Are your 404 errors on IIS6? I never did get the PHP spider mod to work on IIS6, had to do it without PHP and take the server hit.

I was never able to get it working under IIS 5 properly. The built-in spider friendly links in 6.7 will "cheat" and use a query string for the Accelerator - ultimatebb.php?/ubb/forum/f/1 and the like. This is still friendly to most spiders, which stop only after seeing multiple arguments. (I.e. right now they'll browse ubb=forum, but not ubb=forum&f=1)

That's not 100% true. I've had spiders crawl some of my PHP pages with multiple arguments...

I have just found a problem with this mod, Using 6.6.1 on a raq550 and "i386-redhat-linux-gnu"
The ultimatebb.cgi part of the hack ads "ubb->ultimatebb.cgi" to the $in hash when there is no options in the url. This cause 2 problems.
The first was it would not display the forum summary because it could not get a blank "ubb" key - I fixed this by adding in the old section from my older 6.3 version.
But the second problem caused the forum summary to only display the default html template - this was caused by the "&DetermineDefaultTemplates($in{ubb})" sub failing to return "summary_page" again due to the $in{ubb} containing "ultimatebb.cgi".
While i just typed that i realised that its because i have my cgi path set to ubb so anyone who dosnt have it set up like that wont have this problem.
Anyway i fixed it with "if ($in{"ubb"} eq "ultimatebb.cgi") {delete $in{"ubb"}};" but it is not checked for case so it may need tweaking for others who have this problem. (if there are any :s)

I've had this installed for a few weeks now and I've submitted ultimatebb.cgi directly to Google twice. So far nada, no extra hits when searching site:www.netwerkin.com netwerkin.com
Is there anything that I can be doing wrong? the board seems to run fine with the hack installed.

It can and will take some time for all of your links to spider. Think of it as threads on a set mark... It'll take and open your site and find links, then save them, if your site already has some threads listed it'll take and do the same on those, etc. The next time through it'll spider those doing the same, and again and again till your site is spidered completely. The more you have listed the more it'll spider each time.
At least that's my understanding on reading up on most spiders...

Hmmm, that makes sense, it seems that UBBDev was rolling after 4 days if I read the thread properly.

 It helps if you have make the default pages smaller - ~20 posts/threads per page will give the spiders more to work on and smaller pages, both of which they like and will help your content get spidered more completely.

A better way I've found is to just post here a lot. If I search for "alforadmin" on google, I get 86 results from my boards, and 101 from here

I'm just wondering, if this was Charles Capps work, is this perhaps going to be included in 6.7?

Why do I have this strange feeling that I'll be re-building Netwerkin soon? Oh well, at least I can fix a lot of the things that I haven't had time for.

make sure that these 2 steps were correctly done. In public_forum_summary.pl
FIND:
-------
my $pglnk = ($vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax} > 0 ? ";p=" . &round_up_always(($last_reply_number + 1) / $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) : "");
-------
REPLACE WITH:
-------
my $pglnk = ($vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax} > 0 ? "/p/" . &round_up_always(($last_reply_number + 1) / $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) : "");
-------
FIND:
-------
<a href="$ULTIMATEBB?ubb=get_topic;f=$x;t=$last_post_number$pglnk#$last_reply_post" $titler>$last_subject</a>
-------
REPLACE WITH:
-------
<a href="$ULTIMATEBB/ubb/get_topic/f/$x/t/$last_post_number$pglnk#$last_reply_post" $titler>$last_subject</a>

as far if I know, if you don't use the jctemplates, then delete them. Keep in mind I never used 6.3 and below

I installed this on 6.6.1 and it seems that the hack works fine with the accelerator off, but when I turn it on, I get blank white pages when I click on a post! Any clues?

Also another thing. If you close the board to only registered users ... meaning no one has access to the bulletin board only if they are registered and logged in ... will the search engines not be able to spider the bulletin board?
