    Default DuckDuckGo, where's Project Avalon Forum?

    Is this happening to anyone else? I was pretty sure this webpage was on the first three results using the DuckDuckGo browser page, but now I just can't find the forum in the results.



    Went down a few screens and still nothing? How odd is this?

    Thanks RogueEllis, your pic gave me a clue, I just tried on Internet Explorer and had the same results you did, with the Project Avalon Community Forum as 1st result.



    Can you or anyone else try with Google Chrome which is the browser I'm using?

    I would use "projectavalon" in 1 word in any search engine (most logical thinking)


    it is all about unique keywords!
    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...

    Well how about that? It worked like a charm!
    Also, avalonforum will also work but only as 2nd result.

    In any case, I think that's me stop using some spaces on my future searches :D
    Thanks ExomatrixTV

    I'd suggest "Project Avalon", in quotes. That preserves the search term as a phrase, both words together.

    Interesting observations, thanks!

    When we eventually upgrade the forum software I have plans to do an SEO boost right after, should improve our visibility by quite a margin. Also Google prefers HTTPS sites, so this could possibly be related. (as we currently run NON-HTTPS due to software limitations..)

    All the best,

    Tommy
