New php trashes Bandwidthspeed ?

Heh! This script is too much FUN! Dance-Y

Search bots 'hang' on my site 24/7. They never entirely leave. Sometimes there are a few, sometimes many. Right now, there are 200+ bots on my site...

Last week, when I started playing with this script, the bots found it almost immediately - although they didn't seem to care for it much. Why? Probably because the link wasn't SEO'ed. But, they indexed it, and it came up in the first 10 pages of Google for a 'bandwidth meter' search.

A couple of days later, I decided to change the module name. That normally wouldn't be a problem, except the bots didn't like the link in the first place, and haven't re-indexed it yet. Because of that, the link listed in Google is dead now...

No big deal, right? - just '301' (permanent redirect) the link using '.htaccess' - but, the problem with this is - (regular) 301's won't pass arguments, so redirects are useless when you're dealing with 'module.php.'

So, I have 200 bots savaging my site, and I thought - Google Tap... Bingo!

Here's what I did (doc for next release):

Code:

1) Add this anywhere in the Google Tap section of your '.htaccess' file (in alphabetical order, if you wish):

#Bandwidth Meter DSL
RewriteRule ^bandwidth-meter-dsl.html bandwidth-meter-dsl.html

Example:
#Articles
RewriteRule ^article-([0-9]*)-([a-z]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).html article.html$1&mode=$2&order=$3&thold=$4
RewriteRule ^article([1-9][0-9]*).* article.html$1
RewriteRule ^article-topic-([0-9]*).html article-topic-.html$1
RewriteRule ^allnews.html modules.php?name=News&file=allindex

#Bandwidth Meter DSL
RewriteRule ^bandwidth-meter-dsl.html bandwidth-meter-dsl.html

#Content
RewriteRule ^contentid-([1-9][0-9]*).html contentid-.html$1
RewriteRule ^content-cat-([1-9][0-9]*).html content-cat-.html$1

2) Add this right below '$urlin = array(' in your 'header.php' file:

"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Bandwidth_Meter_DSL'",

Example:
function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s) {
$urlin = array(
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Bandwidth_Meter_DSL'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=News&file=article&sid=([0-9]*)&mode=([a-z]*)&order=([0-9]*)&thold=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=News&file=article&sid=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=News&file=article&sid=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=News&new_topic=([0-9]*)'",

3) Add this right below '$urlout = array(' in your 'header.php' file:

"bandwidth-meter-dsl.html",

Example:
$urlout = array(
"bandwidth-meter-dsl.html",
"article-\\1-\\2-\\3-\\4.html",
"article\\1.html",
"article\\1.html",
"article-topic-\\1.html",

That's it... :)

As soon as I implemented this, the bots started hitting the link. Google Tap really DOES work!

So, I'll see what comes of it...

Yeah, Bob Marion discovered a nasty bug in the admin panel, when error suppression was disabled, and came up with a workaround. It's fixed in the new version (1.1)... hopefully... Smile

I just uploaded it to my site:
