I just tried a google search for “bndtools forum” and I was surprised that the first results did not bring this forum. Even worse for “bnd forum”.
Is it possible to change the title of this forum?
Suggestion: “bnd / bndtools forum” (or some other title containing those words… maybe even add OSGi). I would think this would improve findability, since the forum title is also added to each threads page title .
This is the current title meta tags:
Sounds like a low hanging fruit and a good idea.
I unfortunately have the feeling, that the discourse is quite poorly indexed by default. I can’t find anything beyond direct topics in here.
It seems this could be improved via the paired version of discourse.
In discourse Admin under /admin/site_settings/
there are various settings. I think title and the description fields are the easiest part.
Currently there are 344 pages indexed from this forum. See site:bnd.discourse.group - Google Search
I think other little SEO tweaks could be:
-
adding more text to the welcome post Welcome to the Bnd Discourse
-
add a link to the forum in the navbar of https://bndtools.org/
-
Link from other websites e.g. a blogpost from your company. I can offer placing a link to our blog post.
I’ve updated the description
Thanks. I added small PR in Github which improves the pages of bndtools.org regarding page title and description.
Seems that the recent changes had some effect. 2nd position now.
