Forum promotion

[banpei]

Besides promoting ourselves on other sites we also need search engine promotion.

I'm currently working on a bit restyling of the site, in which a part is the search keys for search engines. Problem is that the site has to be indexed by a search engine first and I already applied for major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Yahoo and MSN have already done their job, but Google didn't. Apparently it did not work out the way I hoped, yet: the current ranking on Yahoo and MSN are quite low.

Google (and Yahoo) ranking are based on keywords and amount of links to sites and amount of links coming back from other sites. So ending up higher in ranks need to figure out good search keywords and links from and to other sites...

Then there is another issue that we have registered two other domains as well:
http://www.aeu86.org is the european site and http://www.ae86.nl is the dutch site. They will share the same forum (available under aeu86.org and trueno.org) but each of them have their own frontpage.

We are still thinking about the strategy to take with these two domains since we do not want to split up the community which has been built up the past few weeks and keep everything backwards compatible (e.g. trueno.org will be still available but will redirect to aeu86.org).
