The other thing here is we won't be high there with wtactics.org being just an iframe.
We use a very tweakable WordPress plugin that deals with SEO: If you want to have a look at it I could bump up your access so that you can actually configure it differently and go in depth with it. I'm not very well versed in the art of SEO.
What I do know however is that we should probably go for broad (and relevant) search terms/keywords that get as many hits as possible (are used as much as possible) at google's search engine. There is a google page that allows you to check how many searches that are done on a specific word, but I don't remember the URL for it.
It did however show that when it comes to a card game "mtg" etc are good words, but, there is a steep competition for being among the top results when using them. So, some kind of balance needs to be found.
I don't believe that "wesnoth cardgame" would generate any traffic at all. Number of people that would even get the idea to search for it would maybe be 1 to 10 a month, which is nothing compared to other words.
As for the iframe I'm not sure how much it actually affects our ranking on google search engine. When looking for WTactics we still rank #1, despite us using iframe. Is there any official guiedelines on this subject?
While there are like four of us - could we chime into an IRC channel from time to time, and have like a monthly or weekly meetings, or irregular, just to discuss some things? (I'm pointing at #wt on freenode, which seems to be free ATM, but its just a proposal).
No problem for me: Any and everyone is welcome into a discussion on IRC and/or also skype or equivalent tool (that also runs on linux). Just pick a date and time in GMT and we can agree on something.
