Q. Can I include my pages in the campus search engine? How do I make sure my pages are included?
A. Sonoma State uses a Google Mini Search Appliance. The Googl Mini is constantly crawling SSU's many websites, looking for new and updated pages, and pages that have been deleted. This information is saved to the Google Mini's index, which can then be searched by visitors to our websites.
To make sure Google Mini finds your website, make sure some other web page Google Mini knows about links to your pages. Google Mini starts its crawl from the following pages. If a user can get to your pages by browsing from one of these starting pages (even if it's 100+ clicks to get there), Google Mini should be able to find it, too. (skip list to more content)
