No Google search results

Post by pr0ton » Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:30 am

Is there a special reason Google can't find topic or posts on the forums of gc-forever? For example: https://www.google.nl/#hl=nl&sclient=ps ... orever.com. Internal search is working fine of course, but for a bigger publicity, Google's results can lead people to this lovely forum :).

Try "site:gc-forever.com" instead of "component site:gc-forever.com"

I understand, but it will only show pages from the Wiki. If someone is searching for an alternative to the component cable, they will never find megalomniac's project for example. If there was the intention to omit search providers, I wonder why :).

I don't see any index - follow meta tags on the forums html...

I get 81 results if I search for site:gc-forever.com and they are not only from the wiki.
But yeah, GC-forever's SEO is crap. Perhaps because phpBB itself is crap. I am quite familiar with Search Engine Optimization so I can help if asked. But I have the feeling that emu_kidid is familiar with this too and he just can't find spare time for optimizing this site.
