.exe is a given (and I hope he was kidding!) :).0 is just strange (and I provided commentary on my Search Engine Roundtable post this morning). I’m happy to hear that Matt mentions that Google will revisit old decisions in this case.
To be clear, it is URLs that end in dot-something we are talking about... hyphens and other punctuation are not an issue.
For some reason this just seems like common sense to me.
Matt said that they just turned this on in the past day or so to start crawling .0’s, but I see results using [filetype:0] that go as far back as April 18th:cache:http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/tags/release-1.0?rev=1010I mean, it does have addl params after the filetype, but so do many downloadable .exe’s out there as well. And what about all of the .xpi filetypes? Firefox runs those, don’t they count?[filetype:xpi]
It was only URLs that end in .0 as the final characters of the URL that were in question.If it wasn’t exactly ".0" and it wasn’t exactly at the end, then it wasn’t an issue.
Who would do that anyways? Next Matt Cutts post: Don’t offer viruses for download. Good that they fixed the .0 bug though.
