| dansmith | I think a while back someone asked about if we could SEO our way to google returning quasi-recent releases for docs when people search for them | 16:27 |
|---|---|---|
| dansmith | is that possible and has anyone been working on that? | 16:27 |
| dansmith | it's infuriating to google for a doc, find it, puzzle for a while and then realize it's actually for queens or something | 16:27 |
| fungi | that topic probably also ties into the discussion about whether tc members want access to google analytics (and the associated patches to fix the user tracking for those in openstack-manuals and openstackdocstheme) | 16:30 |
| fungi | i think google ties access for all that stuff together | 16:30 |
| fungi | though i'll admit i'm pretty ignorant of google's products overall | 16:31 |
| fungi | haven't even used their search engine regularly for many years now | 16:31 |
| dansmith | um, okay I'm not sure the "webmaster tools" (which is the other part I think you're referring to) gives you any control over things like that, just visibility into what is being found and how | 16:31 |
| dansmith | I think the actual optimization of what they find is more a function of your own tagging and such in the actual documents | 16:32 |
| fungi | ah, i thought someone had mentioned in here that there's places on google's site where you tell it what you want prioritized because they've basically stopped paying attention to prioritization signals from metadata and content due to abuse | 16:33 |
| clarkb | dansmith: I think you can add metadata to the html that says "this is the canonical version" and then google should prefer it over other versions. Zuul did this iirc I'll see if I can find where that is done | 16:41 |
| clarkb | dansmith: https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/ and https://opendev.org/zuul/zuul/src/branch/master/doc/source/conf.py#L74-L75 is what zuul did. Basically says the path to /latest is canonical | 16:44 |
| clarkb | then if you've got multiple versions that are all similar the latest one should be preferred | 16:44 |
| dansmith | clarkb: right that | 16:45 |

| spotz[m] | Some of the docs exist in newer versons and it's easy enough to swap to that version, others like the User Guide I mentioned last week I think haven't been updated since Ocata or close to that | 20:22 |
