A good warrior is a patient warrior...

I am back from the dead, with a lesson learnt in patience. Some of you might remember me from half a year ago when my site had moved to a new domain and was struggling terribly. I tried everything under the sun {well except for spamming} to get my site in a visible area of google, nothing seemed to be working well, and so I gave up the fight, and focused instead on improvement of the site itself. I revamped the appearance, and the site's layout, etc. and focused on helping the forum's members enjoy it better. I wasn't building links or anything for the better part of a year. And wouldn't you know, we wound up okay on google and other search engines and best of all the links now come from my happy members recommending the site to others. Most often though they simply invite people directly.

Patience works! Go for long term success and you will see results. I just want to encourage the people here who are now where I was last year. It will not happen in a few weeks or months most likely. And most of all you won't have anything to hide from google since it will all be legit to their eyes.
