I have a happy ending to this.

Just found a response from Google about this on one of the forums I was asking about it. See:

http://groups.google.com/group/codesite-discuss/browse_frm/thread/f5422cf7788c97ea

In short, Google actually stuffed up a bit some infrastructure changes they made recently and wrongly installed a robots.txt file which blocked crawlers from the

I guess you could always host a "front page" somewhere else which simply describes mod_wsgi and points to the google code website.

Then at least that page would get indexed normally.

I'd reccomend https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/
for the hosting, since they charge by bandwidth. You could probably get by on a few dollars a year for a static page.

Webmaster tools are useless as I suspected as there isn't any way with Google Code sites to insert the META tag or special page they want you to, which it can use to verify you are the owner.

The actual location is 'http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/'. There was also a permanent redirect from 'http://www.modwsgi.org/'. It was this which was at the top of the search results up until it vanished

If you create a badge, I will add it to the PyCon website. I will add the text 'powered by mod_wsgi' sometime today.

Maybe this is the place to start? Google webmaster tools

Otherwise I think there's a way to contact Google about it.

Finally, why not ask all satisfied users to link to the page at the bottom of their mod_wsgi powered sites? E.g., powered by Python and mod_wsgi. I'll do it when my site is done. Google can't
