It's quite obvious that if you don't give people access to see your site, google won't record it.

Just give plain access to your site.

As for the random link, you can use spotlight.

i saw a web page like mine. and googlebot was recording that site. i mean probably he created an account for googlebot. i got googlebots ip. So i just need a code to let googlebot in.
i will create and account for google bot. and the code will check the ip if the ip was right it will give access to googlebot to get in my site.
if (ereg("Googlebot",$HTTP_USER_AGENT) or
ereg("google",strtolower($HTTP_USER_AGENT))) {
               // googlebot
           } else {
               // not googlebot
           }


does it work?

As Solo has pointed out, if you don't give access to search engines, they will not record your contents.

You could create a custom block at your web frontpage listing your content titles so Google will record them. Since Google can't click to get the full contents, the content titles will be ranked very low. So the value of doing that is really debatable.

To get a higher ranking, Google has to crawl the contents and people are clicking on contents. You may want to check the following thread on Google ranking.

The question needs to be asked why would you want to do that? Let's face it people use search engines to find sites that they don't yet know about. So what is the point of getting a good listing in Google, if when people come along they have no access to your site.

create soem keyword rich blocks and give guest access to them. Both Google and visitors will find it. Then your job is convert the visitors to registered members. You won't do that if they can't get any access.

The very only advice I can give you is as following :

[size=x-large]Open your site the widest possible![/size]

If you want people to see your site, be welcoming and open. Why do you think people would register on your site, with just the promising hope they will discover what they are looking for.

Plus, I know that Google do not appreciate links which lead to nowhere. And I'm not sure either they would appreciate you filter its content.
