I have noticed that the marmoset's bot test has a problem with Googlebot access. Googlebot user agent string may look like this:

Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

This test returns number 0 and thus will cause the following test in common.php to fail:

if (strpos($ua, $substring) != FALSE)
 
In result the Googlebot is not properly detected, To fix the problem replace the test (near line 94 in common.php) with

if (strpos($ua, $substring) !== FALSE)
 
(note the extra '=' sign)
Fixed code currently runs on our best shareware downloads server. You may try to access the home page as http://www.softwaremastercenter.com/?overrideUserAgent=true to see the actual tags as the Googlebot would see them.
