    Google's method of indexing is by the number of links it discovers, not traffic, which is quite well-known and is the reason people spam blogs, in order to generate links for their site to boost their rankings on Google.

    So, the way to sort out the issue of QtCentre's Google position is to encourage those who linked to the old forum to move their links here, and those people running Qt-related websites who don't link to here (or to QtF) to link here. I did on A Qt Blog the day I heard that the people who started it had moved here. This is now the only genuine Qt programmers' community website that I know of, so in time its rating will rise accordingly. It now appears on page 3 of any search for "qt" on Google.

    True, I stand corrected, thanks for pointing this out.
