[hibernate-dev] SEO ranking of ORM docs

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi,

It's still bugging me that ORM 3.x documentation regular shows up as
the top result in searches. With the docs being revamped for 5 it
seems like the right timing to make sure results from
https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/orm/... show up there first.

My SEO knowledge is close to none, but surely there is a way to
achieve this. Does anyone either know how to do it or know someone who
may help us with it? The new docs are great but it'd be a pity if
users can't find them easily.

Cheers,

--Gunnar
