    Post Google bot and vbseo.php question

    Hi.

    I have installed vbseo on my vB board last week and I find it strange that 80% of my bot visits are going to the vbseo.php page every day.

    Is that normal? Is this good? What is your opinion?

    Should I block this in the robots.txt?

    I have also attached a screenshot.

    Thanks for the help and advice.

    Interesting thanks for the info.

    Will this change over time? What are the bots looking for when they go to the vbseo.php?

    What is the trend I am likely to see? Lees visits to the that page and more to the showthread and other pages of the forum?

    Thanks.

    All of your pages are going to vbseo.php first, When you open a thread in your forum vBulletin go to vbseo.php first and then vbseo.php redirect to the correct thread with the correct link and that's happen to all of your pages not only showthreads pages so if you see any bots visit vbseo.php don't worry they may open a thread or any other page.
