Jay;

One of the largest gobblers of bandwidth are search engines.

The more pages you have the more bandwidth they tend to search with.

While I am not a HTML expert, there is this thing called meta tags that can be put in to block search engines from searching eternally every day.

I am not sure what the exact code needs to be, but I am sure someone here knows. Also I am not sure how it can be placed as most of this board is run automatically with vb.

Just thinking on how to conserve the cash.

Tell me more!
(So we don't have to do the research).

Hey, if we can do this we should make one available for searching like the Home Page. I'll see what the boss wants.

That is what I was going to suggest. Just have it so that the such engines find the home page so people CAN find us.

But it has to do with the code in VB that it has, to write what is called a meta tag line and to refresh or not refresh. There is a whole study and field on this. But you can put code in to screw the seach engines up... or have them find your stuff even more often.

Not sure how easy or possible it is because, as I said a lot of this site is automated?!

That is how certain businesses get to the top when you search for an item. Some also pay to get there too.

I have it now bro.

And, I think you're right about the spiders.
