The London OpenGuide doesn't show up when you google for 'London wiki'. It
would be nice if it did. Suggestions?

I guess that we need to get some people to link to it from blogs and
suchlike to try and get our "importance" up!

For what it's worth, we *do* actually show up - look at the eighth hit,
which is the Wikipedia entry for London, and read the excerpt under the
link. :) I know, it's not quite what we were hoping for, though...

It might also help if the word "wiki" appeared on the site. Curiously
enough, someone appears to have altered the site footer template to now read
"This wiki powered by OpenGuides (version 0.24)."....

Excellent! It would be even nicer if that said "version 0.25"...

Yes, for some reason, Google doesn't appear to have a pagerank for
openguides.org/london. Now, Google doesn't use pagerank that much
anymore, but it really does help. Also just make sure there aren't
robots.txt blocking Google or anything similar.
Personally, I'd come up with a list of terms you want to drive, and
then incorporate them into the homepage better. "wiki" is a very techy
term.

There aren't. I'm not sure why Google is reacting like this.

This is true. Suggestions anyone? Apart from "London", "guide" and
"free"....
