Sigh.
Sigh indeed. On the other hand: IPv6 is getting enough traction that it =
can't be considered a "Google thing".
A thought: Maybe Google could announce that because of the increasing =
scarcity of IPv4 addresses and the rise of global IPv6 deployment Google =
is considering to start taking IPv6 reachability into account later this =
year. That would give the possibility for Google to watch how people =
respond before actually changing anything, it would take away some =
arguments of those that blame Google for artificially inflating scores =
(they have been warned long in advance) and it would make SEO companies =
more aware of IPv6 so they can start pushing the ISPs and hosters to =
support IPv6.
Google already provides webmaster tools. Maybe showing a warning for =
websites that aren't reachable over IPv6 (or even worse: that have =
completely different content on IPv6) would be nice. Even if IPv6 =
reachability doesn't affect the page rank (yet) the number of users with =
IPv6+IPv4-CGN is growing so enabling IPv6 will have a positive impact on =
a growing number of eyeballs (see Facebook's experience with IPv6 =
performance). Showing warning messages on Google Webmaster Tools when =
the site is not reachable over IPv6 (and error messages when the IPv4 =
content is very different from the IPv6 content) would be nice.
Even if Google gets so much pushback that they decide not to go forward =
with this at this point in time it might already cause some good =
awareness for IPv6.
Even though IPv6 is growing all over the world I still think Google =
doing something like this would help a lot.
Cheers,
Sander
