Re: [44net] 44Net Digest, Vol 8, Issue 72

Hi Roger, The point others have made, is that there does not appear to be an issue with Google crawling and indexing *.ampr.org websites. For example, I just browsed to www.google.co.uk and typed in “site: ampr.org” and it found 9,400 entries, the top hit being vkfaq.ampr.org The meta description on this site is "Information about Amateur Radio in Australia. Licence conditions”, I then went back to www.google.co.uk and typed that meta description in as a search term and indeed vkfaq.ampr.org appears on the first page. So clearly Google *IS* crawling some *.ampr.org sites, indeed it found 9,400 unique URLs within *.ampr.org that it has indexed. Google may not have crawled your particular site, but as it is crawling other *.ampr.org sites and including them in its index, then that would suggest the problem lies with your website and not the top level amp.org domain. Hope that helps. Regards, Chris crawl ampr.org subdomains. I thought others might also feel that it would be nice to have their ARES group or other Ham group represented on the Ham network (44Net) for the work to see. Instead it feels like there is no interest at all in figuring out why this happens, instead blaming it on Google, or me for brining the issue forward and trying to contact google for help (you do realize that the only way to actually talk to google is to know someone there, so I’m sorry that I have “a friend” at google that tried to help with some inside information that the google search console does not provide.) _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)mailman.ampr.org https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net
