I just joined TribalPages within the past month and have noted an issue I am unable to resolve. Having set the privacy setting to allowing my site to be searched on Google, etc. I find such a search produces no results unless I include Tribal in the search. Using very unusual family names where there might be only two examples on-line, mine do not come up as a result, with or without quotation marks. I see others have had this same issue over past years and I do not see a resolution to their queries. For example "Anna Frida Ducksch" who is deceased does not come up in a search even when I include Tribalpages in the search. When I do that, the Tribalpages URL appears with her name crossed out. Clearly something is amiss here. What is the solution? Thanks,

I'd like to know that too. Why doesn't a tribalpages link to my site come up when I type a name into Goodge. The link to my geni.com site often shows up and geneanet and others come up all of the time

Not sure how it works but mine show up and it seems to be something to do with popularity and number of people who search and if primarily from info within the home page. I also have found other tribal pages websites with coinciding genealogies without the word tribal and I get people who send me messages. If you search for a particular person however you are less likely for a tribal pages site to come up.
