We're on Google!
Yes, that should mean some extra traffic and maybe some new members - people we've not even met before .
Brad Pitt doesn't have my charm, wit and personality and, IMHO, is a bit on the skinny side. Jo often tells me she would rather have me than Brad Pitt, and I for one believe herConky wrote:Derek,

Its not the method Brad Pitt uses.

It must make you proud to think you have a son who will be able to communicate with Luc on his level!
Make sure he keeps up with his French lessons at school.
And while I'm on, something tells me the picture Luc posts of himself is not going to be as straight forward as we hoped!
Great news about Google.

TPF on google
I’m taking credit for that good news.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=152#152]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:TPF is now listed in The Open Directory Project (though might take a few hours to appear). When google next takes a copy of the ODP’s free data it will appear in the Google directory. Both of these will help the search engine rankings.
SEO
There are a variety of things.
Somewhere phpBB might allows settings for the HTML meta tagswhere the ellipses should be set to the title of the thread, the first 180 characters of the first post, and the name of the thread (details).
Also, we want incoming links. Do you have personal websites? Do they have a link to a post within TPF? (Mine does.) Incoming links are the best.
Lastly, and best of all, it to have lots of content that seems ‘genuine’ to google’s secret algorithm. This we’re doing the natural way.

Code: Select all

<meta content="…" name=description>

Fixing the meta tags isn’t dodgy

Fixing the meta tags to have descriptions and keywords isn’t dodgy. It’s recommended HTML practice.KillerB wrote:There are some dodgy methods
Killer B's location, The Sky Blue City, reminds me of the time I decided to check out Coventry Citys New Ground the Ricoh Arena for a game. I knew I was close and it was just about kick off time. I asked a local for final directions. The bloke said it was only a bit down the road and then a left. He also said that when I got there, I'd see TWO queues of people, a Big one and a small one. He advised me not to join the Big one, as that was for the Chippy!

I wasn't talking about that jdaw, I was talking about repetitive hidden keywords, unrelated keywords, stolen content etc. Our submitted keywords are all related to Port and wine.
Reading back it does look like I was referring to your recommendation but I wasn't I was expanding on what could be done.
Treacle has some Google Ads vouchers which should get us pumped up a bit, she's also going to check where we can put meta tags as it's not in the Admin panel.

SEO agreement
OK, we’re agreed. We do (or have already done) the cheap kosher things, and then let nature take its course.
