To whom it may concern,
It's really interesting to read the how op2hacker and Leviathan and xfir went their own way regards this site.
However, it's not convenient for users to have to hit xfir's site before being able to come here. In fact, I find myself googling to get to this site only to first find xfir's site and from there, click a link to this site. Very unprofessional considering xfir's site ain't so pretty regards what happened between the three kings. Before someone jumps in and says 'but scar, if you google for these phrases...' please realize that line of thought don't hold rare ore.
Anyway, I had a look at your home page source and noticed something missing that might just increase you hits.
You appear NOT to have a METADATA element describing the site through key words.
Web Crawlers use the metadata info to categorize sites and without it, WC's have to 'decide' how to classify site. Not good.
Here's the ebay metadata info:
<meta name="keywords" content="ebay, electronics, cars, clothing, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods, ebay, digital cameras, antiques, tickets, jewelry, online shopping, auction, online auction">
Typing any of those KEYWORDS into google will surely return a hit to EBAY
How about
www.ford.com?<META name="keywords" CONTENT="ford motor company Ford Motor Company FORD MOTOR COMPANY blue oval lincoln mercury mazda volvo jaguar aston martin land rover ford credit quality care motorcraft hertz vehicle ford cars automobiles trucks suv explorer sport utility">
Yup, you guessed right, search phrases in Ford's KEYWORD section will flavor your search results in their favor (not sure why they don't uses comma's though and imagine perhaps their not configured correctly) however if I were FORD, I would also slap all of the other car manufacturers in my METADATA so people searching the competition would also see my site too. Just another reason Ford is now @ junk bond status.
xfir's site doesn't have metadata but I suppose the banner page is so small, google will scour the page for key words and I assume BIG sites, google will ignore, like yours.
Once you implant the proper metadata, you'll probably see a dramatic increase in your web trafic (I'm a consultant by trade and I understand companies pay BIG BUCKS for information like this so consider this pro bono:)
