Google search links

[hoshimoony]

Hi everyone, first time post but I've been a long time lurker on this site :)

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone knows/noticed when you do a search on google for aus99, on the one leading to this forum there's some "popular" links.

I can understand the first 3, "Sydney - After Report"; "Brisbane - General Talk"; "Sydney - General Talk", but I don't understand the last one "Omen". He seems to have been a regular poster on the old forum, but I seem to recall that up until recently it was wilisno's name there which is more understandable due to the sheer number of posts (both overall and the great ar's) he has made! Is there some story behind this that anyone knows of, or is this some randomness created by the Google algorithm?

tbh, I'd much prefer the link to point to the Shop Roster than to a forum member :cool2:

Well, this thread could have something to do with it!:D

Oh right, it could indeed! Wonder if he intended for his name to end up being a suggested link, if not I wonder how to push other results up. I suppose all I can do is keep searching for other possibly more useful things like the ginza roster together with this forum! :miao:

We do find some weird questions on this forum every now and then ! ;)

I never had this problem, why do you have to search Google for Aus99 ? Just go directly to the site by typing forum.aus99.com and leave the link on the iPhone.

lol I know it's a weird question haha. yeah I know that's what I should do, it's just my missus sometimes use my phone to search the web when her mobile internet connection is bad and I don't want her accidentally stumbling on the link! :cool2:

Typing aus99 in the search doesn't take that long so that's what I do, the top link is usually the forum's. It's just I found the sublink "Omen" weird, when it doesn't appear to be a page people visit everyday! (e.g. the shop rosters section must be a much more popular page!)

Haha, then you have to talk to Google about it, I don't think it's got anything to do with Aus99 ! :miao:

It's more likely a bug with vBulletin's search engine optimization algorithm indexing the Omen page...
