	:The problem is that Wikia is a gets a ''lot'' of traffic, and a lot of people link to Wikia, so Google assumes that it is one of the best sites for everything and ranks it highly. Here in Australia, even searching for "Grand Theft Wiki" [http://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&cp=14&gs_id=3b&xhr=t&q=grand+theft+wiki&pq=grand+theft+wiki&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=grand+theft+wi&aq=0&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=4c26890357e371b1&biw=1024&bih=499 shows Wikia's site as the top result]. The best thing that we can do to improve our ranking is to get a lot of people to link to GTW, such as in their signature on ~~form~~ sites, on any social media sites, etc. '''EDIT:''' Reading your question again, you're asking how it affects us rather than ''why'' it's like that. It just means that a lot of people still go to the Wikia site, because they don't even know that we exist. Even returning users don't realise that we moved, because the new staff of that wiki covered it up. That's why it's important to spread the word about GTW, by linking to us wherever you can (not spam though, legitimate links, such as forum signatures) and telling your friends about us!
