To really improve the results and get found a LOT more - simply add some text to the home page - maybe replace a few of the spinning logos with some heading text. Or add some copy to the page explaining what the site is about - including a few keywords that Google can read and see what the site is about.
Which "home page" are you referring to Michael? The Main Site being main.australianxtrail.com or the www.australianxtrail.com?
The second one is just a cover page of our site with a gallery display, but it holds our main domain name (the registered domain)
It also includes many meta tags identifying the forum and I am positive the search engine picks-up on those.
As for the Main Site (main.australianxtrail.com) it has the meta tags too but it also has many xtrail subjects linked directly to the forum.
While the search engine (Australian Pages) may push our forum down a little, nearly all of the subjects covered in the forum are indexed and submitted to the search engine.
It'll be great if you can let us know how to improve our exposure to the search pages in Australia. Please email me at the admin mailbox.

Hi Jalal
Just finished off sending you an email about some ideas. Just wanted to cover the highlights here.
As the site is run within a Frame of australianxtrail.com - Google doesn't really get to see the content much or the Meta tags. Choosing View Source from either www. or main. - all you see is a blank page.
Meta Tags are good to have (Title and Description are the main ones - Keyword Meta tags largely ignored in favour of whats actually on the page) - but you still need to have visible content on the page to back them up.
When people select Pages From Australia from searching within Google - Google lists sites with .au as a domain first. You would need to get a .au domain to be found better in local searches.
There is more in the email for you to consider.
Obviously Google is picking up some of the site - that's how many of us found it. But a few changes would make it a lot more visible to Google and generate more traffic for you.
Michael

Re: How did you find this forum?
Thanks Michael,
I'll have a look and respond accordingly.
Am afraid the .au domain is not an option I would cosnider, as it is limited to businesses and corporations, which we're not. Furthermore, changing an already established and well known domain name in favour of the .au one would cause a LOT of headaches to everyone involved.

Re: How did you find this forum?
Jalal,
Could we register a .org.au which redirects to the .com ?
Then Google would list the .org.au higher and then everyone would be redirected to the .com which is the actual website and forum.
