Yes

Well then, it is a good thing that googlebot does not have access to our members only areas.

What you mean? Lol? It allows you to view members only areas without registering. So yes it does. What it doesn't have access too is hidden section.

Nope. I have googlebot registered to our site as a bot and I have given bots the same permissions as a guest, always have. I have always been worried of google bot placing our members only sections in google cache, so I only allow it access to the same sections that a non-registed guest has access to.

Ah. Now I see. Good move. Most people don't do that.

THanks for the trick, 404. This will save me lots of crappy registering time. Lol
And that was wise thinking, Don.

I've been aware of switching user agents for a while but I never really took the time to learn what you could do with it. This will come in handy as I usually just register with a spam email.

Yea however, I forgot to mention, you will not be able to post on the forums or anysite you visit

That's fine, normally I am only there to get some data or a file.

this is a old known method. one day.i used googlebot agent. to search a specific forums vip area. with out signing up. and it did work. i was able to get into the vip section of the forums and view threads. but that was a sometime ago. even then. it wouldnt work on most sites/forums. i have tried. plus i believe i tried it a couple months again after the breech. and it was fixed. i couldnt view vip area no more with googlebot.
