Since a couple of days ago (when?), our trac/wiki is not appearing as relevant on google search results anymore.

I noticed this yesteday too, but normal service appears to have been restored.

From the two original examples I used to test, one is working as expected, the other not:

not OK: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=webkit+team+%22Here+is+the+key+for+each... OK: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Qt+Port+of+WebKit+%22List+of+all+QtWebK... Would be nice if someone with a google-webmaster account could investigate... Thanks, - Ademar -- Ademar de Souza Reis Jr. <ademar.reis@openbossa.org> Nokia Institute of Technology

I guess google blacklisted the site because of some sort of spam or a redirect against the rules.

Does anyone know if something changed recently? Does someone has a google webmaster tools account to check?

A few examples:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=webkit+team+%22Here+is+the+key+for+each... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Qt+Port+of+WebKit+%22List+of+all+QtWebK...

(Retrying to post this.)

I had noticed this too and asked about it internally. It turns out webkit.org was (is?) returning 403 errors to googlebot. This caused the pages to be lost. However, it is still returning content on https:// addresses, so those are now starting to be picked up as you can now see in the Google searches above. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
