Does it mean I can have the guys to myself? Thought that's your right whether there are other (?) females around or not!

OK, I really don't think that the length of the address of this board is a problem, but do you think there would be more users if the board had an address like:
singa.alturl.com singa.funurl.com singa.bigbig.com singa.ebored.com singa.24ex.com singa.2hell.com singa.2freedom.com
Or indeed, expat instead of singa.
If yes, which one do you prefer?

Expatsg.com is taken already. Not sure about registration requirements for an org.sg, probably prohibitive. Expatsingapore.sg is occupied by the angry BM. Maybe we should bring him to court for actively hindering competition

expatsingapore.net expatsingapore.net.sg expatsingapore.per.sg
All above are available. The idiot hasn't had the brains to get these yet.
Your right MM, can't use .org unles a non-profit and registered as such.

If so, why aim such words at him? I gather he has done it on a voluntary and part-time basis, and we have been using the result of his efforts, ie this board. If it's someone else you mean, apologies - but it isn't clear.

Swordfish, same with expatsingapore.net.sg. Singapore will only give out .net domains to ISP's.

How about a board for good and bad service awards (not just restaurants & watering holes)? Smile.

Board Manager,
How much control do you have over the HTML code of the board home page? I'm not familiar with these boards so it may be that you are given everything ready and you can not add your own tags into the pages.
If you can add tags, then there are a couple things you can do:
1) Add some meta data where terms "expat singapore" "singapore discussion" etc. are repeated a number of times. This should make sure that Google lists you high up when someone searches for those phrases.
2) Add in microtext (i.e. the smalles font available - 1pt or so) a line "expat singapore expat singapore expat singapore..." to the front page. The font will be so small the text appears as horizontal line but google will pick it up anyway and up the search results you go.

repeating the same line of text or phrase using either hidden (text colour & Background the same) or microfonts will just result in getting dropped altogether in the ranking of google, yahoo, and most other large search engines. Those are old tricks that the spiderbots are now programmed to spot when crawling the sites. It will actually be bad for your sites health. Links from related sites are still the best way to get ranking hence better positioning up the boards. Have a read of the more reputable SEO's sites for more info. This is one you can use to see how the spiders see your site: tools.summitmedia.co.uk/spider/

So what is the conclusion??
I did open a geocities site, and added a lot of links to this board, but google still doesn't pick it up. Maybe it will in the future, or maybe it has dropped the site altogether, because of what sms says?
