search engines do not see signaturesPosted: Tue Jan 01, 2008 12:39 pm    Post subject: search engines do not see signatures

Code:
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><!-- IF postrow.SIGNATURE --><div id="sig{postrow.POST_ID}" class="signature">{postrow.SIGNATURE}</div><!-- ENDIF --><!-- ENDIF -->


I already have such line which means that guests do not see signatures, how to make signatures not visible for search engines too? Rolling Eyes because when I click on results "Cached", I can see that search engines find those signatures.

Thanks for the help and I hope you understand Wink

It's because bots are logged in users.

Use :
Code:
<!-- IF S_REGISTERED_USER -->...<!-- ENDIF -->


If you want both bots and guest not to see something and :

Code:
<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT -->...<!-- ENDIF -->


if you only want to hide something to bots, but be careful, this is going close to cloaking where the first solution is not.

so that means If their are certain forums which i don't want google to see In fact I dont want any one but my registered member to see, It will be counted as cloaking by google and other search engine?

Well not exactly, the only matter could be if you allow bots to crawl private forums (eg non visible by guests), cause it would technically be cloaking.

About the signature, I was just mentioning that filtering content for bot is cloaking where filtering for guest is not.
