Google Presence

Take a look at this :

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fortress+forever

Not exactly what you want to see in the release month. Any ideas why this website itself isn't showing up at all? And how one would go about fixing that..

This has been mentioned before. But Like someone said I soppose it doesn't matter because if you have never heard of FF you're not going to google "Fortress Forever". You'll be link to it.

Still needs sorting of course.

Tyrus · 09-08-2007, 09:08 PM

actually, it does matter.

I too have noticed this and of course, I have heard of fortress forever. However, I usually google "fortress forever" to get to the site. Or at least, I used to.

What about those who google it and draw the conclusion that FF called it quits or something?

Sure it might not be many people, but 1 or 2 losses would still suck.

I posted this because someone was asking for the website on IRC because they couldn't find it on Google :\

I'm pretty sure the site admin knows what to do considering they've created a fairly decent site. If you want to help and you own a website of any kind, add a link to the front page of this site, something like:

<a href="http://www.fortress-forever.com/" title="fortress forever">Fortress Forever</a>

Talk to the site administrator, he can add search content to the template or source.

PHP Code:


			
    <head>

        <meta name="keywords" content="owol, one world on-line.com, one world online, team fortress classic, game server, custom maps, custom, soundpack, tfc, stats, psychostats" />

        <title>One World On-line</title>

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    </head>

NoComply · 09-08-2007, 11:27 PM

Ya isn't google ranks based on how many web pages link to it?

Atari · 09-08-2007, 11:34 PM

Google does not use meta tags, in fact no real search engines use them anymore.
