The little forum that could

[Ofnuts]

Alexa sort of measures your traffic (how exactly if you aren't an affiliate, I don't know). If you want to go up you need to have more traffic. To have more traffic you have to show up on Google. Currently people coming here mostly searched "Gimp forum" on Google. Another good share searched for large icons themes for Gimp. Various places already spotted by Google as heavily Gimp related also link here, like my SourceForge pages and several of my answers in the StackExchange network. Getting known is slow. It took GimpForums.com at least three years to show up on Google's radar. We seem to be doing somewhat better, but we didn't really start from scratch, Rich, Kevin, Blighty and I are carrying over the experience gained on GimpForums.com.
