Thanks for the comment, Ryan. I think you make my point. If I know the project is called 'cancan,' you're right GitHub results are favored. But when I search for 'ruby authorization,' the only CanCan hit is a blog post from someone else giving an overview of the project.

Love CanCan btw.

Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood your post as saying GitHub's project pages don't rank well in Google in general. I agree that a custom project page allows you to better target other keywords (such as "authorization") for SEO.
