i second that. however webplatform.org will need some serious SEO to displace w3schools. also, webplatform needs some serious work on their docs to make them readable and easy to search.

  Maybe if webplatform.org is mentioned in enough places, webplatform will have a better Google ranking and webplatform might displace w3schools. The promotion of webplatform would really help webplatform gain popularity. Do not hesitate to send the link to webplatform ( http://www.webplatform.org http://www.webplatform.org ) to as many people as possible. Share webplatform's site ( http://www.webplatform.org http://www.webplatform.org ) on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc... webplatform webplatform webplatform webplatform webplatform webplatform webplatform

    Does SEO work in HN comments? I know it doesn't on reddit, so I wouldn't be surprised.

      User submitted links are rel="nofollow"'d, so no, HN comments and submissions don't help.

  I think they wouldn't do that, but you don't need a SEO magic when you are backed by two of the biggest names in search.

  Being backed by Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook will tend to have that effect. They'll be fine.

  I think google can tweak their search results. As soon this page has more content it will 'naturally' replace W3schools.

The end of any website dedicated to programming for the Web?

I think nothing short of shutting down the website will make them move down the google search result page. Even mdn can't touch w3schools after all those years.

  That's because people keep linking to them. Google rank is not a direct quality metric.
  - VMG 14y ago
    I'm not an expert but I've heard it also has something to do with age. Older content has more google juice.
