    Google search results

    I do not know much about the plumbing of a search engine, but how come ExpertsExchange and VisualBasicForums turn up in the first couple of pages of a Google Search on VB Keywords but not VBForums?

    If I remember correctly, this site, like most vBulletin sites, was setup to not allow search engine robots to index the site.
    So perhaps that's why ?


    Another reason could be the way in which google works.
    It ranks a site by how many links to that site there are (as far as I remember), so perhaps those sites just happen to have more links to them ?

    2) Ok. Fair enough.

    1) Why? Is not traffic a good thing?

    i think with google (not 100% pos) that when you do a search it will search the site for the keywords and then similar words and then match them by hits from google for those keywords.
