Google no longer searches forum - Page 2

FranceBB · 22nd May 2023, 13:46

And... we're back, baby.
Google slowly started indexing pages again.
Not only I could see the spider, but if you click on StainlessS first link (or indeed search avisynth site:forum.doom9.org yourself on Google) you'll see that we now have 1 topic:
"The power of Avisynth: restoring old 8mm films."

I wonder how long it will take for Google to index back all the thousands of topics in the forum and if we can do something to speed things up...
Perhaps setting up an account with the Google Webmaster Tool would help? https://search.google.com/search-console/about

StainlessS · 23rd May 2023, 15:08

We're gettin' a few hits on

Code:

avisynth+  site:forum.doom9.org

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=av...orum.doom9.org
but still currently only one hit on 'avisynth' (non +) search alone.

Most, (but not all) 'avisynth+' hits have 'avisynth+' in the thread title. (not searching body text ???)

Since 2013 at least, Google's databases are programmed to become more and more "selective"
(read: self-corrupted) :-|

Maybe its now due to AI being more selective, and the thread
"The power of Avisynth: restoring old 8mm films.", is the only one that
it's AI deems worthy [ you watchin' fred ]

Nah, I think it's just gonna be a matter of time.

Searching with link shows that we're already getting lots of pages back, but it looks like it's gonna take a while before the whole forum is indexed back.

I'm afraid it's not gonna be all laugh and smiles, though, 'cause although pages are back now that the ban is gone, Google is really not ranking Doom9 highly, so much so that even searching Avisynth doesn't show Doom9 in the first page and we're probably somewhere further down in Google, like in some remote high page number.
I really hope I'm wrong and I know that the admins were trying their best, but it looks like the effects of this self inflicted penalty (by mistake) will last for quite some time...

Doesn't matter. Because "About NNNN results (0.nn seconds)" depends on which part of the planet you're in, to begin with :-/

Besides, by setting 20 results per page, and clicking on the link to "page 10", you will be already greeted with the horrendous fishertroll thing🤮

Remember, the false-god was never intended to be a replacement for the original Altavista,
which actually indexed AND showed everything it could index and show...
this is the reason why Gluegow always says
"in order to show you the most IRrelevant results,
blah-blah-blah".

StainlessS · 24th May 2023, 22:04

OK, OK, lets see what it says about number of results BEFORE paring them down. [ie the About 29,200 results thingy]

But everyone switched from Altavista to Google because it suuucked.
Anyway, my Member Berries goes to Astalavista.

It's far more than I predicted, with a sharp increase from 29,200 to 37,800 results now!

Over to you, StainlessS, for tomorrow's update xD
