google has already been crawling a lot of stuff. However, it never picked up the calendar or faq before. I put this hack in, and now my calendar is indexed on Google.

Well after installing this, my google links dropped by 100, from 696 to 595. I was getting better results from a simple sitemap.

Not sure why this is, but obviously it doesnt work? Will wait for comments before uninstalling, but will take a month to fix the results with google.
