When Did Google....
 

Start Indexing Cgi-Bin files?

Anyone?

WG?
Cyndalie?
Darron?

Whoa! For real???

not sure if it was those but that is why so many adult sites got great PR's. Google can now do complicated links. It was last update.

:eek7

I noticed that on the last update (the one where a lot of adult sites suddenly got more PR), that Google was indexing more and more pages with parameters in them. I doubt its restricted to cgi-bin type directories, but I have noticed a few changes going on in the massive beast since last update.

Thanks for the answer WG but these cgi-bins have been indexed for about 6 months now that i know of.

Guess its better to have some indication than non though so thanks :thumbsup

I never noticed but then again I was never tracking something like that specifically since cgi-bin is limited to a few OS', I would think the difference remained with the type of page (php, pl, cgi, etc...) rather than the directory name.

Just my 2c.... who knows what Google's thinking this update :)
