I was just wondering why The Cover Project does not have it's covers appear in web searches. Was there a reason to have it blocked or was it just something over looked.

We refuse to pay for the search engine dudes that promise to pump us up in the listings ;)

And I think less spammers know about us the better.
Real user stumble here eventually anyway.

I typed nes covers in to Google long time ago, and this site was on the 3rd or 4th page, and joined immedeadly.
I typed it again now and our site comes up as 3rd choice on the first.

Which is good on one hand but also bad on the other hand.

I actually can't even remember how I got here. Was at a time when the oldies still were active. ;)
2 + 3 = 23

I did similar, except I searched for Wii Sports cover. Every result was a website linking here. In fact, searching now gives the Wii Sports covers as the second option, with the first being the same Kotaku article I first found that lead me here.

So SEO man (doctor whose name can remember) we don't need more visibility.
We don't buy pump up services. Least that kind of...  ;)
