Hashberry.4510 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is the wiki invisible to search engines now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It doesn't seem to be. I just tried searching for "GW2 Wiki" on Google, Ecosia (which uses Bing) and Yahoo and all three found it. Admittedly only google had the main page as the first result but it was only 2-3 down on the others. What were you searching for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashberry.4510 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 If I search for a topic (ex - gw2 phase traversal), all I get are links to fan sites, with no wiki entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashberry.4510 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Weird, I get wiki hits for some stuff but its pretty iffy. OK thanks folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Out of curiosity if you specifically want the Wiki page for something why not just go to the Wiki first, then search there? Why use a general search engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashberry.4510 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I usually browse on a tablet. For ex when I see a skill mentioned I will highlight it and select web search. It would normally bring up a new tab with the search results, with the wiki result close to the top, so little typing required and no need to separately move to the wiki. Lately I am not getting wiki hits, just fan and forum links. The GW1 wiki will even come up, but for most of my searching, the GW2 wiki is AWOL or several pages in.

Maybe that has more to do with your device? Im not to sure, on both my tower and my laptop its the first thing that shows -always- if i google "GW2 {insert words here}" thats in Firefox, i dont know about Chrome or IE.

Hashberry.4510 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes I suspect the device now, just wanted to be sure the wiki wasn't being skipped by search engines for some reason. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
