Can we play round your house for a bit?

[rickyrooo1]

Our Admin are taking our forum offline Thursday night through Friday and possibly into the weekend to change servers, so are we allowed a sleepover at yours for a bit? we promise not to make a mess and leave the lights on.

Bring a bottle and keep the noise down

 

[Quincey]

bring two bottles, all your metal cd's and crank the volume up!

 

[rickyrooo1]

in all seriousness i know when we've come over before we have annoyed a few with our silly posts as we socialise more than talk vans on our site i wasn't sure if your admin would open a special (needs) area up for us to play window licking in...... i don't even know how i'm gonna cope i'm on over 10,000 posts over there i'll DIE if our site crashes again :lol:

 

[geenjay]

[rickyrooo1]

Only if you tell google to stop ranking your pages higher than ours when we search for "xxxx for vw bay" - I now have to scroll down the page to get past thelatebay to earlybay

you and your fancy Search Engine Optimisation!

 

[rickyrooo1]

lol @ bollyknickers

WRT ranking - so the search engine ranking (who gets to the top of the list on google) is related to both the content and also links to the content and supporting information (metatags e.t.c.) within the forum and how accessable it is to google when they crawl the web (using spiders - it's true :animal0017: )

If you search for "VW bay forum" earlybay.com comes up first 8) - this will be based on the fact that the site has been around longer, larger amount of content e.t.c.

However - thelatebay is built on VBulletin which has SEO (search engine optimisation) that makes it much easier for spiders to crawl the links, has search engine friendly URLS on posts - so a link to a forum thread on here is e.g. "earlybay.com/forum/viewtopic.php?=22339506" and on the latebay the link is "thelatebay.org/thread-title" which search engines really value and the result is they put those pages up the rankings

An example - if you search for something where all the keywords are within the forum:

thelatebay.org is right up there - and rivals volkszone for page rankings which is fantastic (and flattering for your techies!) - it's why VZI, Heritage e.t.c. all changed their websites, as page ranking = popularity = members/sales so is really important

Not that I'm a competitive techie geek or anything....

I'll shutup now - and well done on your page ranking

I have seen that TLB is going down (ooer) this weekend on both forums now and was wondering how many peeps are members of both like me and Mr R obviously are

 

[rickyrooo1]

theres a few of us although it's no secret on our site i'm after a 68 so i try to play nice on here lol

 

[dubscum]

yey someone else to talk shit at

 

[rickyrooo1]

wow! you can say shit on here!

 

[ZedBed]

It's self-censoring here? If you start cussing for no good reason you won't be popular though.
I'm on both, but you knew that. I have got a late bay too (or two).

 

[A5H]

Yay, the more the merrier! and most of us don't mind the silly posts and talking shite :mrgreen:
