06:49:52 <ErCiccione[m> Binaryfate could you update getmonero when you have a chance?
06:50:45 <ErCiccione[m> .merge+ 1234
06:50:46 <xmr-pr> Added
07:58:57 <binaryFate> ErCiccione[m: done
08:00:15 <ErCiccione[m> Nice, thanks. We will also need to flush the chaches
08:14:18 <ErCiccione[m> binaryfate fluffypony ^
08:26:09 <ErCiccione[m> pigeons any update about the onion mirror?
08:30:42 <ErCiccione[m> So, i've done some tests after a user reported weird results from search engines when searching for Monero downlodas. Specifically, they said they were getting the link for localized versions of getmonero.
08:31:21 <ErCiccione[m> After some tests i haven't noticed this behaviour, actually, i'm noticing a huge improvements in the quality of the results.
08:32:26 <ErCiccione[m> Searching "Monero downloads" from the italian google gives the localized getmonero in the third place, while getmonero is the first result.
08:33:52 <ErCiccione[m> searching with various degrees of filtering for different languages gives mized result, but in general the positioning of getmonero is very good and languages are detected mostly correctly.
08:34:43 <asy> for me the first result is getmonero.org, second is monero.org. interestingly the monero.org link has a "Software Genre: Cryptocurrency" tag which getmonero.org doesn't
08:35:17 <ErCiccione[m> This is actually great, IMO and shows how the recent SEO improvements are giving results. Especially if we consider that we started serving a non-broken sitemap only a couple of months ago.
08:35:29 <ErCiccione[m> yes, the disappointing thing is that monero.org is always in the first results
08:35:37 <ErCiccione[m> i ask myself how many fell for it
08:35:53 <asy> can we report it as fake?
08:36:40 <ErCiccione[m> This has a long history, i don't recall exactly what actions have been taken, but IIRC there isn't much we can do
08:37:08 <ErCiccione[m> Now they added browser miners to their website btw
08:37:56 <asy> just when we thought it couldn't get worse :P
08:38:03 <asy> the "People also ask" is cool too. https://i.imgur.com/IgtS59d.png
08:38:25 <asy> other than the "Bitcoin beats Monero when it comes to transaction speed, scalability..." :P
08:38:39 <ErCiccione[m> Yeah, and we also got some user guides directly from getmonero in there :)
08:39:13 <ErCiccione[m> So yeah, SEO placement is improving, which is nice to see since i put a good amount of effort in improving thatr
08:39:25 <ErCiccione[m> beside google. DDG results are more of low quality, with results mixed in different languages and using the old canonical address
08:39:45 <ErCiccione[m> but yeah, that could be just duckduckgo. Their results are always of lower quality
08:40:35 <ErCiccione[m> Oh i also made some seo tests, we have great scores 🙂 https://suite.seotesteronline.com/seo-checker/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5nZXRtb25lcm8ub3Jn/ https://freetools.seobility.net/en/seocheck/www.getmonero.org
08:40:38 <asy> it depends what you're searching for. with google i usually get pages of those sites that scrape content from stackoverflow and other forums
08:42:17 <ErCiccione[m> Dunno. DDG has been my standard search engine for years, but when i have to do more complex researches i have to use google. Reuslts are always of higher quality :/
08:42:27 <asy> at least you can easily !g from ddg
08:42:52 <ErCiccione[m> yeah, but i feel dirty every time
08:45:03 <ErCiccione[m> maybe we should add a FAQ about monero.org on the website
08:45:41 <binaryFate> fluffypony let me know when CF flushed
08:47:18 <asy> i've been hosting and using searx recently. it has some nice features like redirecting publications to their sci-hub page :P
08:50:18 <ErCiccione[m> I tried it long ago, but i remember it was quite broken at the time
08:50:27 <ErCiccione[m> I mean results were quite broken
10:59:40 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> If DDG results aren't good enough, I use !sp to get Startpage results which are the same as unpersonalised google
