Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone on the list can shed list on why the details
contained in the new docbook format doesn't come back on the front
page of
Google search results - where the wiki previously did.
For example, information on the Qpid Java FAQ comes back from cwiki
but not
from the docbook (try Google for 'port broker uses at runtime' and
you'll
see what I mean).
Is there something we need/ought to do to get the docbook stuff
further up
the index ?
Thanks,
Marnie
As I understand it, The Google has decided that the network of
external (pre-existing) links, from people's blogs, other sites like
stackoverflow.com and so forth, contribute highly to a pages
'PageRank'. These will all still point at our old page names, so that
is what The Google shows you. We need to publicise the changes, and
make sure people link to the new pages.
Of course, if you add "+filetype:pdf" to your query it improves
things somewhat; compare the results for "qpid java faq" with and
without it...
