don Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have a table with say 20k items. I understand how the yellowpage websites work with links; Example ; Oregon->Eugene->Bestbuy , and searching Oregon Eugene Bestbuy on Google will result in a Superpages result near the top of the search results. I have a searchable website that searches distance to specific business that have certain products. Each business can have a couple hundred categories associated with them. Can I create in PHP a phony page that has each of these link areas built in to it that will return them to my homepage, or a better way? Its not a phone book type web site it is based on a certain Category that a user is looking for and searching for the closest supplier to a certain user input physical address. The main point is to get more exposure, like a Yellowpage type system. The web site is Loopfella.com and it based in USA. Any ideas would be great. And another thing I am trying to make it where it is unScrapable where someone can easily copy my information. Is my idea remotely possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

litebearer Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 'phony page' as in, make people think they are in one site when really it is a fake directing them to another site?

don Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 No not like that im sorry for not being clear. I believe the link system is set up to where the first page would be say "States" all states are listed and links then each state would be linked to a cities page "cities" then so on and so forth. I dont want to do that since it really doesnt matter for what my sight is used for. My goal, i hope you saw the functionality of the web site, is when someone searches on a search engine for say Asphalt in Bakersfield Ca, I could get that to my site. Ive noticed without the link system, which my site is a database search and not a static information page, the search engine doesnt search my database. I am trying to do a work around, maybe a hidden page that lists all records that nobody sees and automatically redirects them to the main page. I hope that clears it up.

fortnox007 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I know there are ways to let only robots search certain pages, which are not visible for normal viewers. If i can recall you only allow the useragents of google bots or yahoo etc. But the downside is, someone could Edit his useragent and visit your site by pretending it to be the google bot. I am pretty sure you can make a complete site with some if-statements to allow only certain useragents. Just google for spoofing useragent or something like that :-) i am pretty sure you can see how to add useragent in your script. I don't know how yet, but i have read it about a month ago. Hope this helps -edit: here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbC_UC3zryo -edit2: I am not sure if the above you were looking for, but make sure your website is about the stuff your serving the bots. If i am correct, you can be blacklisted if your site is faking it's real content.

don Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 So is my idea even remotely possible. Even with a robot if i make it automatically redirect they wont be able to scrape all the information off the so called "hidden" information page right? Or is their an easier way?
