Brothers,<\/p>\n
I appreciate your consistent quality of answers to questions.<\/p>\n
Saturday, I searched Google for “Is Teknon in Titus 1:6 singular or plural?” The top result<\/strong> was La Vista Church of Christ. My brothers with simple, easy-to-understand answers at the top of Google’s list. It brings me joy (and a bit of envy — my website has not ranked too highly, yet<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n\t I never directly targeted a high listing on various search engines. My focus is to provide sound answers to biblical questions and material that can be used by brethren around the world. Thus, one target has been to make the material easy to locate. That has a side-effect of making it easier for the material to be indexed by the various search engines. The website has also been around for a long while (since 2003) and people have linked to the material in various ways. This also increases the value of the material in the search engines’ algorithm (links mean people have found the material useful). Another target that I have is to attempt to add material to the site daily. Search engines value “fresh” material and active sites over dated material or inactive sites.<\/p>\n It is nice to be noticed, but I’m more tickled that people find the efforts useful in their own Bible studies.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Brothers, I appreciate your consistent quality of answers to questions.
