Is there a module or method for DNN that will detect and login Googlebot (nd/or other bots). I'd like to allow the bot to crawl pages normally reserved only for users that are logged in. Then these page would be indexed (but not cached) by Google.

Sort of like webmasterworld.com. Have you ever seen their forum pages in Google's index? Every forum post is indexed but there is no "cached' link so you can't see the content in the cache. Then when you click on the link in Googles index, you get a login page.

Anyone know of a similar solution for DNN sites?

Thanks a million!

I need to do exactly the same thing. I have a number of PDF documents I wish to expose only to registered users but it would be very useful if I could let the Googlebot index them.

Can anyone help ?

Of course not. The code would  have to verify that it is really Googlebot using a technique outlined by Matt Cutts:

I don't think there is anything out there for this..proably will have to write my own module.
