I heard auto posting and sending topics via SEND THIS TOPIC to friends which is found in smf and this forum post page can lead to site being banned forever.

I heard pinging website and members sending topics to their friends from your site e.g SEND THIS TOPIC tool on smf post page is spamming and the website will be banned forever. Am afraid I ve to disable them on my board.

I don't know how true it is. There is nothing wrong with sending topics by member. That can not be seen as spamming provided the sender has not used it abusively to the extent that the receiver marks it as spam.

Ok this I observe with ping.fm, after successfully setting the auto post stuff up, then I began to watch and within 10 to 20 minutes, the new topic received 24 visitors. Now my fear is that non of them increase my page view in Adsense, meaning they don't see the ads. Could it be they are bots or what?. Thanks

Good that you observe these. Like I said in my PM, it increases your search ranking. The pageviews indicated that your post are posted on the social networks configured and seen by bots as well. It is good that your adsense does not see the pageviews. The motive is not increase your Adsense directly but to improve on your search traffic, which indirectly impact your Adsense when visitor visit your site. Also, try to update your website contents regularly. I wish you goodluck...

Very well then if it purpose of the bots helps crawl site fast. But wait, my auto ping.fm has suddenly stop working. Before now it use to attract guess (crawlers) whenever a reply or topic is being posted. I did't make any changes other than the fact that I uninstall the 2 mods you ask me to install - ping this mod for smf and ping this icon for boards. I reinstall the 2 mods successfully again but yet the auto posting don't seems to be working. Thanks

The two mods you install enable you or your users to manual ping to your configured social networks. I explain the process of auto-posting for you now.

There are two ways to auto-post to ping:
1. In-built facility on ping.fm
2. Third-party applications like Twitterfeed, Seesmic application etc.

1. This is the simplest one and can be achieved with your website RSS feed url in .xml format. Follow the steps below:

A. Go to your ping.fm Dashboard

B. Look for RSS Feeds as shown below:

C. Insert your RSS Feed url as shown below:

D. Then, Click Add.

E. You can update the feed anytime you like.

I hope it helps...
