Has anyone been able to get google to index their TW?

My Joomla sites get indexed but so far, for TW, all I have got are
error 403s.

I discovered the SEO plugin but that seems to defeat the purpose of a
single file.

I have a couple of TWs with page ranks of 3-5.

I also get quite a few referals each day from all of the search
engines.
The only drawback that I see is that the search engines don't
understand how TWs are put together so they take "sexy" out of one
tiddler (My wife thinks my Utilikilt is sexy), "female" out of another
(What I need is a female plugin), and "photos" out of a third (Photos
of my backyard) and give searchers the wrong idea.

I think there is a need for some built in metadata/Doctype that
informs searchbots that the document is a TW or other non-standard
file, so that they can then know how to catagorize the contents.

If you are using Google Analytics to track your site, take a look at:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/msg/142e59e0f9767aed?hl=en&

With it installed I see each tiddler that users click on, and can
track where they go next.

Google reports each tiddler as '/tiddler title/'. I'm currently trying
to convince it to put a # in front as well as keep the [[ ]] around
the title in hope they get a better understanding of how to track
tiddlers.

At the least it might give you some ideas of how to convert one of the
other web trackers into doing the same.
