Search Engine listing of threads

[Anirban1987]

Whatever is discuss in this forum is indexed by Google. I don't have any objection to that. But it would be certainly better if the website addres that we mention in threads be masked to non-logged users and to Google Bot. It is very annoying to see threads related to my website in x10 being shown when I search my website (www.techdarpan.com ) in Google. For example type "TechDarpan" and search in Google. If the web address is masked then x10 will not loss because the problem for which the Google users are searching matches with any thread of x10 they will be able to see the thread and clear there doubt . So x10 will not lose web hits. But it will help x10 users to maintain their site technical details private.

Moved to Off-topic, it shouldn't be in free-hosting support section.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with search engines and not registered users seeing your links, as after all, it kind of is free advertisement for your site.

nooo. That would make it harder for googlebot to find your site if you mean remove all links from it. Then your site probably wouldn't be on google at all.

Because if you have as many posts as me, 2500+, you get 2500 links to your site if you put it in your sig. Every link does so your site has higher chanses on appearing on google

That's why the people in Marketplace buying a spot for their link on your sig are making a big profit for little loss.

Well since Google indexing other sites is the only reason I can find that SysAlive 3 (an application I've been working on from scratch) is showing up on google at all (second spot down should be my first wordpress post about it), its fairly obvious that I quite like this.

I mean since I never submitted it to them in the first place, it had to get the link from somewhere, and this is the only place I know of that has links and such to the domain in question

I would suggest you to refrain from using your site name anywhere here. In that way, you can avoid google tagging your site name and x10 forum pages in the search result pages. If you specify any link over here, it will be indexed by google. But its a good marketting for you site only.

Are you embarrassed your site is hosted here?

I think it's great that google indexes the forum and finds links to my site.
More publicity for my site and higher Pagerank in google for my link appearing so much on here. Not that I any longer have any links in my sig, I will soon though!
Its annoying and embarrasing though that people can search for your site and then see any unsuspension threads etc. that you post...

It's not all that embarassing unless you use a paid domain name on free hosting and your site members know about the free hosting :P
