Description

I almost never find askbot as a valid result for a subject related to LibeOffice when googling....

It seems that no robots can crawl/index inside Ask-LO...

Related to task #414:

  • mark the fields on the profile page as not-to-be-indexed by search-engines
  • verify proper sitemap with Google Webmaster Tools

  • Priority changed from Normal to Low

I verified today

1/ robots.tx is being found by crawlers, including google
2/ sitemap.xml is being fetched (despite being a heavy request... 15 seconds or so from here to wget it)
3/ the logs showed that for the last 12 hours, when I checked, google bot alone crawled 11K+ pages

and a few google searches show that ask.libreoffice.org do show up....

Some time ago, we received a similar request to hostmaster@ alongside some helpful tips
Assigning this ticket to Alex to have a look when he gets a hand on it

I indeed do find a lot of occurences at Google - Olivier, is this still a problem? Can you give us a sample? (Maybe it affects only certain languages.)

AskLibO is easily found by Google, robots.txt and sitemap.xml are found and valid.
