While checking my referers briefly (whole other post on that topic forthcoming), I noticed what looked like a search engine hit for a topic I don&#8217;t normally post about, of an adult, or more likely a teenage male, nature.  (I&#8217;m not a prude, but listing the search terms would defeat my purpose).  A quick check showed that the site was a non-English search engine powered by Google. <\/p>\n<p>It seems that Googlebot stopped by <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/WebDev\/ThisSite\/Announce.html\">the day I was hit by over 2000 comment spams<\/a>.  Although I took the entire comment system offline to remove that crap as soon as I saw it, Googlebot must have indexed a few of the pages.  Those pages linked above are the pages it indexed that day and has apparently not reindexed since.  I like website traffic as much as the next blogger, but  I&#8217;m really not in the market for search engine hits for animated attacks on women.  I certainly don&#8217;t want to be the number #6 Google hit for that search (which I am, for the moment).  The sooner Googlebot indexes the clean versions of the pages above, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Also of interest, Googlebot found those pages via <code>www.jclark.org<\/code>, instead of <code>jclark.org<\/code>.  They are the same, but I omit the <code>www<\/code> as it is unnecessary.  Other people who link to me occaisionally use the <code>www<\/code>,  which is why it is indexed both ways.  Of course, it shouldn&#8217;t be indexed twice, so I&#8217;ll be adding a <code>mod_rewrite<\/code> rule to my <code>.htaccess<\/code> file to permanently redirect all <code>www.<\/code> URIs to their sub-domain-free equivalents.  Just to be safe, however, I think I&#8217;ll wait until Googlebot reindexes the above links.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is for Googlebot.
