Re: MUDseek Search Engine
Impressive. I didn't expect my free MUD host or my MUD website to be indexed. Even SBI is indexed, nice.
I assume TMC forums aren't that great at being indexed? [EDIT] lol I'm getting porn ads when I search for my MUD. |

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
Should be, just about every thread is indexed in Google now, we upload a sitemap of changed threads to them nightly (automated of course). I show 5010 links into the forums - we only allow them to link to threads not specific posts, otherwise duplicate content flags start to kick in.

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
Three for three. Woot.
Yeah, doesn't look like it. I suspect that TMC's baroque design is death to robots. Ha! Okay, that's amusing. If you would, please PM me the search terms that accomplished that... |

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
I've had confirmation from Andrew@TMC that google cannot crawl its forums.

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
I believe he was using a combination of the following search terms:
MUD sex hookers Britney handcuffs Lassie garter Senator Craig *snicker* Last edited by prof1515 : 09-14-2007 at 05:37 PM. Reason: Typo |

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
Slander. I referred a friend of mine to Bleached InuYasha Galaxy, and I know for a fact that nowhere in its content does Senator Craig appear.

Re: MUDseek Search Engine
Latest addition to MUDseek: . Get your own friendly, customized Google gadget search box to give your users powerful MUD-specific search. The more people use it, the better it gets, and as we've seen on the Internet again and again, having robust search available is a tremendous resource for any community.
Speaking of community involvement, I'd also happy to note that MUDseek has already jumped past the 400-sites-indexed mark, with no particular sign of slowing down, thanks in significant part to people's helpful site inclusion suggestions. Thanks to everyone who's contributed; keep up the good work! |
