When I first started playing with flash and looking for tutes, about 1.5-2 years ago, I searched Google as you would. But I never ever came across Kirupa, everything always led to FlashKit. I thought for a long time that Flashkit was the greatest Flash site there was, and I gave up on looking for other resources. It was only after some time when Flashkit just didn’t cut it, that I went searching and stumbled across Kirupa. Now Flashkit has become nothing more than a faint memory, and I have never looked back. I would have to say that out of all the forums I visit, that this has to be the most helpful and have the best moderators of all the sites. I therefore find it a shame that Kirupa doesn’t come up in the first page of Google for any search. (Flash) 1st-2nd Macromedia. 3rd Flashkit. Gave up on looking for Kirupa on page 4. (flash tutorials) 1st Flashkit. Kirupa Middle-bottom of page 2. I am disgusted that Flashkit is number one, as it pains me to think of people visiting that site looking for help when they should be here ! Now I have read ON HERE on how to increase you rank in Google, although I would have to refresh myself. I would like to see what we all can do to get Kirupa to number 1 on the Google rank where I believe it belongs. After all, if the US politicians can play that game, I am sure we can. ---

Yeah but there is a lot to be said for quality not quantity. ---

Hey bam! While typing “flash tutorials” won’t get this site on the top of the lists, actually typing specific tutorial topics such as “XML Menu in Flash”, etc. will get the site listed in the Top 5 results. For all the generic keywords, other sites have a slight lead. When it comes down to specific tutorial topics, if this site has it, it’s usually listed towards towards the top on the 1st page. As more people simply click on the [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) link from your scenario, the sooner it will climb in the ranking in google’s mind. Cheers! Kirupa :gm: ---

And if you have Kirupa set as your homepage then you actually make it a ‘referral’ site when you go from here to another site. The search engine can see how often the page is visited and puts it higher on the search engine… So make [KIRUPA.COM](http://KIRUPA.COM) your homepage. ~ Seretha :love: ---

Just thought I’d say that I too think that kirupa should be on the first page of google for flash tutorials. I used to think flashkit was the best but it’s such a pain in the arse when you’re looking for a tutorial and all you get is garbage. Kirupa I hope you and the mod’s keep going the way you are. Never sacrifice quality for quantity. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/kirupa-com-google-rank/42212.md?page=2)
