Is MMA's SEO working?

SEO is search engine optimization, the stuff that the webmaster does with page title, page description and page body, fixing certain ratios of keywords; this is what help his website to show up on good positions in Google searches. SEO is what made PA a great success - almost all its users found it by searching up music on Google.

I had a hunch and I Googled certain major metal albums. Almost all of the searches don't show MMA in the first 10 pages of results. I don't know if the searches show MMA at all because after the first 10 pages I'd get bored of looking. Albums I've seached are albums like Master Of Reality, Powerslave, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence or Ghost Reveries. The only album whose page on MMA I could find is Marrow Of The Spirit (it was on page three of results).

BTW all these albums have pages on PA too, and those were showing up on pretty good positions, often on page 1.

Hmm...I�m sure Phil/ Max will see this thread and respond. It does sound a bit concerning.

We are aware of that ... SEO is working but since MMA is a new site, GOOGLE is including MMA slowly in the index and also the more other sites links MMA the better position we will get, it's a long thing.

^ already thought about it but I don't want to drive people away from PA in that non-subtle way .... 

I think that�s a good disposition. We don�t want to annoy the members of PA by trying to "steal" their members. Those who are interested will find their way to MMA in time. That doesn�t mean you can�t advertice for MMA in your regular talk with people in the PA forum. There�s no hurt in telling people about the site if the opportunity arises.
