Guess what you get if you type in 'ph forum' into Google

I've been in the wrong place all this time!

So how many times will we have to type ph forum before this ph forum comes before that ph forum, if you see what I mean?

A bit IT geeky but it's unlikely to happen because:

'PH' isn't referred to on the pistonheads site
'PH' isn't in the web address (that's the big one)
People aren't creating links to the pistonheads site with the link text 'ph'/ditto 'ph forum'

It's all about search engine optimisation, it's easy to find out how many people search for our forum with the text 'ph forum' and if it was significant and if they thought these people weren't looking for the pantyhose site, then optimisers could work on getting those words linked to the pistonheads site and eventually maybe get it 'above pantyhose'. But tbh it's probably not worth it, pistonheads is pretty busy anyway. There are loads of things that could be dont to enhance the forum experience though:

- email alerts for certain posting key terms i.e. 'tell me when anyone mentions ultima gtr'
- multiple profile photos/videos
- link to your facebook profile but via some secure route

Lots of stuff, it's not a massively dynamic forum, could be a lot better imo

One is reminded of the great quote attributed to Lee Iacocca...


"The gasoline crisis has done to the American big car industry what panty hose has done to finger fking."
