Hi just wondered how search engine friendly the guestbook is?
I have tried a few search engine simulators on it and they have trouble spidering the links, and pick up all the delete numbers on the page. The links to the delete page

Any work arounds for this? or thoughts
i have thought about making hard links in the footers text with full url
as one possibility.
many thanks

You shouldn't have any problems with it, most "search engine simulators" are so basic that any spambot has better fetures :lol:

If you are still concerned you can add rel="nofollow" to delete tags (I don't think your simulators will obey it though). Find them inside the code in the "printentries" function. Example:

<a href="something.php">code</a>
change to
<a href="something.php" rel="nofollow">code</a>

This will let any competent search engine know not to follow that link.
