I am developing a site and almost all there content is only accessible once you login. There is tones of pdf's, word docs dynamic content that is updated on a daily bases. How can I get SE to index all that content?? I know https is a no go but what about a non SSL login?? Apparently there is a trick but it could look like cloaking to SE's..?? I don’t really understand this what do you guys think?? Thank you!
Hi Sascha, do you like your content to be indexable by SEs? If so, then everyone can access it by searching relevant words through Google, Yahoo, etc... without logging in, especially true for documents like PDF. I guess what you can do is restrict pages to be indexable only when they don't need login to access.
Yes i do want them to be indexed. So you are saying: The spiders will find the documents (pdf's, doc's) in there relevant directories even if the links to those files are only accessible in the login area? There is a blogging system but it is also secured for each client. You need to login to view posts. Does this content get indexed by SE’s? TX! Sascha
