This is my official review on the
UBB Spider Hack by Total Web Package.
When reading the information on the
UBB Spider Hack I had a lot of doubts about it, afterall the UBB is dynamic so information isn't indexed in the first place, but hey I had nothing to loose.
After having the
UBB Spider Hack running for about a week or so,
Google states that 1,030 BBS pages have been crawled... Granted that it's not that many, yet, but it's still more than UBB out of the box.
And the best thing is that it's the newest pages. Now, there are more ways to get more crawled, such as making the index pages how google wants them, with as little of topics shown as possible; possibly even with the Wacking Days Pruned mod installed.
We're now getting more visitors from search engines just for the bbs rather than with the standard page!
Best of all, Micah Sparacio (the developer) is usually around for any help with the script. That and it's not a mod, it's an addon... Just drop the file in and link to it and you're ready to run.
All in all, I'm completley content with the pricing structure on the
UBB Spider Hack for the amount of traffic that it brings in. I'd sugguest that anyone who wants a little more bbs traffic go ahead and at least look the
UBB Spider Hack over, you won't regret it.
Lastly, the
UBB Spider Hack will run with the UBB Accelerator and with the standard ultimatebb.cgi file.
