Countdown to Judgement Day

[MyCult]

If you click 'I'm feeling lucky' without a search term on Google.co.uk you get a countdown?!?!?

This is clearly Skynet counting down to when it starts it's war against the Humans.

is this really what google should be revealing, some of you may ask is that the type of thing i should search well i only searched a little bit of code that would display admin section of wordpress blogs in the us and google is just so happy to help

Surely that's just an example of a poorly setup website that has not used a robots.txt file correctly rather than any fault on Skynet, sorry I mean Google.

The "I'm Feeling LuckyTM" button automatically takes you to the first web page returned for your query.
An "I'm Feeling Lucky" search means less time searching for web pages and more time looking at them.

Because it automatically picks up everything a robots file allows it too, it's not up to Skynet to compensate for poorly constructed websites.

It's called a footprint. All CMS's have a footprint (most have more than one) you just need to know what your looking for. You can use search engines and footprints to scrape large lists of sites based on a common CMS e.g. Wordpress, PunBB, Drupal, CubeCart, OScommerce the list goes on.

Why you would want to do that? ... I have no idea :sneaky:

Skynet does play by the rules set in robot.txt most of the time and their crawler is definitely one of the better ones.

That being said I have personal experience of Gbot looking at a robots.txt then ignoring it completely and going on and doing wtf ever it wants anyway.
