leezard Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Simple script that you can insert in a .php page that will email you when Google is indexing your site. You will need to change the values in the script for your own site and contact details. Simple version ><? if(eregi("googlebot",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) { mail("you@youremail.com", "Googlebot detected on yourdomainname.com", "Google has crawled yourdomainname.com"); } ?> Advanced version This is a much better version that will automatically fill in the Domain, the actual Page (including any query strings), as well as tell you the Date and Time the page was crawled. ><? if(eregi("googlebot",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)) { if ($QUERY_STRING != "") {$url = "http://".$SERVER_NAME.$PHP_SELF.'?'.$QUERY_STRING;} else {$url = "http://".$SERVER_NAME.$PHP_SELF;} $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); mail("you@youremail.com", "Googlebot detected on http://$SERVER_NAME", "$today - Google crawled $url"); } ?> Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Nice! I have added it to my home page. Thanks leezard Thumbs Up Quote
TCH-Rob Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 What if I wanted to keep track of more than one bot? Quote
surefire Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I use this script myself. One time, I decided to include it in every page and I got bombarded by hundreds of emails. One idea would be to put it on your site map, home, and maybe one or two other pages that you want to track. (New page, for example.) Adding extra bots wouldn't be hard. Maybe Dsdemmin and myself could work on such a script for TCH members. We'll see. Quote
cmuskett Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I put the script on my index page and changed it to index.php. I put a redirect in the .htaccess file to reflect the change from index.html to index.php. Then I clicked on the link for my Family Tree and got my main index.php page So I ended up taking out the redirect then I could click on the link and be taken to my Family Tree site... Quote
TCH-Sales Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I think I'll try this on my site too, see how I like it. Quote
