Searching for "Scottish War Memorials" on Altavista brings us up on the first page... Very Happy

And a search for the same on msn.com has us as the no.1 result!

I've always preferred msn to google....

I'm raising this chestnut again.
It may be relevant to all the 'pie in the sky' talk. If the site is the/to be the best resource for Scottish War Memorials ( and it is/will be - no doubts) then it has to come first on google, whatever that takes.
Because it is the No. 1 search engine and most interested in the subject will probably be searching through it.
I don't think it has achieved here, for whatever reason.

Now number 5 on AltaVista and 10 on Dogpile. Shame that google just does not seem to like forums.

I'll rephrase my last statement. Google doesn't like THIS forum (with a Warmemscot address). The Scottish War Graves forum (phpweb) has already made it to number 5 on the first page of google! Evil or Very Mad

Incidentally, I just noticed a link to our forum on Wikipedia under War Memorials.
