Re: ask.fp.o low ranking in Google

[Vít Ondruch <vondruch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, that was completely artifical query, but for such generec question, I would expect ask.fp.o to be on the first page and it is not. It is not in first 10 pages. So user not only get any answer, but does not know that there is place where he could ask at least.

But trying something less generic, such as https://www.google.com/?#q=dualboot+fedora+win provides better results, although I would expect ask.fp.o to be higher.

well,

Just because ask.fpo is "fedora" hosted , that doesn't mean its the best source of content.

For this specific query, infact there are no questions on ask.fpo

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/query:fedora%2019%20install%20fails/page:1/

SEO project aside, content is king.

As to it being useless, AFAIK, its just a fedora hosted app, not an official documentation or answering place. fedora forums have been around for years now, ask.fpo for months.

I would rather have a user directed to a valid answer than ask.fpo with no results.

my 2 cents.

Hi,

I am wondering why anytime I am searching some issue with Fedora, ask.fedoraproject.org is never shown in Google's results. How is that? That should be one of ours primary sources of answers for common questions.

For example, when I google for "fedora 19 installation fails", on first page I get referecnes to

* fedora wiki
* fedoraforum.org
* wikihow
* bugzilla
* google groups
* and some other unknown pages

ask.fp.o does not appear on first 10 pages of Google. I am afraid it is useless service unless it appears in Google.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
