Forum Name (URL) / Getting Found by search engines

[07JeepXK]

Just my personal opinion but I really like the name "XK-Forum".

If you type in Jeep Wrangler Forums in google JK-Forum.com pops up so there should be no reason why this site isnt listed when you do a search.

Is there any way you can contact vBulletin or someone to find out why its not showing up when you do a basic search?

I have to get into the search engines, it is like getting into the phone book. It takes time before the spiders start to recognize key words in your form or META tags, it will happen over time but it is slow when you do not have a lot of hits and very few posts.

have you submitted it to search engines? i would the top 10
if you put a link to my website, I will put one on mine. The more the merrier. and you dont have to advertise....just bury a link. or better yet, start a section where people can put thier websites. you may have to clean it up on occasion.

We definately need to get the word out.

even searching for XK forum the site don't show up. But yes we need to make it identifiable to people searching. A few short months ago if i searched Jeep Commander and saw XK forum I would not have clicked on it because I would not have known what it was.

On BING search, it is the third one from the top if you type in "xk forum" and run a search, a few links or something would probably come in handy.

Google and yahoo do not have it yet. and non of them have it just searching jeep commander. So I started searching in general I made two searches on google 1. Jeep Commander ARB lockers. 2. Jeep commander rage roof basket. Both searches pulled my threads from jeepcommnder.com as first on the list. Bing nothing for search 1 search 2 pulled a post with the info from my signature in a thread I posted in. Yahoo about the same as google except it was a little off on 2 but still pulled from jeepcommander.com I think it will take a while for the search spiders to catch up and start listing this site more.

I did the top ten but was told it can take about six weeks to get listed, kind of like putting your name in a phone book.
