Thanks to help from some of you here, and a lot of trial and error, I finally got my video counter script to work properly.
ecoyne Videos
Now, I would like to let robots search that page, but not increase the video counter. Is there a way I can put an exclude into a robot.txt file that would allow this to happen?

I know how to allow robots to search, but not how to prevent them from increasing the counter, sorry

Is it possible to restrict them from navigating a certain file? If I can disallow them access to my getvid.php file, that'll be sufficient...

this is strictly from memory, but I believe the syntax is the same for files as it is directories
disallow: /path/to/file/getvid.php
if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll look it up

That is the correct code.
But, that would stop them visiting that page, thus not reading the link and indexing them. Ok, the counter will not go up, but then they wont show in search results either.
Not sure if there is a way to stop them from increasing the counter, yet still index the page

If displaying the video information is listed in listvid.php, and only the counter starts functioning with the getvid.php - do you not think that by inputting the above code I would not increase the counter, yet still index the information on the page?

Ah, in that case I would say it would as you want.
Why don't you try it then run a few of the checkers on the site.

What kind of checker do you refer to that I can use to verify if that is working properly?

THeDaddy,
it says I'm missing "keywords", "description", "author", "robots" and "author" meta tags.. I already have a robots.txt file, so what would the correct syntax be to stop those errors from occuring?
