I'm interested in any ideas you may have for getting keypicking more known to the locksport enthusiast community.


Lets hear them ;)

a good way is to mention keypicking in our youtube vid. Then all the people that see the vids will obviously be interested in lock picking so they will want to check this site out. I'll start putting the keypicking link in my youtube vids.

i appreciate you efforts on this guys, i will most probably start putting it into my videos somehow, if i ever get round to making more, most search engines are slowly starting to cache the board so that will help alot, the board is growing quite quickly as it is, if it continues to grow at the rate it's going it would be fantastic. as i've said before i can't thank you enough for your help on building this board up by adding material. i'm very appreciative.

Would linking to Digg help boost the rep? I see other sites mention Digg.com.

digg is a partner company with google and uses i google so when google index's all 557 url's in the sitemap it should automaticly submit to digg. i've also cretaed a sitemap for yahoo and msn so it's just a waiting game for the bots to come crawling and waiting for google to update it's cache. some links are already indexed e.g slim jim and celebrity insults, and they did this automaticly but skipped over most of the others, what a site map does is contain every link of the board in a .XML file, that is then uploaded to the root folder of the board, you can then point the search bot to it's location so it can use that as a guide and won't miss any links and index the board completely.

here's the sitemap sitemap.xml

as you can see most things are covered and it's all submited to google webmaster tools and yahoo and been verified and accepted soi we'll just have to wait and hope for the best :)
