What has happened ?? We are not on the search engines anymore !!
« on: July 02, 2017, 09:12:02 am »
I have noticed how slow it has been recently so decided I would do a search to find out why ??  I just put "antique forums" in the search engine to see what comes up !!  Everything except Antique-shop was there !!  Anyone have a clue why ??  We used to be one of the top/first three listed !!  Try it and see if you can find it !!

I did a search for "antiques forum" and it came up on the first page, but towards the bottom... But yes, it is a bit quiet lately, maybe people just look at the top results...

Yeah, it has been slooooooooooooooooo oooooooooow in here, i check in every week or so to see if there is any furniture posted and, it's been awhile. I did a google search
 " antique forums" and we came in at #3, not bad actually so i don't think that's it.

https://www.google.com/search?q=antique+forums&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS745US745&oq=antique+forums&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.8645j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

EARTH TO MARTHA, come in dear, are you there? At this point in the internet age, yahoo doesn't matter, it's ALL about google search, 10 years ago yahoo, msn/bing, etc mattered and maybe 10 yrs from now google won't matter either but as of july 3, 2017, Google is ALL that matters, trust me. You are talking 80% or more of the search market.

So where does that leave us? Google search position, CHECK! Search term, CHECK! Maybe the old women in here are driving posters away!? J/K, i think it's just slooooooooooooooooo oow, it happens.
Another thing, it's officially summer now, i would guess 1/4 of people where i am, charlotte nc, is on the coast at the beach this july 4 holiday, it's only 3 hrs away by car. People are out and about more this time of year.

Mars to Jacon4,, anyone home down there ??  It has been this way for two months at least !!  Yes we can plan on it being slower but not dead  !!  Other forums do not seem to be slowing down much !!

There is another possibility and, i hate to bring this up but.............. the software on this site is rather dated, antique you might say. It's difficult to post pic's, the photo quality is poor and the site often is MIA for days at a time, just sayin

Just did a quick google and came up with this, i don't post here but one thing i notice is, the pic quality is very good compared to here and seems like much more activity

... maybe people just look at the top results...

That's what I do whenever I do a Google search.
Only if I can't find exactly what I'm looking for in the top 3 resulys do I read the next 4+ results.

Well, i think this site is in SERIOUS need of updating!!! It's not 1995 kids, it's 2017! I just joined that forum i posted, did a post on the introductory forum thingy, posted a few pics of bird chest & already have 6-7 comments in LESS THAN AN HOUR!

LADIES!!!! you need to get off your stools/stumps and START YOUR ENGINES! you are being passed by in the marketplace on forums! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
