Okay, I have been working out the glitches of our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and everything should be all set. All PHP files are now dynamically rewritten to html files and all sitemaps wich includes all URLs on the site are automatically submitted to all search engines on a daily basis via cron job.

What does this mean?

It means, when you post something on DodgeBoard, it will be searchable through any search engine in the world.

Why is this good?

Let's say someone is searching for a house to buy and you have posted an ad in the DodgeBoard Classifieds. If they use search phrases that you have entered in your post, advertisement or link gallery, this will lead them here to your ad or your post.

This is especially important to those that have ads or content in the Links Gallery and wish to share or market them with the world.

If you haven't visited the NEW Classifieds Ads section or the NEW Links Manager, you should check it out. Posting there will be searchable on Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Same goes for posting topics in any forum.

Has everyone seen Wordsmythe's Gallery in the Links Gallery? If not, you should check it out, it's very impressive. Feel free to rate his art.

If you would like your own section, PM or email me.

Attached, you will see an example taken from the Google Analytics that show what search terms have led others to this board. Right click and select "Open link in new window" to see it correctly as lightbox distorts the image.

The top 'hit-getter' is interesting. Is there a thread I'm missing?

Which begs the question: Are we still inhabited by the spook, the air marshal and the grass grazer?

Hey, Blondemoments: You and I have more in common. We are searchable.
