If you don't allow Guest Access then Google can not index your forum.

There are ways around this that some sites employ, but it is quite complex to setup and requires getting the IP addresses of all the Google Bots, then using IIS to grant these IP addresses access.

You still then have problems with Google cashing the page so that people can use the Google Cache to view content they shouldn't as well as people faking IP addresses of Google Bots to gain Access.

I'm sure there is more on this if you do a search on Google, but it not something that is easy to setup and will take allot of research into the subject to get it right.

That is correct, Google will only index the page seeing the same as a Guest can, as the Google spider doesn't have the ability to login into forums before indexing them.]]> Tue, 23 May 2006 08:43:39 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/active-users-issue-v-8-rc1_topic18846_post107567.html#107567 <![CDATA[Active Users Issue v. 8 RC1 : OK so I will add the robots.txt...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/active-users-issue-v-8-rc1_topic18846_post107549.html#107549 Author: jckruger

OK so I will add the robots.txt file to the root of my server.
 
What you were saying is that it was trying to view my calendar as it is viewable to guests but that is as far as it got due to everything else having registered only permissions?

This is the Google search bot, NOT the Google Adsense bot, which is completely different, the Google Search Robot indexs your site for inclusion in the Google search engine.

The Google Bot can only index whatever a Guest can view.

Blocking an IP address will just mean that anyone with that IP address has Guest only privileges on the board.

If you don't want Google to index your site then you would be better off adding a robots.txt file to your web site.

Google has a list of intructions of what to add to the robots.txt file so that Google won't index your site, or folders on your site.

In version 8.01 the Google Ads have been removed and replaced with Web Wiz Guides own ad system, so you shouldn't have Google Adsense coming to your site unless you place your own Google Ads on the page.
 
I now have V8.01 and have just noticed in the statistics page on the control page that the googleBot is here again.

I have checked that there is no guest permissions on any of the topics.
 
What might be allowing this to happen?
 
I have even added the IP range to the block IP option for
 
66.249.*
 
Is this the correct format for adding block ranges or do I have to quote around it i.e. '66.249.*'

It can only read the content of the page for those forums that have Guest access to that forum.

In version 8.01 the Google Ads have been removed and replaced with Web Wiz Guides own ad system, so you shouldn't have Google Adsense coming to your site unless you place your own Google Ads on the page.

Does that mean it is reading the content of the page?. I'm not sure I want that as there will be some sensitive information being posted. Will the licensed option remove that?

Or is it that I am using Version 8.0 RC1.1?. I have just downloaded Version 8.1 and will change it to that tonight

Please let me know as I wish to set this up for an animal rescue group for members only and not to be indexed for public viewing

 
Thanks in advance
