Google search...new subscribers

Ok....lets say someone is looking for  that  which  HTC offers.

To most people....google is their friend.

Am I missing something? Aces high hasn't come up in anything that I've thought to throw into the search box.

Open a beer and discuss

sorry if I've posted to the wrong forum.

That doesn't help if you dont know the name of the game.

Type in WWII flight game and you get this

https://www.google.com/search?q=WWII+flight+game&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

I dont see Aces High on that

What did you search for? I did "WWII flight game" and it didn't show on Bing either.

Also, bear in mind that the browsing history may return false positives. If you're an active AH board reader and frequently visit the AcesHigh home page, and haven't disabled the spying features of Windows 10 and/or Bing and/or your browser, you will be seeing things you seem to like.

I guess in addition to everything else Hitech has to do search engine optimization. I remember the good old days when there was just the real yellow pages.

I'm all for a Dewey Decimal System for the internet frankly. If you don't want to be pigeon hold than you can do SEO and depend on Goog, but otherwise it seems a lot fairer. (I guess there would be lots of bots cheating though with false entries.)

I'm sure it would help if you knew how to use a search engine.

But what fugitive said......If you don't know the name of the game.

Consider  someone looking to play a game like aces high doing a search.

why would  "aces high" be something he throws in the search bar? It sounds like a card game.   Or....a hit song by Iron maiden

If your searching for a WWII flight game but dont know any of the titles available, you may never see Aces High.
