Google is testing a bot that logs in to forums
Google recently contacted me with the following email:
Quote:
I'm happy to let you know you've been hand-selected to help us experiment with a new feature: the Site Diagnostic tool. This feature provides diagnostic reporting on errors our crawler encounters when attempting to serve ads to your site.

We've detected that you may have certain sites that our crawler is unable to access, so we can't deliver relevant ads. Using the Site Diagnostic feature, you can review the reasons why we weren't able to crawl a page and resolve the errors in order to receive more relevant ads.

You can expect to find these new reports on the new Site Diagnostic page, under your Reports tab, within the next day or two. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We appreciate your assistance in helping us experiment with this new feature.

Sincerely,

[name removed]

The Google AdSense Team

Upon logging in to check out the system, I was greeted with this:



Sure, they're calling it "Site Diagnostics" but the truth appears to be that they're testing a system that will allow them to better target ads on sites that have closed content. Pretty smart of them really.[/QUOTE]

Wow...that is really interesting...I guess that will end the issue of showing different things to people whether they are logged in or logged out for the most part...

I didn't see where it mentioned the ability to log in.

In the screenshot it's pretty obvious:

awesome to hear, looks like a nice feature. Why do you say forum though in the title? Is it just for forums? or is it because a certain part of your forum is restricted area...

I would think, typically, forums are the registered only parts of a site. Although, I can see it working for almost any 'registered' content webpage.

another "google invite" opportunity...
Were you picked at random, or is there something one can do to get started with the "diagnostics?"

Now, if we can just teach the Bot to make posts that are contextually relevant...

"Hi - I'm GoogleBot For Forums! I noticed that you were talking about Sunlamps for Vampires. Please visit our sponsor who specializes in said product."

"Hi - it is GoogleBot for Forums again - why is everyone Red-repping me??"

Ah yes, yet another revenue stream for Google...

Well I am sure Google will be glad that you have just informed all their competitors about this new feature.

Has anyone tried actually adding a log in to see if its that intelligent. I'm betting that originally the logins are for URL's that are authenticated (the popup box for logins). I think you can convert a URL to username: password @www.website.com or something like that simple.

Forums is another story. Often times an actual attempt through the login URL which then returns cookies in a header which would then have to be replicated.

It could certainly done. I've built a PHP program to manage keyword bids for 2nd tier PPC engines run by smart clicks and jackhammer and other tier II software and we'd have to mimick a login to get the proper session codes and cookies (wasn't as simple as a mere username/password), but I'm betting this isn't where Google is headed, at least not yet.

If they do spider restricted content, what's the point of featuring it in their search results ? People will have to log in to see the content when they do get to the site anyway.

It's for AdSense and not the search index.
