Finding this site

If I type manalink in google, manalink.de is the first result. This forum is not in the result set. I'm sure there are a lot of lost souls from the other site that are looking for us but having no luck. Does anyone know how we can register this forum with google?

Takes time, number of sites linking here and other things which make the goole rank.
It ain't so bad, currently we're on the 2nd page when typing manalink update. If you post the links on other sites we should be on the 1st page pretty soon.

I found it by googling 'manalink forum'. I'd been checking manalink.de every day until one day I had the inspiration to try that. I had the idea one day that perhaps there might be a new site somewhere, and this website is exactly what I was hoping to find, though I wasn't expecting an already established site with other projects besides the Microprose modding. I think I'll survive, though! :D

Welcome aww1979.

Snacko is right. Bog Wraith has already discussed this with me and there's not much we can do except keep posting and letting Google and the other search engines crawl us which they do every day. Current search rankings are

manalink = #46, buried under a lot of torrents
Manalink 2.0 = #9
manalink forum = #9
manalink update = #15

Of course, we're looking for a top ten ranking.

I've posted about us at MTG Salvation several times. You guys should spread the word wherever you can get away with it without being called a spammer.

There are tricks Goblin Hero could use to speed things up, but we'll climb the rankings regardless.
