Unity, please take care of the visibility of the assetstore

The assetstore could have much more customers who would be able to dig much deeper into the rabbithole (and actually find more then the top ten of every section) if Unity would allow the assetstore to get indexed by google.
Right now the whole assetstore is simply not available for search, because you have this on every page:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

Please paste this into google:

site:assetstore.unity3d.com

This is, what google knows about the assetstore and all of the assets you can buy there.
Not much.
You get no search enginge traffic for the assetstore.

The asset store is indexed, under u3d.as. I assume they want that to be used by Google and not assetstore.unity3d.com, so there are no visibility problems as far as I know. Certainly I have no issues finding asset store stuff with Google.

Yah the Unity web developers seem pretty smart, they probably know what they’re doing. It’d be a pretty big oversight to not let the stuff be indexed.

Thanks a lot, wasn’t aware of that!
