<p>I wonder what's the best practice with index pages (pages containing multiple blog posts which each have a more canonical url elsewhere). I wouldn't mind betting we'd be better off just leaving google to figure it out.</p>
<p>The thing is google may decided not to index an individual diary entry at all. Given a choice between this being findable in google via a confusing index page, or <em>not findable at all</em>, we'd be better off leaving index pages to be indexed. Meanwhile if a diary entry is popular enough, people will tend to link to the canonical URL and google will know to put it first.</p>
<p>It's weird that <a href="https://blogs.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.openstreetmap.org</a> would outrank the canonical <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/diary" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/diary</a> which it links to. I suspect this may be symptom of the way google will aggressively <em>downrank websites which are hosting spam</em>. Hopefully our rankings improved since the "Report" features, but we still do have bits of lingering spam (I just found some using... google!)</p>
