google is back
or, … should i say, WE are back in googles search result pages (serps) actually with keyword xoops? It’s a strange up and down the last days. Ok, we had a PR update some days before (20th october) and some guys in forum are talking about the effects of “Jagger”, “Jagger2″ and “Jagger3″ (the name given to this update). On the first step of update we got back our PR and now we are back in serps which is in my eyes much more important for a webmaster than this little green border. Being back in serps means to get some more visitors; what was the meaning of PR, uuh?? haha, yes, … what has happened?
In the last years, this domain was often used to test themes, modules and stuff, you might remember. Some installs in subs, directories and folders, but nearly with that same “content”. Google began to hate my site for double content because of different links and positions to the same content and content in cache.
Some experiments with mod_rewrite and highlighting keywords and my domain was put into nirwana of google again. Now after 3 month it is back in serps. For how long? Dunno!
Some say, Jagger phase 3 is not at the end right now and the actual results might change again, so let’s see.
I had some good results on keyword combinations “xoops sites” and “sites using xoops” but was not found with “xoops” in the past weeks. The actual result from today:
I found many old links to modules /news and /mylinks etc. while searching google, so i changed the actual use of modules some weeks ago and denied access to the old modules to google bots within robots.txt and i deleted all links to print.php which could also mean a double content for searchengines.
Did i missed something? What are your experiences with searchengines? For me, it is important to be found by searchengines. The aim of xoopsfactory is to show great xoops site examples at one place, but what if xoopsfactory is not found? Those who knew xoops.org will perhaps find the way but whats with those who just catched the word xoops?
Those who know me will know, that i am monitoring this and will report on changes.
