TWA on the search engines - Kairos - 02 Mar, 12
Just to cheer everybody up - the kinship is still holding first position on all major search engines, including Google and DuckDuckGo:

So we're out performing NATO then!

Aye, but that's easy...
We end up as 3rd hit (1st actual kinship) when searching for 'Kinship Laurelin'.
And the one I can't stand is searching for 'Lotro Kinship'... we're way down on the 2nd page, while our fellow Laurelineans from The Rangers are the first kinship in the list.

You have to bear in mind that google etc knows a LOT about you I assume through cookies etc they know you regularly visit TWA you would probably get different results using for example an internet cafe computer
Re: TWA on the search engines - Inca - 02 Mar, 12

Could be, Xim, though on general principles I've done everything possible to ensure that bloody Google knows as little as possible about me...

After clearing up my browser history, clearing cookies, reseting and acquiring new IP from my ISP and going behind a proxy, I've run a search on google for "The Western Alliance", without the quotes.
And we ARE holding 1st place. Tbh I don't know what else I could do to try to fool google.
When I did a search for "lotro kinship" TWA was on 9th place.
