Description
If you search for wrpc github page, it works. link: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abytecodealliance.github.io%2Fwrpc
If you search for this zulip-archive page, it shows nothing. link: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abytecodealliance.github.io%2Fzulip-archive
It seems the zulip-archive has not been indexed despite being online for almost 3 weeks. It would be futile to host the zulip chats, but not get indexed by search engines 😭 .
Some say that until there's some public references to the url, google won't bother indexing it.
- add links to publicly indexed websites like bytecodealliance.org
- add links to READMEs of related github repos (github repos are indexed by google)
- Just ask devs to share the links in social media like twitter / mastodon.
Others say that google won't index github pages, unless explicitly asked to do so.
According to stackoverflow and other blogs that got indexing working, you can explicitly trigger a crawl by proving ownership of the website in google search console by hosting a specific html file with website or adding a meta tag in index.html.
There's always the option of raising an issue at https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive and ask them for guidance.
