This is a copy of a bug report I made upstream:
> By default Trac appends "- Trac" to each title page (top of header.cs).
> While this improves Trac's overall visibility, it also causes massive
> search engine pollution. With a trac, trac here and a trac, trac there,
> here a trac, there a trac, everywhere a trac, trac.
>
> Looking for proper information about Trac is now impossible. Any request
> is highly polluted by unrelated Trac installations.
>
> For instance, I was looking for a possible script to paste the Timeline
> information on an IRC channel. Quite naturally, my first try was "trac
> IRC bot" on Google. Alas! What I get are hits for Trac installations of
> the rbot, EnvBot or IRC Bot Workbench projects, which have absolutely
> nothing to do with Trac.
>
> Another example was just before submitting this bug report. I was
> wondering whether anyone else was annoyed by the pollution, so quite
> naturally I looked for "trac page title" on Google to see whether the
> problem with page titles was mentioned somewhere. And as you can see,
> there are hundreds of results, none of which have anything to do with
> Trac.
>
> And yes, I know how to play with inurl:, intitle: and site: keywords
> when doing Google searches. They just don't work well enough against
> that kind of search engine pollution.
The ticket, at http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/7162, is marked as a
duplicate of http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6628 and was also discussed
in http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3730 but was eventually closed as
WONTFIX with no justification and with laughable workarounds such as a
javascript snippet.
I believe that if upstream is reluctant to fix this problem, Debian
at least could help by not shipping a polluting file by default. Trivial
patch attached.
