Title: Google respects our authority!

Check it out - I'm very pleased about this. If you search google uk for 'songwriter forum' this site is listed as an 'authority' domain. That means we get a beefed-up listing showing a few of the best sections as well as the home page :)

Well done, folks! :)

Haha if only! Funny thing is I'm supposed to be an expert at all this stuff, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make a profit out of this site without compromising its soul (not prepared to do it.) We had 500k page views last month - and generated not quite enough revenue from google ads to cover hosting.

But hell, I never started a forum to make money :)
