GoFundMe removes search link to Goncalo Amaral legal defence fund page.
« on: October 04, 2015, 06:00:00 PM »
It is rather bizarre to say the least.  The Go Fund Me site owners have added code to the Legal Defence for Goncalo Amaral page which prevents search engines from picking it up and relaying it to the internet.

Interesting.
Googling "amaral gofundme" used to return the correct page as the top result.
Now googling "amaral gofundme" does not return the correct page at all.

Some people elsewhere are claiming google did this - but they are wrong - it was not google. It was......

Use Bing if it upsets you - Amaral GFM  is top on there.

The following line has recently been added to the HTML header of the amaral gofundme page.
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"/>
This instructs all search engines to exclude the amaral gofundme webpage from search results.

It's all Greek to me...but if true that was some deliberate act engineered by ANO , (and not some technical innocent gobbledegook)  a little sad at best

Maybe lurking techies can explain

Yes but not for long. As soon as Bing robot picks up the "no index" instruction, the Amaral gofundme page will disappear from their results too. Check again in a few days and see what I mean. Whooosh.

It's the Americans again. I warned you about them a while ago.
All trace of the account will disappear.

Why do you think it's been removed (just before 7th October?)?

Ok thanks, but I don't get it still, best leave it there for now I guess, I'm sure (hopeful rather) that knowledgable intelligent plus honest people might explain it all for us plebeians

Go to any other uk gfm page, do "view source", search that text for "no index".
Probably this is just one of many pages with this change and it's irrelevant?
