phpnuke and search engines

hey guys,
I was told that spiders and crawlers can not crawl a phpnuke website. is this true ? if so how do you add your website to a search engine that crawls. i can look in my control panel for my website and i see that spiders and other crawlers have hit the website and use bandwidth each time they hit the website.

i have setup my meta.php and done everything i can to ensure that they are in the search engines. but i notice that the robo.txt file has the line disallow "includes" how does it read the meta.php if its in a folder that is disallowed?

Thanks

well they can craw but being php its not going to be the best,
i would if i was you install a googletap or if you wait till the weekend i will release updated version.

as googletap makes all your links as html.

and our new googletap also does keyword based urls

like article-this-is-my-topic-1.html

hope this helps
