Slowly climbing

Well, the site’s finally starting to show up in a standard Google search for Black Company Studios (previously you had to enter “Black Company” in quotes to find it). Hopefully we’ll make it onto the front page soon. Still don’t quite understand why Lionhead is ranked number one on that search though. Meh, the intricacies of Google’s ranking algorithm are not for the likes of us mere mortals to understand. 🙂

Update (25/09): Onto the front page now! My surreptitious linking from other places seems to be working. 😉

Tell me about it – I have to type in rather contrived search terms to get IGE or Saurus Games on the first page.

Sucks, but the situation will improve over time. I believe the trick is to make your page linkworthy. Why aren’t people linking to your site?

Putting the URL in forum signatures probably helps, but it also boosts the forum’s Google rating for the same terms. I don’t really mind though, as long as users can find IGE when searching for it.
