My website makes it on the second page of google when you type in "download the land before time tv episodes." It also comes up on the second page if you type in "download the land before time tv series." The only good way to get a site indexed well on google is backlinks, backlinks, backlinks!
That's why if you just type in "the land before time tv episodes" or "the land before time tv series" I'm on the 100 and something'th page. People backlink to me using the name "download" and "land before time" and "tv episodes".
You must also remember that google doesn't index websites, it indexes web pages. Just for an example, go to google and type in your username here. It should pop up a thread or two you've posted here because it indexed those PAGES, not the website "z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive"
Petrie, if you want to make this website come up on the first few pages of google when you type in "the land before time forum" or "land before time forum", it's really not that hard to do, but we'll need help from a lot of members here. One mistake you made however was calling this site a "message board". People are more familiar with "forum".
If you type in "the land before time" on google, the wiki result will come up. Why? Because there are so many backlinks to it. If you look at the page source they've put very mild effort into the website content itself to make it show up on the first page of google.
So how do we get this site on the first few pages of google? We have to backlink in every way we can. Just register at any forum and put a link in your signature to here. Make sure to make it say something like "click here to go to the land before time forum!"
Getting a new domain name would do wonders too Petire. People can still go to "z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive", but you should make a new domain name "landbeforetimeforum.co.nr" just to attract google more.
Backlinking isn't just so you can attract attention of members of the site you're backlinking on. It also makes you rank better on google.
The meta name is also essential. If anything else, you should change it to "the land before time forum" over and over and over.
Hidden comments also helps in some cases. Since you didn't make this site from scratch, google will most likely not catch on that you're using hidden comments to attract attention from googles tracking spiders.
In conclusion, I did absolutely nothing to make my site come up on the second page of google. Backlinking is the #1 way to get results. If I did hidden comments and better meta names, I'm sure I could be the first on google, but I'm content where I am for now.
Here is the head section of the first page that comes up on google when you type in "download the land before time tv episodes":

As you can see, not much effort was put into the meta tags and crap of this site, even though it ranks first.
