One factor may be unique fresh content. If jquery.com only returns 500 to googlebot, jquery.it is one of the most content rich sites with fresh content on jquery 1.6.2. When I tried it some hours ago, jquery.com had first place for the query "jquery", but was only on the second page for the more specific query "jquery 1.6.2", while the jquery.it page was still on the first page for that query, but had lost some of its freshness bonus (or my search history had pushed it down, you do no longer really know what is googles ranking and what is your own confirmation bubble these days), appearing on place 7, two places below the OPs post. The other top places where more or less shady news aggregators and download sites. [edit: right now I see the download site at heise.de as the highest ranking download site on place 2 on google.de, which is about as reputable as it can get, so google does actually do something useful here, given the misconfigured jquery.com server.]
- yaakov34 15y agoI seems that only blog.jquery.com is misconfigured. jquery.com is OK. But it makes sense that this would be a part of the problem, since the blog has the freshest content, and the bad result does come from the blog. However, this still doesn't explain why jquery.it has such a high pagerank. And blog.jquery.it has a pagerank of only 1. I can't find any interesting-looking links to jquery.it that would explain the high rank. It's also strange that Google returns blog.jquery.it 1st for the search "jquery 1.6.2", since those strings are found at lots of highly ranked blogs (pagerank>1 for sure). We could be dealing, once again, with Google's preference for finding search terms in the domain name. But this puzzle is still not coming together for me. This is why I'd like wiser persons than me to try to get to the bottom of this.
