I was browsing for ideas on how to increase the chances of our site appearing in google searches and came across this page http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Description which lead me to change the site description that is contained here - http://to-hollywood-and-beyond.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Description. The default description was very generic and not useful to us.

It used to read - "To Hollywood and Beyond Wiki is a community site that anyone can contribute to. Discover, share and add your knowledge!".

I've changed it to "To Hollywood & Beyond – An expansive film & TV wiki. Create and edit pages for your fave movies & television shows. Or talk about them in our forums."

I tried to maximise keyword relevance in the description. The 150 character limit makes this a little tricky but I think I came up with something suitable.

Another useful page is this one about raising your wikia's Google ranking. http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Raising_your_wikia%27s_Google_ranking One simple thing we can start to do (if you're agreeable) is to submit links to IMDB. So for example we could submit a link to our Game of Thrones page to the list of external links for Miscellaneous Sites for IMDB's Game of Thrones Page. The only thing I'm not sure about is how we go about tracking which pages we've already submitted a link to IMDB for.

I hope this all makes sense and fingers crossed that it might start to help raise our profile in google searches.
