A suggestion, add "no follow" to all edit and reply buttons to prevent google from indexing pages like
/new_reply_form.asp?M=Q&PID=136&PN=1&TR=1
I can see that google spent all day indexing pages that the googlebot should not have access to. If you have a lot of threads then google will have hundreds of unneccesary links to follow
You may solve this by adding the "nofollow" attribute to the links on all quote, reply, login and add new buttons.
Examlpe, this is how it looks today:
...<a href="new_reply_form.asp?TID=360&PN=1&TR=1"><img src="forum_images/post_reply.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Post Reply"/></a>
<a href="new_topic_form.asp?FID=2"><img src="forum_images/new_post.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Post New Topic"/></a>...
|
To add a "nofollow" attribute on all links on a specific page use the meta tag:
<META name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
The meta tag above works but the drawback is that all links on that page is affected and if the forum is included on someones webpage this option may not be to popular. Another solution that might work (depending on the spider) is to add rel="nofollow" and class="robots-nocontent" to the links.
Example:
<a href="new_topic_form.asp?FID=2" REL="nofollow" class="robots-nocontent"><img src="forum_images/new_post.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Post New Topic"/></a>...

I have to mention that i use one of the older versions of the
forum, perhaps stuff has changed. Keep up the good work.
PS here you will find a list of all the lates google
activity on my website. Note that googlebot has spent
time indexing many of the reply.asp pages. Googlebot list here DS
