I have tried reading other peoples topics for the answers, but they were too confusing to follow. lol Is there an easier way to get my couplesinlove site promoted? _________________ My couplesinlove forum Couples can get theyr own category. Even if you are single, you still can join. There is a category for singles: A forum where you can chat and a forum where you can meet someone

One way i found to cheat was to add a link to one of those well know homepages (yahoo,msn) then when they do a search for your name it finds your home page and your link

Don't want to sound negative. But who will search for "onlyvideogames"? To get anything out of google you have to be found on what people look for. e.g. type "myfreeforum" into google and we will I am sure be top. type "best free forum" and I doubt we are there at all _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

TBH I am not that fussed. I have a lot of skills in this area and could probably spend a lot of time fighting to get us up top, but a couple of hundred quid spent on advertising a month is keeping the forums joining at the kind of rate where we can handle the expansion rate without our exising members suffering.
So I would prefer to spend time improving the system. Better ranking will be a function of growth and our members saying hopefully nice things about us with links elsewhere.
