This is what the website currently looks like in Google search results:

search-result

See here for more information on what we can do to try and change the search results display. One thing we can do is call <meta name="nosnippets"> in index.html to completely remove the search results "snippet". But snippets are usually good, because more keywords will match from someone's Google search result and we may get more visibility.

@cdeil - Any ideas for what we can do?

@vorugantia - I have no idea how to make gamma-sky.net more Google search friendly. If you or anyone else has the time to learn / figure out how to make it better, please comment here or just go ahead and make a pull request any time.

I think it might be non-trivial to get good results, because we have an Angular SPA and because our main page is mainly a canvas, not text. Personally I often search by source names, e.g. I type "HESS J1614" in Google, which at the moment has tevcat as first result, and doesn't even mention gamma-sky.net, either because Google doesn't index the text content of our SPA and find the HESS J1614 page, or because our site is too new / low traffic to show up.
