    to many links on /archive

    hello
    I heard its not goog to have to many link at one archive page
    i.e. here Freebies - Free Tourneys - No Deposit Bonuses [Archive] - Bonus Paradise Gambling Forum
    I have now over 170
    what do i have to do to split pages like i seen it here on vbseo forum?

    and also is it good to disallow in robots.txt
    forum/archive/ ?

    I recommend turning the archive off altogether. it is completely unnecessary with vbseo.

    thank you Michael
    I am a bit unsure if i should total turn off or not

    I am trying to read and learn daily a bit
    and doing then some changes on my site
    but I also heard you have to give it a breat sometime
    or the robots getting confused, or they re-index again and such things.
    I have my forum opened only on June 1st and i did not have VBSeo installed from the start, so now I really hope it starts to get more traffic soon, but I worry if I change to much this will never start, lol

    I wish I knew someone who could just have a closer look and let me know if all seems fine so far.

    I also worry lot about the robots.txt
    I seen on msn they indexed a file from my includes folder
    may I just disallow the whole includes folder?

    Ya know on joomla i seen they give you with the template already a robots.txt file, why does vbulletin not?
    I think many newbies are unsure about what should be disallowed on robots.txt and what not.

    Have all a nice sunday
