Good Job Chris and Ryan!

Well, these forums are now in Google. Taking out the ? marks was a very good thing as you can see from these results. The date of spidering was 6-28.

295 pages? geez. Think what will be indexed in the next update?

Have a PageRank of 3 right now. This is only with links from Looksmart, my main site, and maybe a couple more sites. Not bad for so early.

I should add that these forums were never submitted to Google. Googlebot just found the front page and started gobbling up ALL the pages it could find.

Great to hear. I am very happy for you. Before you know it this place will be crawling with people asking and answering questions. :cheers:

[ihelpyou]

Yep, let's hope so. More of you all need to put a link to the forums to better the PageRank. :D

Forums are also in Lycos, Excite, Webcrawler, msn, and Looksmart now. Not in Inktomi yet but the spider has crawled.

Congratulations Doug -
But I really didn't need to use the search engines to tell me the forums were going well,

I joined the forums on July 12 and 11 days later I have had 51 unique visitors to my site from here. Thats better than some search engines.

Great Mel!

That is the power of a signature with your posts. This was one of my goals,.... to help other sites. :)

I figure that if these forums can help others, not only with the engines but in other ways, you all will continue to come back and tell your friends.

excellent!! So, the special code is paying off! That is good news. Here is to being number 1 on every search engine there is :cheers:

Yea Ryan. Thanks a bunch!

Google even indexed pages with ?'s in them also. He crawled around scooping up everything in site.

At that rate, come the next monthly spidering, Googlebot will have upwards of over 1000 pages indexed from here.
