Anyone explain why this forum doesn't come up in google?

Unless you fix the words together. I think it can't be great for the forums ongoing growth can it?

Because i haven't optimised it for search engines yet, things like page tagging, metatags etc, will happen over time but right now however i am happy with people finding this via word of mouth, we have in excess of 500 registered users which is a more than healthy cadre, this is not a commercial operation so driving traffic here is not top priority right now.

Cool. I was curious as to how it all works, I know google gets paid for searches, I assumed everything else was automatically placed

It can also take a while before a site is recognised as worth showing.

Bing generally only has 4 or 5 results most of the time.

Well said ASMO. I search not planet rugby and it's easy enough to find. Obviously Planet Rugby and its hordes of writers with mad writin skilz comes up first but that's because it's reasonably well established and due to the lost country highway traffic it gets.
