The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
In my opinion I think that search engine bots should be allowed, but they should physically have to go to page and not take the content. That way people can find answers to questions they may have.

I personally dont think it should. That is how I found namepros in the first place. I was searching google for information about domains and found postings at np. The power of being indexed like this is helpful for those searching info and also to mr. RJ. Everybody wins. If you are concerned about privacy, which I am sure everybody is then being on the internet isn't such a great start.

i think it should allow the bot. some people searching for question might find namepros having the answer.

Limiting bots would adversely affect the traffic to the site...
