That was two weeks ago.
Is Google supposed to have drastic updates to its index over 2 weeks?
- stavros 7mo agoThe whole project is a month old, and two weeks were more than enough for Google to rank the fake site first, so yes?
- shadowgovt 7mo agoThere is significant first-mover advantage in the index, especially when the public is finding the initial result to be good enough to satisfy their questions. Google doesn't care more about authoritative answers than the public does; the public is one of Google's signals for good-quality results.
- bubblewand 7mo agoBack when they were good at being a web search, yes.
- carlosjobim 7mo agoIt usually takes one or two days for them to start ranking new pages. They're fast!
- AznHisoka 7mo agoNot these days in my experience. Maybe 5-10 years ago. I imagine Google is so indundated with so much spam, and AI slop they are being more discrimantory on what to crawl and index
- philipwhiuk 7mo agoUh? Yes?
- eviks 7mo agoYes, computers are pretty fast. But also don't ignore history, the website shouldn't have been ranked higher than the github repo in the first place
