Try doing a search for the highroad!

Goodluck!

Other sites came right up when I did even partial name searches. Hardcoretalk, FALfiles, battlerifles, etc.

thehighroad, it seems, isn't all that popular!

:rolleyes:

Yeah, has nothing to do with the way Google meta crawls, I'm sure.

At the Illuminati Summer Fest '03, they decided that THR wouldn't be popular. :(

"thehighroad" gets lotsa links to here. " thr" does nothing useful, and "the high road " doesn't refer here either. (Quotes above used here only, not in Google search.)

[Justin]

I'm sure that the fact that the words 'the' 'high' and 'road' are fairly common as words in the English language go would have nothing to do with it, either.

Actually, many forum websites use some sort of software that prevents search engines from finding them. Nothing sinister here, it just prevents a lot of meaningless hits. For example, if you are registered on 10 or 15 different forum sites and have several hundred posts on each, a Google search on your name, without this type of software, would return a hit for every single post you've ever made.

I don't know, when I type in 'thehighroad.org' it provides a link to this forum.

[mpthole]

I'd like to know how to get my sites actually listed in Google... maybe someone can PM or e-mail me...?

[raz-0]

want to get high in googl ranking, have a lot of crawled pages link to you while having lots of relavent content to the search term. (i.e. not tons of metatags).

when most people link the thr.. they have the url.. hence the match is thehighroad

i disagree with the anti gun statement about google.

i use that search engine to find pics or articles about different guns always mentioned here that i dont know about or havnt seen before. or anytime i need to get to a manufacture sight. even some oddball ones. so i think google is pretty good.

however finding a message board is rough using a search engine though.
try finding a message board for a hnda motorcycle. i finally found one through word of mouth

When you enter "The High Road" you indeed will wear your scroll button out looking for us. However you have to remember that the parent site "A Human Right" has more hits. When I entered A Human Right, the second entry was the correct site. To be honest "a human right" has a cool ring to it.

PS The new Google toolbar 2.0 is great and has finally been upgraded from beta to official form. It has a very good pop-up blocker and is free. Go pop-up blocker. It even works at weather.com

Google is indeed anti. They sell advertising. They will NOT sell advertising to anyone dealing in firearms or firearms related gear.


They are the enemy.

Take a look at who owns them.

Is there a search engine that is openly pro second amendment? Or even a computer manufacturer or software company? I’m afraid you can’t sling a dead cat without hitting an anti in this medium. The nature of the beast.

Nothing to stop us from using them to undermine their cause and be a thorn in their side. Think of how it makes them feel to see their work being used to support The Highroad. Yea Baby.

I'm sure Google is "anti", but the search engine works as advertised.

You simply need to be more specific in your search terms. using "The High Road" will bring up hundreds of links to sites that use "high" and "road" in the title - the film High Road to China seems to dominate.

If you use "High Road Firearms Forum" you'll find that THR comes up as the #1 spot.

The same lesson applies to any other search you might want to make on Google, or any other search engine. The more specific you are, the more you narrow the choices and the more likely you are to find what you are looking for.

Open Google - type in the phrase "Weapons of mass destruction" - click on "I'm feeling lucky".

[Quartus]

Don't mention that, Atticus - it's OT. I posted that long time back and got scolded and the thread was locked. :rolleyes:

Yep - just don't support them financially. Don't click on their paid advertisers. See one you like? Open a new window and type in the address. Can't be bothered? Yeah, that's why we've got so many socialists in office. Too many of you can't be bothered.

So true, enough people do that and their advertising space will be useless. Google indexes my site quite often, no problems there...

One of the issues with search engines and spiders is that sometimes they have trouble with odd URL's, for example the one I'm on right now is:

http://www.thehighroad.org//newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=35626

Note the extra slash after the hostname, and the passing of parameters to a PHP script. This can sometimes cause webcrawlers to not index a site fully. This is fixable via URL re-rewriting, but many hosts don't bother (I do on my site though).

As someone pointed out "the high road" is not exactly an uncommon phrase. Try typing in "the high road firearms" and it comes right up.
