Changes to our Front Page
We made quite a few minor changes to our front page today in the hopes of improving our Search Engine Optimization. This means that we are hoping the changes we have made will help our site appear on the first page of search results in Google and in Yahoo. In this way, more people (hopefully many more people!) will find our site and join our community of linguists. If you notice many more new people in the next week or so you will know why!
I will now attempt to write more or less the same thing in French. Any of you French speakers out there feel free to jump in and correct me. I should really be doing a lot more listening and reading to French before I write but I want to put something up here so here goes!
Pour les deux semaine passe, nous avons eu une specialiste a SEO qui a fait beaucoup des changements a notre site. On a fait tous les changements a fin que ameliorer notre search engine ranking. Si notre effort reussit, nous allons recevoir beaucoup plus de visiteurs a notre site. Nous esperons qu' un pourcentage de ces visiteurs doit etre les nouveaux membres de The Linguist.

I’ve noticed it before that our linguist webpage doesn’t appear in first page of Google search. Actually it appears on third or fourth page. Linguist is the site which totally dedicated for English learning but when you Google with ‘learn English’ or ‘free online English courses’ (I suppose these are two common search phrases) our site appears far away. Some sites which pretend to be good for English learning and actually don’t fulfil our expectations are at the front page.
I don’t know much about how these search engines work. When I do search for something, the sites which appear on the first page, I suppose closer for my search and usually I don’t go further on next pages. Now, as you have made some changes, I hope it will work better and more and more people find our site on front page….
You're right Shashi and we have often thought the same thing. We are hoping that the new changes we have made will help us rank much higher for the keyword "learn English". We will find out over the next few weeks.
