I am supposed to be wrapping presents, but I just found this forum, woo hoo!
Here is what I am proposing: anyone who has a forum that relates to anything with a motor: motorcycles, cars, trucks, any type of auto, boats or other pwc like jet-skis, kit cars, whatever!... if you are interested in an exchange let's share a search engine!
I have created a site called motomaniacal.com and it is basically a google engine search site. We all put a snippet of code at the bottom of our motorsport oriented websites and it creates a search box that users can use to return results for only our sites... if you want to be included in the results all you have to do is add the snippet to your forum footer (or header) and I will include your site in the search results.
example:
Site A
Site B
Site C
All three sites put the snippet in their footer. When a user performs a search from motomaniacal.com, Site A, B, or C, the results from all three sites that are most relevant to the search will be included. The rest of the internet is weeded out, and no results are returned from sites other than ours.
Again, motomaniacal is for sites that have to do with moto-enthusiast websites, so this won't be for everyone... but anyone can pretty much set up the same thing for any type of website that you wish... I will even do it for other genres if there is any interest, although I don't personally own a forum for whatever other genres...
Anyway, this has probably already been done here and I haven't seen it because I haven't read all the posts (which I will attempt to do over the next few weeks) but if anyone is interested please let me know.
