Original Thread: Googling up not working - UPDATE: we're ranked!
edwardchiu
When was the site submitted to Google? I see its PageRank is still Zero. Was it also submitted to DMOZ?

Also, a search for "Chinese Indian Tangra Calcutta" brings up, first and foremost, restaurant listings...

And that defunct York U page is still high in the rankings.

Totally now...

Edit: !

This site is not submitted. Google will come find this site every few weeks, they say 45 days, so lets get atleast 5 outside referrers to this site and wait till next time Google drop by. We sure to beat that YorkU site. A search on 'Chinese Indian Tangra Calcutta' will bring up those news site, yes we can't compete with them, they have far more traffic and outside referrers. But a search on only 'tangra hakka' list it on the 2nd page. I want it to get to the first page and beat the YorkU and other Asianwind sites. The reason YorkU site is no.1 is because it is been listed on many other sites. And also, the bulk of this site is under membership access, Google can't reach it.

Not much point in searching for 'wowchinese' Someone searching for that term, would already know the existance of this site. What we need is this site to come up 1st page for "tangra" "chinese indian"

This is very good. . . 1) Go to Google.com. (www.google.com) 2) Type in "weapons of mass destruction" but don't hit the enter button. 3) Instead, hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button next to the normal Google "Search" button. 4) An "ERROR MESSAGE" appears. "READ THE ERROR MESSAGE CAREFULLY". Read the WHOLE error message. Someone at Google has a politicial sense of humor ... but do it before Google fixes it.

It is not an error. It is a trick by some number of net-users. We can make weird messages come too for typing 'tangra'.

cliff
no error.... the "I'm Feeling lucky" button takes you to the 1st site listed for the search..... that site just happens to be listed at number 1 for that search... :)
