hi everyone,
does anyone know if search engine crawlers do "breadth" or "depth" search? what happens when search engines got stuck at a login page? do they turn to the next link, or get out the site entirely?
how do search engines behave when they bump into those security pages? what would be the best way to handle login which appears on every page?
thanks,
sheepman

Welcome Sheepman!
Is the login on each page inside an HTML form? If so I believe everyone agreed in another thread that SE's won't follow the link. So that's one way to keep the spiders from getting error messages.
What I generally do is exclude the directory where a login would be a required via a robots.txt file. Dunno if it's necessary, but it does seem like a nice thing to do for the spiders.
