Thanks for the background Ryan. That is really useful. Googling for "CQL" and the first Apache hosted result (for me anyway) is the 6th entry. 7th if you count the 'featured snippet' as position 1. Interestingly, the results for "Cassandra" are much better. SEO is not my area of expertise at all. Does anyone here have some suggestions as to what could be done to improve our ranking for "CQL" (and any similar search terms)?
