How many pages does your forum have in Google?

Hi Erwin,

thanks for the response.
Currently i'm using vB2.3.0 with the
robots.txt Manager. I've modified them so bots can only view showthread.php and now i've to wait till some bots come back and begin spidering.

Maybe we'll get more hits when the upgrade to vB3 is done, but this will not happen until RC1 has released.

lol, if Dean didn't notice I couldn't realize this is an very old thread ^^.

a very weird thing happen when I search like Erwin said: the 1st time I did it shows about 25 links, the 2nd try and so on gave me 5, I couldn't understand it.

well I got little links because I use robots.txt to prevent spiders, I don't have much bandwidth to waste...

Do I win?

My site's just used by a 50 mile area of my country.

Results 1 - 10 of about 45,200 for allinurl:dragonninja.co.uk. (0.29 seconds).

Only Erwin's got more than that - and I imagine he has a site like everyone else aimed at a wordlwide potential audience.

What's my secret...?
