It's that time of the week again... this line in Google's robots.txt seems to be new:

Disallow: /aclk

http://www.google.com/aclk

Any explanations?

aclk ~= talk ? ^^

GTalk? For a dyslexic perhaps...
And no, "aclk " is not a Google service name James.

Well, you have deleted James' post, I feel stupid now ^^

<<Server: AdClickServer>>
Stands for AdClick...

(Well, James was talking in binary language, but this forum is English only :))

:D US english the rules so you better remove this :D! ColoUr! Aluminium! Cheque!

James
The forum rules state "The forum is English-only" so technically we can speak in UK English if we want :D

Something I made a few years ago:

So where's the First Floor?

Oh, I thought it said US-English

I keep forgetting how to differentiate between UK and US English when I get updating Wikipedia pages.

"The forum rules state "The forum is English-only" so technically we can speak in Real English if we want :D"

Fixed :D

I keep having people complain about my WP edits being in English as opposed to American. Its habit I guess, I'd like to see an American try and spell their words slightly different when using a specific website and not make mistakes.

Yes that's what I meant but wasn't brave enough to say it :D

http://www.google.com/aclk returns a blank page.

Google search on this leads to
  
inurl:"google.com/aclk"

www.google.com/aclk/googlewatchblog

Weird. Let me try link to somewhere else there, maybe it will soon show up the same way:
http://www.google.com/aclk/foobar

HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Server: AdClickServer

sorry forgot to add this
inurl:"google.com/aclk",after search button is clicked.it should show
"check in the omitted results".
click on the link it shows the below link
www.google.com/aclk/googlewatchblog
   and not this link google.com/aclk/foobar

> and not this link google.com/aclk/foobar

Yes, the foobar link is just my test case. Assumption: since the domain is disallowed via robots.txt, anyone can link to it using any URL and Google will show it in the SERPs after a while...

ho ok i got it . thanks philip
