I just did a search for "basketball fantasy game simulation" on both Google and Yahoo and BB did not pop up until the top of the 4th page in both cases. I think there are lots of people looking to play this type of game and frankly I believe BB is the best as I have tried a few in the past.

BB needs to get on the first page of both search engines if it wants to grow.

You should email Larry Page or Marissa Mayer then, there is nothing BB can do:)

Your idea is great, but I think BBs have bigger problems now than creating keywords or something BB should use to increase its search engine ranking. Well, if you write in Google "basketball manager" it is still in first page, not that bad.

And honestly, this is far from beeing a "Basketball Game". This is a WiSim with basketball theme.

Still, the key is to get visibility any way you can. Maybe it isn't a true "basketball game" but that doesn't mean that if someone sees it on the front page of a search they won't check it out and maybe give it a try. Lots of other inferior games come out ahead of BB on the simulation search. I'd guess that half of all potential players search "simulation" instead of "manager". That a lot of people to give up to competing sites.

Actually my message was directed to the originator of the thread, not to you. I´m not surprised that his search only listed Buzzerbeater on the 4th page.

Whatever. Well, BuzzerBeater is a basketball manager game, so it could be counted as a game.

talking about reading now: i did not question the *game* part, but the *Basketball* part. plenty people signing up leave within days because buzzerbeater is as much a Basketball game as a Text adventure can be considered a jump and run game. i doubt that a higher listing for the search the original poster did would help alot as it would lead to wrong expectations about what buzzerbeater is and what it isn't.

buzzerbeater is a managing game with no real sports action gameplay. so looking for Basketball manager - like you did - should provide results, as it did. searching for Basketball online and getting here might not help alot.

i don't really see your anger, i'm basically supporting your point.

Everyone stop your arguing. I think we can all agree that Buzzerbeater is not a game nor a manager, but it is in fact a lifestyle. It does not matter what people search, because you can't simply choose the Buzzerbeater life. The Buzzerbeater life must choose you :)
