Wondering about Optiboard ratings...........

[Chris Ryser]

Having done a lot of reading how to get best ratings and having applied some on my own website with quite some success i am wondering about:

1) the Google rating dropped from 5 to 0 after the remake and general improvements.

2) the Alexa rating has steadily improved over the last few month, so the traffic picture looks good.

Having successfully applied reciprocal linking on my own site I ckeched for the Optiboard link page and can't find it anymore.

Knowing that Google rating has a lot to do with reciprcal linking could it be the reason on the weird behavior by Google not to rate Optiboard?

Not sure what you mean Chris. I haven't made any changes to the Links page is a long time. In fact it's pretty much neglected because I am waitng for a new version of vB that will have a built-in links page.

Old neglected links page:

I've never really understood the Google rating system nor how to check it. The actual pages Optiboard pages that Google have indexed went from less than 200 to over 20,000 since the software upgrade:
