[hibernate-dev] Hibernate site SEO optimization

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi Vlad,

We already have something like this, at
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/. The latest final version docs
are available there. It's only that results from there have not a good
search result ranking apparently.

> MySQL does not offer this option and when googling something about MySQL,

> (at least that's how I do it on my blog) and ask google to reindex that
> particular "current" link. I guess that could be automated too.
