As we know from the bot Google is finding this site, as does Yahoo. Worth doing some searches on scdbbc to raise the profile Very Happy

I have submitted the address to bing as it was not finding this site apart from as part of a single post from Chris82 on the bbc blog reply. Always found bing blummin useless but most people don't realise it is their default search engine. Mad

I think its a way to help other people find the site, or at least to make more people aware of its existence - but, as usual, am prepared to suffer correction.....

The various search engines out there such as Google are used by people to find interesting websites and forums.

The more a particular site is found and selected following a search the higher up the list it gets.

Google searches do find SCDBBC but other search engines do not.

Bots are the search engines finding the site.

(Puts on the nerd hat). It's a fair bit more complicated than that Mrs A. There are several things that'll put a site towards the top of a search engine's list, but a key one is how many other sites link back to that site. Back in a previous life I spent hours listening to online Marketing types banging on and on about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation - in laymans terms how to get to the top of the list). The only thing I really learned is that no sooner do you think you've got it sussed than Google decide to change all the rules.

(takes off the nerd hat). I quite like the fact that it takes a bit of effort to find this site. As Basil Fawlty would say - "no riff-raff".
