To find answers to comments or questions you have to go to the comment area under the comment or question.  The question will not be answered in the main body of the home page.

What does this mean?  Basically, Google has decided that this site is important enough to use its PageRank algorithm on.  The scale is from 0-10, based on how “important” Google thinks it is.  The scale is relative, so just because two sites have the same PageRank, does not mean that they are equally important.

What it means to us is that when people search Google for terms like “Six Mile Lake” we come up closer to the top of the list.  Which brings more awareness to the site, the lake, and the lake association.

Before this site got underway, if you searched for “Six Mile Lake” you would most definitely get our Ontario counterpart near the top.  Today, we are number 3, with number 2 being fishweb.com with the Upper Chain page!  The Six Mile Lake association for Ontario site is number 6.  They have a higher PageRank (they are PR2 while we’re only a PR1) but I assume we are considered more relevant for the term “Six Mile Lake” because we’re a .org and they’re a .net .

The more active this site is, the better off this association and the lake will be (from an awareness standpoint).  It was always difficult to find information on our lake through the internet.  We were always buried on some other page.  Now we’re near the top!  Get involved and post some comments!

Hi Everyone:

There has been some interest by members to be notified as to when new posts or comments are added to this website.  That feature is built-into the site by using RSS.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is technology you can use to have information sent to you, rather than having to go look for it. This website offers RSS as a way to have headlines delivered to you.  To learn more about RSS, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/rss/default.mspx .

We have two RSS feeds available to you.  One is for the Posts themselves – like what your reading now.  The other is for Comments to the Posts.  That would be like someone replying to this post and saying “great information – thanks!  ; -) 

You can go to the bottom of this page and click on RSS for the Posts and Comment RSS for the Comments.  You can also click what’s underlined right here. 

Subscribe To Our RSS Feeds! RSS and Comment RSS.

I would recommend subscribing to both.  If there are any questions, please let me know.

Thanks…Derrick.
