Hello team!
I need everyone's help! Yesterday I put into place a rule where if a thread didn't have a reply, it wouldn't be indexed by Google. This is an effort to reduce the cruft we're showing to Google as 0 reply threads are rarely good material for their search. Now, there are a number of 0 reply threads that do receive search traffic (some with tens of thousands of historical views) and we want to maintain and improve them in order to keep those search doors open so new members can find us.
I have a Google Sheet with 500 '0' reply threads that receive search traffic. Many of these are homework help threads. All we need to do is work down this list by giving each thread a great and helpful reply. This will then make the thread indexable again and will satisfy searchers and maybe we'll get some new members.
If we each can do 10-20 over the next few days this list will be toast! I'll open this up to regular members if there is not enough support. Thank you for any help you can offer!
