    Are these "actual" members or some type of "news feeds" from those org that are always on INGO?

    I notice their names whenever I log on and see who is online as well.
    Thanks

    Minor correction: The search bots are crawling INGO all the time. They don't go looking through INGO after you enter a search; they've already crawled the site and indexed it in their databases.

    INGO has some pretty good cred with search engines. It's amazing to me how quickly new posts are searchable on Google.

    This is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) at its finest.

    * There is always new content. The site has about 1500 (or more!) new posts a day.
    * The web address for each thread includes the title of the thread, which helps increase the page's relevancy.
    * The thread in question usually has several key words that are repeated frequently and are related to the title of the page.
    * Fenway has done a great job of getting reciprocal links. Not only does he have several, they are generally high profile and they relate back to the content on this site.
    * The site gets thousands of hits a day.


    Search engines change their algorithms pretty regularly to keep people from gaming the system (remember when websites used to "hide" key words in the text of the page by making the font size small and the same color as the background?), but some things never change.
