Hi guys,
I own http://minipcforums.com/. It’s a support forum designed in simplepress and I was wondering since it is a forum that requires you to register to be able to read posts, will search engines be able to crawl it? I heard that if you can’t read without registering then the search engines won’t either.
Thanks, Chris
a search engine crawler would be visiting the forum as a guest… if guests cannot read the posts, then the crawler wont be able to read them either…
but it does appear that you are allowing guests to view a forum list… so the crawler will see that main forum page too… and may try to index the links on that page… but it wont get any content…
