Thanks to Swan for the tip. On www.google.com, a search for "wall-e forum" brings us up as the #1 result. A search for "wall e forum" brings us up as #2. Unfortunately a search for "wall*e forum" doesn't seem to bring us up on the first or second page, and I think some people may've got the mistaken idea early on that the * was a replacement for a dash or interpunct. |

Hey, that's cool! I just tried it myself! This could help us to get even more members!

We dropped to #2 for some reason.  But a search for WALL*E Forum now shows us at #3! |

I don't see how the site that's beating us, MovieTome, is even competing. They don't even have a full page of topics.

I wish I understood how this worked. Now we're below Rotten Tomatoes and Amazon.com's WALL-E Forum's too. It seems strange, considering we're focused solely on WALL-E, but I guess it's based solely on hits and we must be slowing down on unique hits or something. And of course obviously Google doesn't/couldn't take into account quality of posts....but Rotten Tomatoes...seriously?  Ah well, we're still #2 as "wall e forum", and #1 as "wall*e forum". |

I think it's one of those situations where you have to introduce your friend Ben Franklin (or a couple hundred of them) to a Google Executive  |

Well, all the more reason that everyone's efforts to do "word of mouth" through links in sigs, blogs, etc. is really worthwhile. Just so long as the serious WALL-E fans can find us, it's good.  |
