    I use Google Chrome,so each time I log onto the site I just type subaru wrx forum in the address bar which is also the search bar.Until today clubwrx.net used to be the first site that came up.Today something strange happened and clubwrx has gone way down the order after wrxtuners,nasioc,iwsti,thesubaruforum,& wrxforum.Why has this happened,does it have to do with the amount of traffic going to the sites.Why the sudden downgrade?

    "Google Juice" is a funny thing. They revamp their search algorithm constantly; perhaps a subtle change was made that affected our place in the order.

    Why not just start typing "CLU" and let it fill in the rest for you? FF and Chrome both do it for me within 1 or 2 letters.

    I have no problem making the change.I was just wondering what happened.Since this was the site that first came up,most newbies like me were driven here.The new search results would reduce traffic to this site IMO.

    It's a good point. I'll mention to Tim that we might need to do some SEO. Thanks!

    Thanks for the heads up rage. I monitor the traffic and SEO but this change seems out of the blue and is quite puzzling to me. Our traffic has continued to be on a steady increase over the past several months and traffic from search engines like google have also been on the rise. It seems we have lost the sitelinks that appear when clubwrx is the top search result as well. I'll double check our webmaster tools settings but I'm hoping this change will correct itself soon. Google may have just detected some changes in our page and will put us back at the top of results when our pages are recrawled. Thanks again for the heads up.
