Pappus Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 There is definitely something you are doing with the forum that is just plainly wrong. I can put in wow + anything in seconds I will find a link to the wow forum discussing that topic. Regardless of what I try it won't work with google and the warframe forum. I have yet to be directed to the forum with any question I have. For example: https://forums.warframe.com/ ash will redirect me to your facebook site, but not a single topic discussing ash. Clearly this is not how it should be. Going for directly by site: site:forums.warframe.com/ ash will yield a single result that means, that you are not allowing google to crawl through the forum and it is just garbage like that.

Bakim0n0 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is it really that hard to use the search function on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You will never find anything on Google because the Warframe forums restrict you to sign in before you can browse the forums. Google spiders can't browse the forums and index the forums because it doesn't have an account! not too sure if the forums will be open to guests in the future or not, but until it is, don't expect the forums to be on google.. But if you need to search something, you can use the search box at the top right of the forums :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappus Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 the search box is half of what google is and I knew it was restricted, just not how. :) Still it shouldn't be, which is the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xariann Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) The search function of the forum isn't bad, but it's a matter of awareness as well. If the forum gets indexed there will be searches that might not be entirely Warframe related, but might have to do with the game genre that will show up Warframe results in Google. That would increase traffic to forums and the game itself as a byproduct. Edited April 16, 2013 by Xariann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataShade Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm sure that, with all the server downtime they've had during beta, the forums won't be opened for webspiders until the game's out of beta or all the server issues are addressed beyond the satisfaction of everyone at DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
