It would be nice to rub this into Craig Anderton's face but who cares about him anyway. Nice work on that and the forums in general. And if you ever do need donations for the site don't be bashful about asking.

Nice. The company I work for does all organic SEO in the sites we build. A lot of hidden text and tags and stuff

I thought of that too, but I just tried it at work and it's #1 here too. And the interwebz here was terrible up until about a week ago and we never really used it, so I don't think anyone's been looking up guitar stuff.

I used to do this for a marketing electronics company as an intern. The company would sell refurbished electronics like monitors and I'd go to newegg or tigerdirect and look up keywords and put them in the tags of the html or something... You'd look up a monitor brand and size and our ad would come up towards the top of google

That's only if you search 'guitar amp forum' - I mean really - the URL of the website is guitarampboard......
I just tried 'amp forum' from my phone - had to go to page 13 to find us.
