Issue Summary
Hi!
It's a great module but I think it would be a useful feature to add an option to disable the frontpage redirect in case googlebot crawls the pages. The reason is obvious: when google tries to crawl the pages, sometimes it might get a redirect to the frontpage, which is of course not correct, and google doesn't really like that.
Also I could imagine that the users coming from a direct google link would not like to see the frontpage but get to the page they have clicked at once.
What do you think?
Thanks & best regards,
Bence

interesting question. I'm not an expert on google crawlers...but, you could to edit your robots.txt and tell it to exclude the front_page..although I'm not sure how smart that would be. Perhaps there's a way to tell google only to pick up certain content.
