XTreme Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 As you know we changed the name of the site a month ago to appeal to a wider demographic. It was a calculated risk given that we were the third place site on searches for "Adventure Motorcycle Forum". The problem there was that because we'd put all our eggs in one basket in terms of Adventure, we were nowhere on searches for "Motorcycle Forum" which is the main search term. The risk we took with the name change was that we would end up nowhere on either search term for some considerable time. So essentially it would be back to square one! However after one month (due to numerous 301 redirects, new meta descriptions, page headers, and thousands of backlinks), Motorcycle Riders has now taken over Adventure Motorcycle's number three position on Google for Adventure searches. So we retained what we had! And totally unexpectedly we are now on Page 4 for searches under "Motorcycle Forum". We never had anything like that on the old domain even after a year! So it's a good result so far. Others seem to be noticing because I saw that another forum had taken our main meta description and slightly modified it for their own use. But then......I'm always prepared to help others out! What you say @Tym? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Oh FFS! Now this is where Mods and Admins need to step in and tell him that "gay" is not a taboo word on the site! And.....very important.....he cannot apply his own values and rules and designate what is or isn't acceptable on the forum. But no doubt they didn't do that did they? So the same situation is going to reoccur again with somebody else and with another word that he doesn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
