Your site is happily cached by these misconfigured proxies as well. Guess you're just as inept as I am. http://boink-proxy.appspot.com/www.voo.st/events As for the site ranking higher than mine...turns out it was a coordinated negative seo attack. Somebody founds lots of proxies that didn't have a "<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> tag inserted. Appengine was just one platform used. The attacker also created backlinks to help the proxied content get indexed. For appspot specifically, Google seems to assign a fairly high level of trust, and crawls the subdomains very quickly. So, it would find new articles that I was publishing on the proxy first. Am I "inept" because I didn't see that coming? Why should owners of misconfigured proxies, that rewrite canonical tags, and don't bother instructing search engines to NOINDEX cached content be immune from DMCA requests? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
