Well, it's a bit of a trade off. We need to charge for a certain level of access to cover the expenses or creating and delivering this content. But at the same time, we need potential customers to find us when they are looking for the kind of information we are offering. (Outdoor recreation in the Northern Central Sierra if your wondering.) It's the classic having your cake and eating it conundrum. How can we let potential customers know what information we can offer, with out actually giving all the information way for free.
We got some interesting ideas for the Human users who visit our site. But, I'm wondering if there isn't some way we can help the machine (search engine bots) visitors. Somehow expose the key information the these that does not to badly comprise the value of our product. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA -----Original Message----- From: Doug White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 8:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Search Engine/Member Login I would think that material behind a login should not be searchable or cached by the search engines. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
