    Google search results for my vBulletin topics

    When searching Google, it seems that their bots have captured the wrong content. For the brief description exert I would expect to see the content of that particular topic, but all I see is the custom message I have set up for non-registered members. Should I be creating a robots.txt ? What should be inside the file in order to ensure that the robots take exerts from the actual content of that particular topic?

      Google does tend to pick up those guest notices, particularly on resyults that are just linking to the main page. The key there is to change the guest notice to make it relevant to your site content, instead the default stuff about "you need to register before you can post" which just puts people off.
