Board URL: www.menorcainformationboard.com

Problem: I am getting quite alot of searches on my board which I presume are from search engines. I wanted help with the following

Can I put a code on which will identify search engines when they are looking at the site (similar to what members are on I have seen little items say google and msn next to when members are on the board)

SEO any tips of how to do this to bump up my rankings as not got a blooming clue how to do this as new at this

Other suggestions (this is a site only relating to Menorca so swapping links may not be a solution)

Thank you in advance (sorry if this should have been two posts have not been on for a bit so rusty lol)

Hi,

You can't get it to show that, no. It's something we'd have to implement. But generally, any IP starting 66. , 74. and 65. are google, yahoo and msn respectively.

To increase your pagerank. From what i understand, its based on a couple of things. The content of your site, and how many links there are to the site from other sites. So, wherever you are a member, and the opportunity is there, make sure you have your site in your profile, and signature.
