    im guessing it is closer to the bottom of the page. Most people click the first 3 links (number 1 especially) so keep working! The higher you get up the more traffic.

    Edit: I just googled "xbox 360 forum" your not on the first page, sometimes it varies on different computers. :( sorry man its frustrating I have trouble with google too.

    I have taken a look over your search ranking and I am not seeing your site on google first page.

    Now, that does not mean it was not there once before, but as far as Yahoo and MSN, those don't get nearly as much traffic as you think. Google is taking over everything to be honest.

    Next thing that I noticed is that you have very little posting, I mean people post but the activity there is not consistent. This might be a very big reason why you don't have people staying and contributing.

    Not many people choose the number 10 result. also, not so many people us eMSN and Yahoo.
    Amother problem: The number 1 result is vety strong and gets sitelinks -and many people enter those

    Your rank on search engine will differ depending on your country and data center you are using. Apart form that how many queries are done for this keyword every month?
