[Tiki-devel] Tiki to "ping" serach engines on content changes

Hello,

Following a discussion with Brendan I would like to evaluate and hear other thoughts for an options to add a “SEO” feature in Tiki:

"When my WordPress site sends out the ping, Googlebot usually comes to crawl the new page within a couple minutes and often chooses to index that page within a day.”

While Tiki is serving a lot of project that don’t require good SEO (like enterprise intranet or ERP), it will a very appreciated feature for anyone willing to publish public information.

Some notes;
* We could have an edit initiate a request to ping (as wp do) or to run a SQL query to find a list of pages (content articles, blogs, etc) that should have a ping sent (would solves some issues WordPress has, keeps the code in one file, and means that there is no additional code that needs to get executed when edits are made. That being the case a console command is the perfect fit for this.)

* It would be better for this to be pushed off the Tiki, to an external service using the Scheduler.

* There need to be a threshold parameters for pinging and not pinging (not older than 1 year, one ping per day/week for a content, etc) to prevent sending ping on old content or several times edited content.


Side notes (not sure I get this one ;-) );
We could even have one up on WordPress by using Scheduler and setting it for once every 5 minutes or so. This way only one ping will be made if several edits are made together. (Like a quick spelling correction etc.) This is something WordPress does not have!


Waiting to read your comment,
Bernard
