In this day and age, everyone has an online presence. All of you here do, for instance: your presence here on Stafford Forum. You have a unique profile, you voice your opinions, you generally make yourself heard through the power of The Forum. Well, for those of you who have presences elsewhere on the WWW, I am asking for your help.
It would be nice if Stafford Forum popped up amongst the top results on when you search for the word "stafford". In order for this to happen, Google has to believe that Stafford Forum is a good resource for people interested in the word "stafford". To help Google see this, I ask that you do the following:
If you have your own website, MySpace, or any other public facing web page where you can add your own HTML, copy and paste the following:
This will place the following on your website:
It would also be great if you could put the following somewhere on your page:
This will simply make a link to The Forum, where the anchor text (i.e. the word you click) is "Stafford". Obviously, feel free to put the word in a sentence or some other context - the important bit is that only the word "stafford" is the hyperlink. It is this sort of thing that helps convince Google that Stafford = Stafford Forum!
If anyone has any other tips, feel free to contribute them here. All I would ask is that you don't do anything "dodgy" to up the rankings! It is possible to play a few tricks on Google to guarantee high placement in search results, but some of these can result in the site being blacklisted and thus not listed at all!
I know there are people on The Forum who are much better at this sort of thing, so if I've made any glaring errors in the above please let me know.
Thanks
