Anyone here do any IT work or know anything about SEO?

I'm wondering why our forums aren't indexed on google yet. I'm thinking I added the link to the forum archive on the homepage a bit late and google hasn't found it yet, but it's taking it's time.

Anyone have any experience with this and can suggest anything?

I have sent another hint their way. Hope it works this time ;)

90% of the first few hits apperantley pay to be the first.

Nah, google doesn't accept money for rankings.

hmmm, i was told they were, i guess its based on how many times the word ur searching for apears on that page

It's more complex than that as well.

Google rankings are based on a web of links to it, and countless variables within that. Look around for some info on it online... quite interesting actually.
