Comic Vine reviews and Google - Gen. Discussion

#1 Posted by TimmyGrunt (13 posts) - 6 months, 7 days ago - Show Bio

I enjoy checking reviews of the books I read and simply google the title and issue number I'm interested ie "Earth 2 #6 review". Comic Vine virtually never appears in the first few pages of results and I'm wondering why this is. It would seem to me that it harms the site through potential lost traffic. IGN are almost always first in the google results, btw.

Curious.

I added the word "comic" to the search and CV came up on the second page, other such searches and CV comes up on the first page. Still, I'm sure the other sites pay to have their site come up first.

Thanks for the reply. Seems odd that "Weekly Comic Book Review", which I enjoy reading, always returns a review well ahead of CV. I'm doubtful whether that site has more resource than CV. It just seems odd.

Cheers,
