The default/index page in the primary directory is a redirect page to the forum. That's one reason.

Another reason is that there are no meta tags for "keywords" and "description" once you get to the forum.

Oooh, my specialist subject.

Flickr, the top result has far more 'back links' to Stereo2go than Stereo2Go has to itself, combined with the overall poplarity of Flickr this sadly means that it gets ranked higher.

A search for 'stereo 2 go' is searching for three very common terms & will throw up a whole bunch of non-relevant crap. A search for "stereo 2 go" with inverted commas ensuring the three elements in that order will still return crap because the sentence 'stereo 2 go' will exist is so many more popular locations than our dear S2Go i.e. eBay, Yahoo.

Conclusion, we are a victim of our own success. Stereo 2 go isn't a particularly obscure word. If we were called 'Splodgemingecustardscrape' then if a user types this then we would be the only site returned.

Go figure.
