RFM has dropped from high on 1st page to low on 2nd page on Ask.com

RFM is at or near the top in Google searches for 'mormon', 'mormons' or 'mormonism'.

But when doing an ask.com search for 'mormon' RFM has plummeted, in only a couple of day's time. We need to bring it back onto the first page. It seems like they are deliberately stacking the deck against RFM. Let's combine our efforts for a while and see what happens.

I'd love to... but I don't know how.

Could you give instructions. I'm a dumb dumb in the technology arena.

Well, maybe there is a corporate tie? I thought that the church got caught buying sponsored links on google before, to try and bump exmormon literature out of the top spots. I don't know if you can move it back on ask.com. The reason you can manipulate google results is because of the way that their searching software works, it has been designed to create that effect specifically. I don't know if ask does that. They don't get a lot of traffic anyway though, do they?

It's not as used as Google, but IS one of the more commonly used search engines. (n/t)

Any documentation or proof about the church getting caught trying to manipulate the search engine results? (n/t)

First page, 3rd of the non paid advertisers sites for me

Wonder if its location dependent? I'm in So Cal.

I use Swagbucks to search for "mormon" and then click their link every time I want to come here, thinking that will keep this site on the first page of results.

I have no idea if that's how it works, but I do it just in case.

Do a search for 'mormon'; then find RFM and click on it. (n/t)
