[Phpwiki-talk] AdSense Tip

[Rui C. <rui...@ac...>]

Besides yesterday's fix, I spent quite some time figuring out why I 
still had another "hit" on the search pages. At first I thought it was 
something inside the search code, but when I started logging IP 
addresses it became obvious.

It turned out that AdSense will trigger an _immediate_ hit from the 
google bot if I display ads on my *Search pages, which prompted me to 
include this little snippet right at the start of index.php (to waste 
as little resources as possible):


define( "DUMB_BOTS", 
'/(JPluck|Mediapartners|ia_archiver|googlebot|msnbot|Crawl)/i' );

if( preg_match( DUMB_BOTS, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) {
   if( preg_match( '/\?(s|action|version)=/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) 
) {
     header( "HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found" );
     echo( "<H1>404 File Not Found</H1>" );
     exit;
   }
}
