Isn't the 24th the "monthly anniversary" of this site?

September 25, 2010 to be exact, it took about a week to get it up and rolling from the day I finally decided to move on it.

500 in eight months. Not shabby at all.

A new member said he got to us via this link, which states CPF is #3 in Google rankings.

It just loaded a blank search page.
Have you another...Sir?

I have been trying to find where we rank with google, but have yet to figure it out.

This is weird...1970?

I pasted this into my browser and it took me to the proper search page.

Hmmm, we don't rank, but from what I've read, you need to be on the web several years to make a foot print.
Otherwise they simply don't see you.

It comes in part from reciprocated links. You mentioned someone told you only the "right" links count. I had a blog ranked at 1,300-something, and links from about 50 places sending me traffic. (Long time back when Truth Laid Bear was still doing ranks.) I started down about 17,000 or so and got there in six or seven months.

Network, y'all. Follow the first rule of politics. Who cares what they say as long as their link to you is accurate. (Ah, spell your name right....whatever.)

It would be nice if you help with that quiller... there's a cut of ad revenue in it for ya....

I'll see what I can find for you, but a lot of it is admin-to-admin. I doubt many site owners would take the word of a member over the admin in choosing whether to exchange standing links. In my case I was part of a huge group of bloggers, many of whom used a cut/paste sidebar of links to other sites also in that host's purview. Not exactly a "ring," I suppose they call it now.

I said I'll see what I can do. I am not an admin and will not become one for any board I do not actually manage. As in, keys to MY kingdom, not someone else's.
