Look I know I'm dumb, but can someone explain to me why nostr notes can turn up in a Google search lol? #asknostr
Also say you linked to a YouTube video on nostr and people watched it here. How would that show up on the YouTube account's analytics? Where would it say it came from? 🤔 Would it come how link it to amethyst 🤔?
I'm exposing how thick I am more and more 🥰🫂ðŸ˜
* can't lol
Why they can't turn up in Google searches lol
They can't turn up because google doesn't index relay notes (like nostr.band) - to do so you'd need to query relays for all the events and then store them.
A web2.0 search typically indexes hyperlinks and the links those are attached to (if a site has lits of connections to it, its assumed to be higher)
This is different because nostr events typically don't have a unique URL assigned to it like other websites.
At least thats my sky high understanding of it.
That all sounds believable. You definitely know more than me. I know fuck all :)
So... Nostr notes can never appear in Google searches. Like it's impossible? 🤔
At least until they incorporate that process ("relays, plz give me firehouse of events", saves events, ranks them in a way that is compatible with their regular ranking -> now its part of Google's index).
Another option would be if a website links their content to a specific event and then leaves that available for google to index through their web crawlers. Kinda like a bridge, or however Xitter implements it.
