Well searching for "aus.motorcycles faq" in altavista did ok for me.
| My FAQ is in the rtfm archives, so it makes it out to all the
| automatic FAQ web archive sites, including faqs.org.
I have just submitted the faqs.org home page to altavista - perhaps it
didn't have it before.
| And there's an
| independent site that hosts the FAQ. So it's reasonable to think that
| the contents of the FAQ would be indexed on the web search engines.
They _do_ have to find it first, y'know.
| Is there a universal solution to the problem, perhaps convincing the
| web spiders to dig down deeper into faqs.org to get to the FAQ
| contents?
| When the engines do hit my FAQ, it comes out very low on a long list
| of hits, even though the keywords were specifically selected to target
| the FAQ. Is there any way we can get the FAQs to come out on top when
| the keywords lead to them, especially when "FAQ" is one of the
| keywords?
With altavista, try
+faq
or title:faq
or +title:faq
in the search and see if the hit rate improves. In fact, "title:faq" on
its own seems to pull up an amazingly noise-free list.
