Wow....Google has for some reason started indexing about 3000 additional pages of Armorama. That means that some posts, reviews, and features are now coming up in their index.
That is great news!! And probably why our web traffic has been surging. Speaking of surging... here is a very funny Dave Barry article. For you non-US folks this guy is hilarious (well to us he is).
This is fantastic news! If anything is sure to bring in new members, it's the Big-A showing up on search engine "hits".
My big regret is that it took me so long to find Armorama... and the chief reason was that it didn't come up in searches...
OK, let's bang the drum a bit! How about this for a late New Year Resolution; post a Review (or Preview) of the next kit you buy... if we all do this, just think how many more "hits" we can generate for the site... (and how many more editors will curse my name.... when they get time! )
Get posting!!

Wow!,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm flaberghasted! On a Google search 'Treadhead' is #12 and it shows the few things in my 'Gallery' as well. Apparently the word 'Treadhead' is popular with the mountain biking crowd, especially Yakima. If not, who knows, I might have been #1!!!! #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-)

I tried on "special hobby barracuda review"... and we came out 3rd and 4th! (thanks to A-UK as well...) !!
A friend of mine would say "Suck on that, Hyperscale and ModelingMadness... but, of course, I couldn't possibly comment..." (sorry - an English joke there... )
Great news for the site!

Hmmm... I'm not to sure I like this. I did a search for Halfyank and the very first hit, out of about 50, is my gallery along with my smiling face. Hope all my bill collectors can't see this. This is great Jim. At least I'm taking your word it's great. I don't know all about these web traffic things, but you seem to.

Can this have something to do with me using a form to add the site to multiple search engines ..... the form would add to Dutch search engines and....google is one of them according to the form.....
I've read the article of the Miami Herald and yes, he is hilarious. One conclusion, politicians or would be politicians seem to be the same all over the world: Hot air blowers.
