    Google indexing calendar all the time, but not threads

    Hi

    I have vbseo and vbseo sitemap installed.


    I have a little problem, the google crawler is only looking at my calendar. Havent index any other thread for a long time.

    I have it like this www.mysite.se/forum

    I have also put in an robots.txt in the forum root that says:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /calendar.php

    Sitemap: link to my sitemap

    But in hangs in the calendar every day.

    link to my forum is Link

    A robots file only works in root and must be relative. Since you are in /forum, your current rule does nothing.

    Disallow: forum/calendar.php

    is the correct path.

    Does it take time for the bot to understand the rule?

    After one day the bot is still in my calendar and digging.

    Nothing with search engines is instant. It will take 48-72 hours before anything will happen.
