Debbie said "The more you write the more people are likely to find you." If only it was so easy. Unfortunately another key search factor is how long visitors stay on your page. If they arrive and you present thousands of words to read, or the page is unattractive, or the subject doesn't immediately grab their attention, they immediately leave again. All the words will be wasted and you will FALL in the rankings! All the suggestions people are making are good - but none of them will work in isolation.   Regards Nigel Osborne

I used to find it helpful to track the visitors to my blog and to see which search words they were using to find me. This exercise was quite illuminating but it's no longer so easy to do as so many people now use the personalised Google search and Google encrypt these searches: http://googleblog.blogspot.ie/2011/10/making-search-more-secure.html It's very frustrating to see that you are ranked at number 3 or number 4 for a particular keyword combination and you can no longer see what it is. You can use either Google Analytics or StatCounter to look at your visitor stats on your website or your blog: http://www.google.com/analytics/ http://statcounter.com/ I seem to get greatly inflated stats from Google Analytics. Google provide you with more detailed reports but I like the simplicity of the StatCounter interface. It's worth checking out your search engine rankings on other platforms such as Altavista, Bing, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc as each one returns different results. You also get different results depending on which version of Google you are using (Google.com, Google.co.uk. Google.au, etc). There's a list of country codes for Google search engines here: http://www.genealogyintime.com/GenealogyResources/Articles/genealogy_guide_t o_google_country_search_engines_page3.html If the link breaks here is a short URL: http://tinyurl.com/lryz55n One thing that does seem to help to increase your chances of showing up in search engine results is to ensure that you have a lot of content on your profile page. I've just looked at John's profile page for the Commins surname and there are currently only a few lines of text. The algorithms take into account all sorts of factors but it seems that they do look for multiple occurrences of a key word on the page. The more you write the more people are likely to find you.

Banns were called for Florence SERCOMBE and Rowland William NIELD at Compton Gifford, Devon, on 31 Dec 1899 and the two following Sundays. The couple were not actually married, however, until 11 May 1903 at Coppenhall, Cheshire. One possible explanation for the 2 1/2 year delay is that Rowland was a soldier. I believe I've read that a soldier required permission from his commanding officer to get married. Is that true? And if so, will there be a record anywhere of the permission being denied?

Thanks, Chris. An unusual occupation but it does fit with her late husband having been parish clerk.

Hi Debbie That could explain things. I do have a Google account, though I seldom log in these days. You are correct, I searched under Sillifant family history, rather than just Sillifant, to get the Sillifant Guild profile as result no 6. This morning I popped into my local library to use one of their computers where, as far as I know, Google cannot possibly know who I am, and a search on Sillifant gave me the Guild profile at no 3, which is the same as I get at home. A search on Sillifant family history in the library gave me the Guild profile as result no 7, rather than no 6 which I get at home. I also searched under Willing family history in the library and was very pleased to see my Guild profile right at the top. I get the same at home, but I was concerned that this was because Google knew my interests. It looks like it does not make a significant difference in this type of search. My DNA project appears as result no 4 in the library and at home, below Ancestry and the House of Names. I then logged on to Google but could not see any difference when hiding or showing private results for these searches, though it did make a difference for other searches. My conclusion is that it may not be correct to say that a certain site is in a certain position in the Google results, as it depends who is searching, but for some searches it may well make little or no difference. So long as you make the front page of results you are probably OK. I think I have had a few more contacts recently than normal, though I do not usually ask how people find me. But this might be nothing more than coincidence, as the numbers are still quite low.

I think that Google orders your results based on what it knows about you, in the same way that you get personalised advertising on many websites, but I stand to be corrected on that. I have just done a Google search for Sillifant family history and the Sillifant Guild profile is result no 6. Of course, I do not know if you used the same search terms. >

Thank you for drawing attention to this, I've found several entries relating to my ONS. I already knew of an ancestor, Caroline WITHERS (not my ONS name) who was in and out of an asylum for the second half of her life (c. 50 years). Someone else investigated her and send me lots of info., and from that I would say it is worth looking for other records. My ancestor died in the Hampshire Asylum, and I think all the info I was sent was from records in the Hampshire County Record Office. The info included details of reasons for admission, family details (children named etc.), showed why released (e.g. the family requested it a few times, though it didn't take them long to find they couldn't cope and she had to be re-admitted). Of course these records can be quite painful reading, Caroline's had me both laughing and crying. I don't know if most of these records survive, but certainly worth looking for. One of the Goathams I've just learnt of dying in the Kent Asylum is one of the few I haven't been able to attach to my tree of Kent Goathams, so I'm hoping records regarding him will clarify where he fits in. I believe there can be an issue seeing them though - they aren't generally released for 100 years after a volume ends, and some cover quite a few years, so even if you're investigating someone in the asylum more than 100 years ago you may not be able to see records regarding them. Incidentally, I found Caroline by chance - when she wasn't with her family in one census and with a married name with lots of variants that can take a bit of working through, I just entered Christian name, birthplace and dob - and she was just listed as Caroline B, they were protecting patients privacy. I did it by chance, but clearly it can be worth leaving off surnames if looking for asylum patients in the censuses.

I think its quite a good idea to try searching for your own study every now and then using google. I must admit I didn't have a lot of luck just putting in either of the names Sennett or Sinnott on their own: For "Sennett" - a surname database site turns up on page 8, Sennett ONS doesn't appear until page 10. First search pages dominated by Richard Sennett (sociologist), and Mack Sennett (silent movie fame). "Sinnott" - surname database site on page 4 - no other specific genealogy site refs in 10 pages of search results. Searching "Sennett genealogy" gives better results:on the first page, my DNA project is 3rd, and my wordpress blog is the 4th entry, with a rootschat post from me at 5th (that mentions the ONS). My one name study appears on page 4. I guess that confirmed my feeling that the wordpress blog was an easier contact point for people right now. I wonder how much that has to do with the ability to tag and add categories to each post? Gives me more incentive to keep on posting to the blog. Corinne Curtis #5579

Can't believe how many I've found! But what I want to know is what the headings in the Discharge column mean Recovered is obvious Is Reld relieved. What does it mean? And Impd. Is this improved so that they are well enough to be discharged? Out of 17 names, 7 of them died in the asylum. In most cases I didn't have an exact date of death so this has been useful. The difficulty is identifying the women who recovered! Regards Denise
