I am tired of my 200,000 posts not being listed in Google. I was inspired by phpbuilder.com this morning and I wrote:
vbSpiderFriend - the search engine indexer for all of your posts
Purpose: Allow search engine spiders to crawl a linked list of all of your posts.
Project Requirements:
-Friendly URLs (no query strings)
-Good dynamic meta tags
-Never have to touch the script again.. It is Y3K compliant, simply re-submit to the engines to update your listings
Install Requirements:
-vBulletin 1.x or 2.x
-about 10 minutes
1) Download the attached Zip.
2) Open class.mysql.php and put your database login info at the top.
3) Create a new directory called archive under your forum, like /forum/archive
4) Open the included .htaccess and change the Error 404 to your new archive path.
5) Open index.php and change the self-explanatory variables at the top of the file.
6) Upload all 3 files to your archive directory.
7) Submit /forum/archive/index.php to search engines and watch em crawl
DISCLAIMER: I don't use 2.x but I checked the schema and this should work fine.
NOTES: This uses ErrorDocument and query string parsing to get the variables needed. I do not have the time or energy to troubleshoot this if it does not work on your server. Sorry!
