Google indexes the complete page. This contains a lot of 'junk': left bar, tagme tags, "this topic has been moved", etc. We can change the behaviour of indexing by adding Google specific tags:
googleoff
and
googleon
.
See:
Google Applicance - googleoff / googleon Tags.
The only thing that needs to be indexed is the html header (title, meta) and the topic text. So:
html start <!--googleoff: all--> start of body <!--googleon: all> start of TEXT <!--googleoff: all--> rest of body <!--googleon: all> rest of html
The same method should be placed around the tagme call:
<!--googleoff: all--> TAGME <!--googleon: all>

Although useful for public sites, I think it does not fit the TWiki mission. Instead of adding this to the distribution, how about documenting this in the supplemental docs?

Yes, but why shouldn't we offer a package that is ready for the web?

Yes, that makes sense. We need to build up the infrastructure to easily generate more than one TWiki package, such as one for public sites that has a different registration form, different set of plugins (such as preinstalled
BlackListPlugin), and this Google specific stuff.

The suggested solution only works for Google Appliance; results for Google web search are mixed. We have a different working solution for TagMePlugin.
