: I don't claim that this is spam, but more and more of the Wiki "PoweredBy" : links look like someone just wants a link from the Lucene project, : probably to boost their Google ranking. We cannot tell whether these
FYI: MoinMoin automaticly adds... <meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow"> ...to every page, so no one is ever going to get a better google ranking by adding themselves to the wiki, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying. : My suggestion would be that we only accept links if people use Lucene : directly (not via a software that has a Lucene-based search anyway) and : that they put a link to Lucene on their imprint/contact page or on the : search result page. On the other hand, while the page above is harmless, I : guess it's not necessarily something Apache Lucene needs to be associated : with. not every one is allowed to "link back" to Lucene ... but i have been thinking that we could start making it a policy that if you want to put a link to your site on the wiki, you need to have two URLs: a URL showing Lucene in use, and a URL where you talk about the code you implemented or the hardware you run on (which can easily be a blog post or mailing list archive link) ... that would hopefully weed out some of the "fly by linkers" -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
