These two bots seem to have taken up permanent residence if you look at the who's online page.
As someone who doesn't normally buy/run forums I don't know if it's normal. Is it? Or have I screwed up with the URIs and the bots are being served an infinite number of duplicate content pages?
This is pretty normal dont fret, once these leave MSN bot and a few others will take residence
Thanks, mpcovcd.
Might be a good idea to block certain forums from bots, like where members discuss sites currently for sale.
You mean the Buy / Sell / Trade / Employ ? I'm hoping that eventually members will start using that to post their own offerings whether they're looking to sell a site or employ a PHP programmer. Wouldn't they want it to be crawled?
yeah that would be the one I guess. I agree if people list sites for sale they definitely would want them to be indexed. Maybe you can do another closed forum then where we could discuss currently available for sale sites. E.g. if someone wants some help with dd on a purchase, or other similar things where people would share details they usually don't want others to see freely.. Just an idea, up to you of course
I'm here only to click the right buttons and press the right keys. You are going to decide how this forum develops. Over to the others - your thoughts?
