Congratulations Julie-Anne

[Elements]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to point a little something out...

When I was 1st looking for a place to discuss Interior Design and decorating I googled exactly that and a few different things came up and luckliy I searched through a bit to find this wonderful site.

Now when I type in the same heading the 1st site to come up is Julie-Annes Decorating Forum.

I am not sure what that means to the Google gods but I am very happy for you Julie-Anne that you are at the top of the search page, pipping out some of those other long running forums.;) ....so a big congratulations to you for putting such a great forum together.

Its a fantastic forum and I am glad to be a part of it.:D

[Julie-Ann]

Thank you so much Elements:) but we may not actually be number 1.
Google have this thing that if you go to a site regularly, then when you do a search for that topic your regularly visited site comes up first.
I have checked at the local shopping centre before just to check it out. But I haven't done that for ages. I will check it out this week and let you know.
But thanks so much for all the forum love:D

[Elements]

I wasn't sure how it worked exactly but either way you deserved a thread title because its such a great pace to come and chat:D;)

Let us know when you find out.

[Julie-Ann]

Thanks so much. I have noticed that the amount of visitors we have been getting from google in the last week has increased significantly. All very exciting:D.

It really is a credit to you Julie-Ann. You do a great job and are very motivated to make the forum a success.

You know I thoroughly enjoy your site and will continue to stalk you and the forum daily :)

I am also happy to help you whenever you need anything!

Thanks Katrina but we are only doing so well because of all the wonderful members we have. That's what I love about forums - you build a community of wonderful people:)

[Julie-Ann]

Well apparently Google really does love us:D.
I went to the local shopping centre and used a machine that I had never used before. If you ask for pages in Australia we are Number 1 for the categories of:
Decorating Forum
Renovating Decorating Forum
Building Decorating Forum

and we are number two in
Home Decorating Forum
Yipee:D

Thanks to all of our wonderful members. We wouldn't be getting all this Google love if I was sitting here talking to my self lol.
So tonight I think we should raise a glass to us- the members of the Decorating Forum. Thanks everyone.

Congratulations! You know I love this Forum:)

[Elements]

We wouldn't be getting all this Google love if I was sitting here talking to my self lol.

This would be a very funny forum if you were the only one asking your self questions and replying to them:D:D

YOu deserve to have a wine with your feet up and DH and Mr16 can get you what ever your heart desires......thats going a bit far isn't it....
YOu can get them to do dinner maybe;)
Either way well done on a fantastic forum.:)

[Katrina]

Thanks so much all of you. I'm afraid it's a Weight Watchers dinner for me. But I did buy a Lasagna so I could have the night off. And I have put my favourite wine in the fridge:D.

[ssmama]

Fantastic! Good to see all your hard work paying off for you - you deserve it. :)

Hope you enjoyed the lasagna and the wine tasted extra-refreshing this evening... :D

[Julie-Ann]

Cheers- here's to all of us:)

[daphadills]

YAY Julie-Ann....All your hard work is paying off:)

[Julie-Ann]

Congratulations to you too Daphne on being asked to do the family photos of a fellow photographer. That is really something:D.

[Elements]

OOh Daphadils, thats like being asked to Interior Design an Interior Designers house.......very flattering.....and a little bit nerve racking
Thats so nice to be asked and a real testiment to your wonderful skills.:)

[Julie-Ann]

That's a great way of putting it Elements- a huge honour:D

[Susie]

Oh well done Julie Anne congratulations. It's great to know that google is alive and working hard to get us good rankings.
