I was just playing around with google. If you just type homestar runner into google the wiki is the first entry on the second page... kinda spiffy if you ask me.

Not sure how long it's been this way, but we're now the last site listed on the first page! This is probably what's boosting our bandwidth. --

24 Mar 2004: We're getting better every day: Today we're #4 on the first page for searches for
[Homestar Runner]! Let's keep it up! --

Uh, I just have to say that the image here is a pretty pretty good. How did you do that, TallAndMerciless? I ask because I really don't think you went through the trouble of printing, numbering, writing, crumpling, ripping, and scanning. But hey, if you did, that's cool too. Maybe cooler. --
Tom
No trouble at all, but thanks. As you can see, I spent a lot of time doing the 'writing' portion of the work. -TallAndMerciless
Yeah, definetly cooler the hard way. Nice job. --
Tom
Oh no! As of today (March 25, 2004), we're back on the second page. Bummer. --
JoeyDay
The best way that everybody can help to get this page to the top (well, second-to-the-top) on Google is to make a permanent link to it on their web sites, with the words "Homestar Runner Wiki". Google calculates rankings based on how many sites link to a site and with what words for the link, so the more "Homestar Runner Wiki" links that are out there, the higher we'll be on the list.
P.S. We're still #4 for queries for "Strong Bad Email", and #7 for "Strong Bad", so we're not out just yet. :) --

Well, an easy way to make a website is with
[Freewebs]. There are no banner ads or pop ups, and it has an optional real-time page editor. So if everyone can just make a site like
InterruptorJones mentioned, then the hrwiki will be back on Page 1! ~

Yeah, but freewebs sites do not get on google, unfourtunatly. --
Lord Karkon (Belive me, it got me "sooo angry"!)
We
were number 9 but are now probably now on the 13th or so page because of this new transition, which I still don't understand the point of. -

As of 9.55 AM GMT we are No. 8 for the
[old H*R Wiki] address.

As of 5:30 CST 3/13/04, No. 8 for the old site, 14 for the new. -

I found an interesting place that links to us today:
http://susning.nu/Homestarrunner . This is a Swedish Wiki. I actually just updated the link for them. It was kind of hard to figure out Wiki commands in Swedish. --
Tom
Okay, this Swedish Wiki thing is so funny. At the page I linked to before, they have character descriptions for the 12 characters. Pretty simple stuff, it only looks like a few people update the pages. But... I can make some stuff out. For instance, the words "rap artist" and "Minnesota" on Coach Z's page. They even have some Homsar quotes. Man, the internet is great. --
Tom
As of 12:30 pm MDT on May 25, 2004, we're FOURTH again! --
JoeyDay
Woah! We're up to number THREE! Sweet. The only two sites above us are the stupid "which character are you" quiz and H*R itself!
