- margalabargala 10mo agoIf I'm reading correctly, it's not that your search results would be crawled, it's that if you created a link to www.theirwebsite.com/search/?q=yourspamlinkhere.com or otherwise submitted that link to google for crawling, then the google crawler makes the same search and sees the spam link prominently displayed.
- Barbing 10mo agoYikes. What could Google do to mitigate?
- weird-eye-issue 10mo agoYou noindex search pages or anything user generated, it's really that simple
- nolito 10mo agoNot enough. According to this article (https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/pludselig-dukkede-nyhed-op-der-kaldte-flugger-beskyldninger-ondsindede-googles-ai-er-blevet https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/pludselig-dukkede-nyhed-op-d... you probably need to translate) its enough to link to an authorative site that accepts a query parameter. Googles AI picks up the query parameter as a fact. The artile is about a danish compay probably circumventing sanctions and how russian actors manipulate that fact and turn it around via Google AI
- weird-eye-issue 10mo agoYeah all pages should have a proper canonical which would solve this too
- firefoxd 10mo agoIn this case, all i had to do was let the crawler know not to index the search page. I used the robots noindex meta tag on the search page.
- weird-eye-issue 10mo agoI don't know what you mean by cache but you aren't using it correctly...
