Forum not appearing in Google.

Post by Neil Jones »

The forum contents are not appearing in Google. Is there a reason for this?

To check what I mean take a selection of a dozen words from some posting that dates back months and put it into Google.

I have looked for the obvious markers that Webmasters put into their pages to
prevent Google doing this but I can't seem to see them.

Is it deliberate?

Hi Neil - no, there's nothing deliberate going on here.

Just so I understand, by "Google", do you mean "Google Chrome" (their web browser)?

Cheers,

I think Neil means Google the search engine. If you enter a string from one of these forums Google doesn't find the relevant post. I've tried with some of my own very old posts, which are still on the site, and google.ch has no record of them.
