Guess which website is number one in google for webdesign and development help and web development help

Monie · Feb 20th, 2008, 05:06

Cool...

sekuchi · Feb 21st, 2008, 14:53

Congrats to all of us...

rob has worked hard at getting the forum up there

don't mean to spoil the party but, I hardly think a newbie is gonna search for "web design and development help". It's great to know that the association has been established with all those words, but IMO, the important results are "web development help" and "web design help" individually.

webforumz is 1st for "web development help" and only 6th for "web design help" - but it's the only forum in the top 10, so users looking for a forum will get here in the end.

Oh, did anyone notice the competition? (72,000,000)
Now THAT is something...

Holy crap!

I am impressed.

Now, let me be the one to ruin your excitement. If you search Google for "web design and development help", what unitedcraig originally did, you will not find WebForumz within the first 10 pages at all. I didn't go further than that so I don't know on what page it actually is, but I know it's far, far behind.

And the proof is attached!

So, Craig, not sure what you did, but that screenshot is not accurate. WF is NOT the first result!

unitedcraig · Feb 21st, 2008, 22:17

i search on google.co.uk, not .com.

and if you see the attached screen shot, you will see that WF is 6th on .com, and the reason that it is not on the first 10 pages is that it's on the first lol, just under where your screen shot ends lol

Well that's what happens on mine anyway :S

unitedcraig · Feb 21st, 2008, 22:22

May be something to do with this??

How do i get search engines to do this to my site

spinal007 · Feb 21st, 2008, 23:18

of course, google.co.uk will give preference to UK hosted websites whereas google.com will give preference to US hosted websites...

Stuart · Feb 22nd, 2008, 01:06

OK. Since you think that I cut off result #6, I zoomed out and did a fullscreen shot. What now? No WF anywhere on the page! It's because you're logged in, and Google gives preference to sites that you visit often. If you weren't logged in like me, and you cleared your cache, you'd get the same result. No WF on any of the first 10 pages!

unitedcraig · Feb 22nd, 2008, 06:28

Fair enough :S, you mean logged into WF or google?

Monie · Feb 22nd, 2008, 06:38

To Webforum I think..

unitedcraig · Feb 22nd, 2008, 06:49

To WF and Rob's SEO skills

Cheers!

No Stuart, you don't see webforumz because it's hosted in the UK and Google gives preference to US hosted website when you search on Google.com. We're searching on google.co.uk.
THAT's why you don't see it for the first 10 or whatever pages....

Rob · Feb 22nd, 2008, 10:12

Although, we are 1st for 'web design forums' in google uk. second on .com

Even if you strip the 's' from forums we're stil in the top 5 on both.

Same for 'web development forums'

Those terms are also just a drop in the ocean -we have tons more impressive ones.
