I've been watching the Google SERPS view of his website tank since he switched to his JavaScript stack a few months ago.
It's a eye-watering example of what happens switching from a static website to a client-side generated one. There's basically nothing on the first page of a site:scripting.com search anymore.
Even the Google Sitelinks view lists the RSS feed as the most important page after the homepage.
Maybe your google is broken, but on mine, I get plenty of hits. If you do a view source on the page you'll see why it works, there's a static copy of the full text just for google to index. Try this search:
I get all the hits in the first page. This is something that was just posted recently so you can see they're still indexing the site regularly.
Now the page rank might be hurt by the fact that Scripting News is http and they say that they're downgrading http sites. That's fine with me. The web is not owned by them, as far as I'm concerned. YMMV.
Is mirror.scripting.com really the most important page on scripting.com (and it's currently unavailable). That's what's turning up as the top result, more important than the scripting.com homepage.
