moving up in the world

That's great, but unfortunately, if you just look for "Ducati Monster" we are nowhere on the first 10 pages....

maybe we need to start using "Ducati Monster Forum" more in our threads, instead of DMF?

Does anyone know how many members migrated here from the old forum?  The format of this site is awesome compared to the "other one".  I keep getting e-mails from the other site trying to woo me back.

That's pretty impressive considering how short of a time this site has been up.

Actually one of the most effective ways to increase search engine rankings is to have other established high traffic, high relevancy sites link to us.

i suppose the flounders could ask the DML to link to us............whatayathink?

Just visited TOB for grins... Pretty quiet, except for a little drama & smack talk

There aint shit going on there... Though I did enjoy reading a post from Mad5757 admitting his S2R1000 was the best naked bike out of it, his Brutale and Speed Triple.  I knew that without even having to buy 2 other bikes

i setup outlook to automatically forward anything from the DML to the DML admin (just to give him some more junk mail  ) and delete it from my inbox.

This might help.

TOB:

meta name="keywords" content="Ducati Monster, Ducati Monster forum, ducati monster, monster list, ducati 696, Ducati Monster motorcycle news"

TB:

meta name="keywords" content="Ducati  Monster Forum, Motorcycles, 900, M900, 750, M750, 600, M600, 1000, M1000, 800, M800, 620, M620, S4RS, S4R, S2R, S2R1000, S2R800, 695, M695, 696, M696, S4, MS4"

Adding some more simple words like "Ducati Monster" might help.

...or we could just wait about 6 mnths.

TOB wasn't built in a day.

The growth of this place is really astounding given the short time we've been active.

Who cares who's first?

There was another thread discussing ideas like this. If you mouseover the WWW under my avatar, you'll see it links to this website. I also added the words 'Ducati Monster Forum' under my avatar. msstevens (spelling?) added similar words into their signature.

Pretty much everyone. I just checked out their 'monstrous story' competition. It ran for a month. 15 people voted.

Actually, I think you SHOULD go back to TOB - enter every competition they have. You only need four people from here to vote for you and BOOM - buckets of free stuff

We were listed ahead of TOB on the default search engine on the computer at work when I checked last night.  I'm having a brain fart and can't remember what search engine it was, though.  Msn or something - I'll check tonight to see which browser they use.   

just for shits & giggles i went to the old dml site today. it has been a while. i went to the general forum and looked down the first page at user names, in started by & replys & didn't recognize one of the. i like our new home very much, thank you. i was hopeing  to find that the dml had imploded, but no luck.

Oh crap I forgot they were there. Seriously it's been so long since I checked them out they keep getting bumped down my favs list..... no real loss there as we have this now, I'm good.
