I got to watching Googlebot on my logs tonight, and mulling it over while we'veãbeen discussing it, and just wondering why it would hammer the FTP so bad.ãSeems like a waste of resources on their part.ããThen I noticed the 00index.html?$gnsiuo0i filenames. I noticed it changesãevery time, and I figure, maybe this is throwing Google off. You would thinkãthey would be smart enough to ignore anything after "?", but perhaps they madeãa mistake and haven't bothered to fix it, or it's just buggy for FTPãconnections and they can't be bothered to look at it. I don't know.ããAnyhow, looking at the code, I noticed that it's just a timestamp to killãbrowser caching. Has anyone tried removing the timestamp, and seeing if itãaffects Googlebot at all?ããJust in case, I went ahead and removed the timestamps (backing up my original,ãof course), and I'm waiting a while for Googlebot's cache to roll over. It'sãbeen about an hour, and it's still using the old timestamped links.ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Southeast Texas BBS -- setxbbs.synchro.netã
