The link in Google for the ASDF manual points to http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/manual.html
This is so because I convinced the person with the highest page rank in that query to place a link to this page.
However the previous link has been arbitrarily changed to become http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.html
In order to preserve the ranking I advise to set up .htaccess to redirect to the new location. Either that or simply place a soft link in the server.
I would do it myself but my account in common-lisp.net (jgarcia) does not have the right permissions.

Just a warning:
Setting up a webpage with a redirect message is not advised by Google.
If you do so instead of setting a redirection via .htaccess, or a permanent link, then this will be regarded as link spam and the ASDF manual page will get lower in the search results.
Note that it is not too difficult, and probably advisable, to add a sentence at the beginning of the manual saying something like: "You can find the latest version of this manual at http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.html"

Thanks for the tip.
Is it better now?
.htaccess: Redirect /project/asdf/manual.html http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.html
