Used to search for something and more often than not there would be a PFRA (Coffin Corner) article about it and it would be the first or one of the first results on any search engine. After we moved sites those all became broken links, I believe. And I notice now when I randomly search for something I never really see anything PFRA/CC come up. Then I come directly here and find it.
I just did a google search on "Rupert Patrick PFRA Super Bowl"; first time I ever google-searched myself. The first item that came up in the search results was the PFRA Coffin Corner 2000's archives, because I wrote a CC article in the 2000's. The second item that came up was the PFRA Coffin Corner 2010's archives, because I wrote a CC article in the 2010's. The third item that came up was the website of that nitwit (can I use that term without being flagged?) who had that conspiracy theory that every single Super Bowl was fixed (he was soon banned), and he created a website where he copied and pasted all of our posts from the PFRA forum onto his website. The PFRA 1966 Packers book shows up, John Turney's site turns up, another site that was somehow linked to PFRA, and then nothing. You would think any of the posts I have made about the Super Bowl over the past couple years would be there, but they're not. And the same could be said about all of the other people who post here.
The best thing we could possibly do to advertise the PFRA is to have the forum discussions show up in google results. If somebody is searching for information on, say, the 1956 Chicago Bears, in google, that recent thread we had about in the forum on the 1956 Bears-Lions game should definitely come up, there was a lot of great information in there. A person who sees that link and is directed to PFRA and reads thru the discussion and starts going thru what we have here, in my opinion, would likely join PFRA when they see the depth of information that is available just in the discussions in the forum, and also what is hidden behind the curtain, so to speak, in Members Only.
