Complete:

• Theme seems to fit well, however can change it if desired.
• Analytics set up for site tracking – confirmed
• Copied Information from Wikipedia.
• We are on Google search.

To Do:

• Add History, Photos, Contacts, etc…
• Add Links to local services.
• Add a How To guide

How will we become searchable?  Well for one, we need to have content.   If we provide historical photos,  member photos and group photos, that will be a start.  Also, spreading the link around anywhere we can will help.  Honestly, if this is the top result when you search ‘River Road VFC’ we wont have any issues.  Considering that video just has 39 views.

It will take some time, but it will be the top result if we continue to add content.

Linking to local services will also help – as in web curtosy, they should link back to us somehow. Mind you that doesn’t always happen.

The How To Guide will be a guide to describe how to post and use this website, in order to produce the best results.

Hopefully you like it so far :)
