I've noticed that when searching for YRIHF articles in Google, if I look up

You Read It Here First + keyword, we don't show.

But if I put in a .com after the word First.

You Read It Here First.com + keyword, we do show.

Is it in our metadata...or something else?

With dashes:

http://www.google.com/search?q=you-read-it-here-first&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

No results in the first 10


Without dashes

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=XAR&q=you+read+it+here+first&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

No results in first 10


With first.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=qV6&q=you+read+it+here+first.com&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

It is quite a common phrase. Google ignores the dashes it seems.

I'm not sure how I would raise our visibility. I see no provision for
adding tags, and I'm not sure that it quite makes sense. I've always
thought that the particular phrases we use in our postings would be
the thing that makes this site visible.

Just for grins, I tried it with America's fastest growing indexxer, Bing ( http://bing.com )

Searching on You Read It Here First did not produce results.

But You-Read-It-Here-First put us at the top -- (and didn't need a .com, although with a .com we were still #1).

Another good one for us is YRIHF.

With Google with got some hits in the top ten (one of those is Brian Hansen's home page).

With Bing! our site got several in the top ten results.

(Brian, I think you are owner of the YRIHF.com domain...better hold on to that one!)

Something seems to have changed.

I typed

you read it here first

in Google and now we're the 1st site returned.

No .com, no quotes, just those words in that order.
