Google

For some reason, Google has decided to treat us like a real, proper, big site and it's done the category thing...

I know this is sad, but I seem to spend half my time making sure we get max visibilty, so this is a little success for me and I have to tell someone.

Charles, I think you need a new search engine....

I try and focus on the popular ones. There are scripts running every night to keep google up to date, as most larger sites do. No one optimises for Jeeves, at 0.3% of search engine activity.

A Google search for "honda civic 2006" shows us as the 6th hit!

1. Honda website for civic sedan
2. Honest John review
3. consumerguideauto (sedan version)
4. spy photos from edmunds (also sedan version)
5. the site of the choir who 'sang' the advert
6. CIVINFO - yeah!

So basically, if you're looking for the non-sedan version, via Google, we're second!
