Google Site Command Not Showing Index Page First?

Aug 5, 2011 - 8:24 am 10 by

There is a report at WebmasterWorld that Google is not showing their root of their domain, the main www.example.com, for a site command search in Google.

So I decided to check if this site had the same issue and it does!

site command search

The question is why? Why wouldn't Google show the main root above the rest of the results?

The WebmasterWorld thread has several SEOs saying either it is a Google bug or it is a sign of a problem with the site. Is that what you think? Do I have issues here or is this a Google bug?

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
