Sales Forum

[retired_member6]

Threads with domains for sale are still getting spidered and cached in google, is this supposed to be still happening? it kind of makes resale a little difficult when the possible buyer sees what you bought it for.

I think the only way to stop it would be to make the forums non-viewable to non-members.

i will see what can be done

Perhaps you could look at deleting posts in the sales area that are over xx days old? That way you'd still benefit from SE traffic but unless a domain is being turned around in a matter of days it would'nt cause the problem lee mentions.

i dont like deleting posts and people get jumpy when i do, i will check the options there though

Fair point, but i'd imagine that if you restrict robots from the sales threads you'll lose a fair few SE visitors........

I would say go the noarchive route if possible. Guests to this forum are going to be potential buyers i would have thought!

Agreed with Murph

I had a newbie yesterday 1 poster after a member of here - he was wanting to rent a name!

I passed on the info and they have both now done deals...

Not sure how we can get round this...
