When I look up on Google, 'Grand Theft Auto Wiki' , I get GTAWikia first, are we going to fix it?

:That is because they get way more visitors/traffic than us. There are three reasons for that: | |||
:*When we used to be at that website, we promoted it for years, but when we moved, they kept the old URL and all the links/popularity associated with that | |||
:*Because they are part of the wikia site/domain, they get promoted across all the other Wikia sites | |||
:*Because they are part of the wikia.com domain, the popularity of other wikia sites automatically gets added to theirs, making it show up MUCH higher in search results | |||
:The only way to fix this would be to make sure we got MANY more websites to link to GTW - so we ask all users to put links to GTW in their forum signatures, on their websites, on their facebook/twitter/youtube and wherever they can to spread the word about GTW. The only other thing we could do is to start paying to advertise GTW. Unfortunately, unlike Wikia, we don't have the budget for that.
