Google indexing forums
 

Ok so we want GOOGLE to index the forum but its a paid forum so we want a message to popup when they try and access from google saying that this is the case...

Like: http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http:...3-myI777_rLKJI=

Forbidden
Your client does not have permission to get URL /url?q=http:...3-myI777_rLKJI= from this server.

Let Google index all of the forum even the paid areas. Then you'll have more listings and SERP. Then when a surfer visits they will be promoted to sign up. Keeping GoogleBot out isn't going to help anything.

Well thats what I want to do... How do i make it so they index the forum (its behind a username and password)

bump, is this possible?

robots.txt wont fix the problem?

same here...
