Hi, <br /> <br />Just saw something on my Who'se Online page that has me a bit worried. <br /> <br /> []http://www.nanaplaza.com/online.gif[/] <br /> <br />That Moderator board is Moderator/Admin-only, so how can an anonymous user access it, let alone be reading it? <br /> <br />Sanuk! <br /> <br />PS This 'user' is a Googlebot, btw. <br />

They are probably just seeing the 'You do not have permission to view this board' message.<br /><br />I am guessing it is following another link from somewhere.<br /><br />Log on with another user (non moderator) using another browser, and you should see the same.

Do you have google ads. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />That's a google IP - they try to load each URL you look at so the ads can display. But as Ian says, they are seeing an error message. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, then since the google ads try to "read" the page to find keyword specific ads to display - every page that a user views, a google spider will also view.
