2008-09-24 [DeeJay™]: are all exported wikis entered into this by default? or would one have to declare their wiki beforehand?

2008-09-25 [Hedda]: Basically every page is included as I look at which pages that are well visited by new visitors. But you should tell us and you might get some help.

2008-09-25 [DeeJay™]: oooh.. how do you do that? xD
do the rest of us know? or just you?

2008-09-25 [Hedda]: I check the logs. They aren't public information.

2008-09-25 [DeeJay™]: okay, cool :]
well, i would hope that the new 'Top 10' would draw a few folks into EP. it's filled with songs this week ^^

2008-09-26 [Hedda]: You can use the stumble-button and make links to it from other sites. Link to the exported wiki-page, because it's shorter and generally better.

2008-09-26 [DeeJay™]: uhh.. okay o.o
i'll see what i can find :3

2008-09-28 [Faith.Hope.Love]: You can use the stumble-button and make links to it from other sites.

[Hedda], would you mind explaining this a bit more? I would really like to understand this better. I have tried placing high ranking links on some of my wiki pages, but I haven't noticed a significant difference in how they come up in the Google searches. I try to read everything I come across on this topic, including what you have written in various places, but I don't think I'm getting it entirely. I also use your recommended format with the title and the keywords as well.

2008-09-29 [DeeJay™]: uh, what i did was actually click the 'stumble' button (next to the words 'wiki-page rating'), and write a short review on my wiki, before signing up (got to, unfortunately :\ but watch out for the toolbar they try to install), and then confirm it through my email.
i dont know if it's actually made a difference, mind.. x]

2008-09-29 [Hedda]: [Faith.Hope.Love]: You need to link to it from a high ranked page, before it really makes a difference. It's extra good if it's a relevant page but on a site otherwise not related, I guess. But it's hard to know exactly how Google does this, and they update the algoritm all the time. But if it's easy to find for people reading about the subject everywhere else, then it's probably good.

[DeeJay™]: If the ones Stumbling around like it, then it might become very popular. If not... It will give a few clicks. Many people submitting it is better, I guess.

2008-10-01 [Faith.Hope.Love]: You need to link to it from a high ranked page...

Ahh! The keyword being 'from' a high ranked page, instead of 'to' a high ranked page. Now I understand the significance of getting my Pegasus image linked 'from' PegasusLair2000 to Elftown's Pegasus, because PegasusLair2000 is a very high ranked page. Correct? Hmm..... 

2008-10-03 [Hedda]: No, it's not a high ranked page at the moment and I doubt it will ever be. But links are never bad.

www.elfwood.com is a high ranked page for example. If you have a Google toolbar you can see the page-rank of the pages you're visiting.

2008-10-05 [Faith.Hope.Love]: So it has nothing to do with coming up as the 4th listed from the top of the page for "Pegasus Art" for a 'web' search and listed first for an 'image' search (even though the image 'shown' links back to elftown.eu/_Pegasus)? I had a Google Toolbar and I did away with it, not sure why. I'll get it again, because I really like to do searches periodically. I do see Elfwood a lot in my searches. Almost applied there a few times, but I changed my mind. I didn't think my art would be acceptable there. What I find really interesting? Your Elftown photo is on a couple of pages. When I clicked on it, I was taken to my ET house. Hmmm....

2008-10-06 [Hedda]: It has something to do with coming up 4th listed from the top, yes. But it's still not a highly ranked page.

2008-10-08 [Faith.Hope.Love]: I see.. I think. ;) I downloaded the Google Toolbar. I see that site is at 3/10 for Google's rating of its importance. Mainstuff registers at the same as well as Mainstreet on ET. I was surprised to see that my ET house has a ranking at all. http://www.wikipedia.org/ is at 9/10, but I kinda' expected this ranking for wikipedia. Interesting. 

Off topic: I want to download another browser, because I often use 2 browsers at a time, currently Firefox and IE. I so dislike IE, though. Does Opera support images?

2011-10-06 [DeeJay™]: do you think there's a chance of my EP Independent's Top 10: Internet Games wiki being featured? i googled 'top 10 internet games' and it was on page 2 (of over a million pages). i'd imagine 'internet games' would be a popular search, and 'top 10 internet games' is linked from that search as the first one
(e.g. "Searches related to internet games:
top 10 internet games
online games
multiplayer internet games
flash games
etc).
think there's a chance?

2011-10-06 [kittykittykitty]: Yeah I found it on the 2nd page too, nice one C:

2011-11-07 [Stephen]: Is this contest still being monitored?

2011-11-08 [DeeJay™]: is anything..?

2011-11-08 [Stephen]: Lots of things are, now. :P

2011-11-09 [kittykittykitty]: I'm not sure how we see which pages are most popular. Hedda?:)
