Jack McKalling Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Scared that it'd mess up the board aren't you? lolDon't be, I won't try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 It shouldn't mess up the board. The board knows when it's a user and when a bot. So if the user Google.com is online, you would see it as a link, and if the bot is online: not. If they are both- one as a link and one as non link. That's it.

Jack McKalling Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Is this google account standard for all websites, or how does it get registered or whatever? I am having troubles with my sitecounter, it gets increased sometimes and I think it may be a google thing. Can it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFB Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 when google retreaves a page you server would treat it like any browser retreaving a page so it could be a bot that is visiting you page and increasing your count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
