I have given feedback on search for "BMTC" not returning the official website of BMTC (bmtcinfo.com). (2-3 months back). But the search results haven't changed since then.
- Matt_Cutts 16y agoI did a quick check, and that website has some issues. Here's a wget on bmtcinfo.com: $ wget http://bmtcinfo.com/ http://bmtcinfo.com/ --2010-09-14 09:01:43-- http://bmtcinfo.com/ http://bmtcinfo.com/ Resolving bmtcinfo.com... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address `bmtcinfo.com' The url http://bmtcinfo.com/ http://bmtcinfo.com/ just doesn't work in a browser or with wget. And trying to fetch the "www" version of the website, it does a 302 redirect to a deeper url. 302 redirects are the ones that don't pass PageRank. The last time we tried to crawl the page, we got an error--probably from the non-www version. I'll see what we can do to find this site better, but returning errors instead of content to Googlebot really hurts that effort. By the way, we provide a free webmaster console that would let the owner of this domain self-diagnose these issues. The "Fetch as Googlebot" feature lets the owner send Googlebot to fetch a url on their site and see what Googlebot saw, including errors and redirects. If the owner of bmtcinfo.com were to use that tool, they'd probably notice the errors pretty quickly.
- sankoz 16y agoThanks a lot for the reply. I have passed on this info to bmtcinfo.com through their feedback form.
- Matt_Cutts 16y agoIf you get through to them, it looks like a couple DNS servers in their chain have been serving us NXDOMAINs. Point them to sb[12].mooo.com, hosted on afraid.org, and ask them to let Googlebot in. :)
