houtiger Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I have wondered over time whether a new user would ever find us so we can add some new posters. I know, be careful what you wish for. I did some google searches last year and we never showed up, I just searched for "LSU sports forum". I looked for articles about how to show up higher in searches, and the frequency that certain words appear on your sight will bring you higher in the results. This is called "Search Engine Optimization" or SEO. So, for my signature, I put "LSU sports forum football discussion GamedayTigers.com ", what, maybe a year ago. Every time I post, the words that I want to have find us, LSU sports forum football discussion, get associated with GamedayTigers.com! Today I searched for LSU sports forum, AND WE SHOWED UP ON THE FIRST PAGE!!! Try it and come post here if you see us also. If so, maybe we will someday get a new user that way, somebody that none of us know today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 (edited) By the way, do the search for "LSU sports forum" and then hit the link to come to GamedayTigers.com, and we can move higher up the page of results. The algorithm is about word density, word volume, and hits (people coming to the site from the google search). You can pay companies to get your site to appear higher in the search results, my younger son used to work for one in Austin. The company got acquired and the new company fired all the old sales staff the next day. They said their existing sales staff could handle it all, and they probably could. That was my son's only exposure to the software business, now he teaches Auto Tech in high school. Edited January 7 by houtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
