I have been talking to Vint Cerf about this for many years now. Doesn't get much higher than that ;) The problem is not that they don't care, but that they want to keep the pagerank score exclusively for things that improve the user experience, not to push technical things. I have reasoned that for more and more users having the website reachable over IPv6 *does* improve their experience (avoiding CGN and NAT64, I have DS-Lite at home and if websites are slow it's always because it's IPv4-only and the stupid CGN is slowing everything down) but I guess the percentage of impacted users isn't significant enough for Google to adjust their rating algorithm for. But I am sure that percentage will grow, and that Google will take it into account when they deem it significant enough. I hope Google starts soon though, even with only a very minor impact on the ranking to start with. I'd already be perfectly happy with Google publicly stating that IPv6 has an impact, even if that impact is 1e-100 (one googolth?). Just telling SEO people that IPv6 has *some* impact on their SEO will trigger a significant percentage of the hosting market. But their ranking algorithm is one of Google's trade secrets, so I'm sure we'll never know exactly what the impact will be :) Cheers, Sander -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
