It does help when everything you post is not helpful to anyone. This isn't a damn chat room.
How can CarAudio.com be better? Please vote!

I see. I didn't realize private messages were public and viewed by Google. My error.

Exactly. How does allowing endless political conversation via private message help the site out with Google? It only takes up server resources. As far as why your posting restrictions in The Lounge were put in place, we've been over this dozens of times now. You couldn't follow simple forum rules to stop insulting and name calling. That doesn't help anyone or anything and Google doesn't like it either. I gave you numerous chances...
BTW, hate to be a gnat but the issue of the page loading to the top instead of last read message has returned. Everything else is good.
Lets turn it back into a CarAudio board, let the shitposting on feelings and politics slide off into the lounge and disappear. I remember Cstang and Jeffdachef... members who would either demand your respect or flame you while they posted without debate. And quite a few more as well, new members opinions are welcome of course but... to sell it to a noob (new member) is YIKES!
I'm happy to be part of this forum and contribute what I feel I can, others call out the bs usually so thank you as well.

Hopefully the google lawsuit will bring more foot traffic. I know you mentioned they heavily favored Reddit which I noticed it all searches. Have you ever checked with other search engines like DuckDuckGo?

Very weird, as that template has not changed. It still goes to the last post for me even if I’ve viewed the thread over and over. It goes to last read post. Could be your cache?

100%. I don’t mind some off-topic, but the main premise off the site is car audio.

I assume they will be given a plea deal, or fine that won’t amount to 1/100th of their daily revenue. They will simply keep the same wheel turning as usual in the end.US Considers a Rare Antitrust Move: Breaking Up Google

LOL - I was part of a google class action lawsuit regarding how google was redirecting traffic. Got a check for 12 cents. That'll show google.

Yea, that’s about what it may amount to. Their stock is down quite a bit today though
When I query car audio forums I get this:
That's about as good as one can expect, if looking for forums. When I query car audi junk the first forum that pops up is DIYMA then, after 4 pages, nothing on CA.C
When I query car audio help I get this:
Car audio install: Crutchfield (not going to list reddit or crutchfield any further, just assume they are on every query I do.
what is a good car amplifier:
DIYMA appears on the first page, CA.C nowhere to be found, quit at page 6 as most will anyway.
Do I need crossovers in my car:
Again, DIYMA, first page, and 2nd page, CA.C, stopped looking on page 5.
how do i add a subwoofer to my car stereo:
DIYMA, 2 hits on page 1, CA.C, quit looking on page 4.
These are pretty basic questions that should be pulling CA.C just like DIYMA. What can be done, is there anything we can do to help the Algorithm along?

Yep, the issue is the actual threads themselves not being indexed well by Google. They rank them so far back that no one sees them and prioritizes Reddit and diyma to no end. This all goes back to the useful content update I spoke of that occurred last September. Nothing has gotten any better and Google still hates the site. They have given no definite reasons why the site is classified this way and no one there to speak with, of course… The site is ranked just fine on all other search sites.
I’ve tried everything I know and had professionals check into it, no luck. Nothing will change until Google changes their ways.
Traffic. If Google is using site traffic as a reference point, the traffic shows whether I'm reading posts, posting posts, or private messaging.
I never navigate direct to the site because my cache is cleared regularly, and I don't have it in "favorites". CAF is always the 3rd item in the search results, and I link to it from the Google search. That helps the site.
As for the "numerous chances", I am not sure if you are the one mod or if there are several, but I was never afforded any warning or explanation as to why it was unacceptable for me to regularly call other members out for posting flat-out lies, but it is OK for them to make threats of violence, post potentially slanderous falsehoods and dangerous misinfomation, and when their BS gets challenged to always respond with some variant of "go **** d***s" or some other homophobia. Literally HUNDREDS of times. Seems rather lopsided.
And to be honest, I asked the question MANY times, and was simply ignored. This is why I'm responding here.
Yes, we are talking about an off-topic thread. But if the off-topic thread should not be off-topic, must be policed to control the members from speaking freely, is not wanted, and provides no value in Google's eyes, then maybe the site should not have it?
I am members of other forums that have a different primary focus, and they have similar off-topic "rooms" where the discussions are all over the map. Some of them go leaps and bounds beyond what I've ever seen here. Yet, those sites have great traffic and rank very high on the Google search results.
Food for thought.
