Full Version: Googlebot is there, but no results at Google?

I think this seems rather odd... When I go to my forums, I sometimes see "Googlebot" as a user "Who's Online". I guess it saw my site! But when I try googling it, I get no results linking to that page.Sad That's just something I found out. Something to do with robots.txt? My current settings are:

User-agent: *
Allow: /~eric
Google won't automatically/instantly add search results after it has been indexing your pages. It will take a while (maybe a few days, or a week or so) before results start appearing.
This is a suggestion Chris, but big sites like google.com could have dozens of host addresses for 1 ip. MyBB only uses gethostbyaddr() whilst getbyhostnamel() will list all the hosts addresses from the specified ip rather than just the one, which can be found here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ge...ynamel.php

you could use something like

$hostname = gethostbyaddr($ADDR);

$hosts = gethostbynamel($hostname);
print_r($hosts);

Of course the array needs to be formatted
Oh, okay. It'll take some time, then.
