BS4 on Tour... Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 It’s because they’ve got the BCFC dot com website address and we’ve got the BCFC dot co dot uk one - it probably annoys Brechin City fans too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEO (search engine optimisation), number of clicks vs your spend sees your position move. If we reach the promised land, those positions would likely change.

Never to the dark side Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 A big thank you to Scott Davidson for getting .co.uk because its British .com is Americle Maybe change your settings to British,rather than Americle. I understand where you are coming from Still wanna know why Bromley has the BR post code, when Bristol should have had the BR postcode and not the BS postcode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’sSmiittthhh Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 As above, it’s down to SEO. I believe I read a while ago, that City owned both BCFC dot com, and co.uk. They agreed to sell the .com domain to Birmingham. (Don’t know if that’s true) I would imagine, Birmingham batter their SEO with BCFC, and we don’t. Our keyword would be Bristol City, theirs will be BCFC. We probably don’t even mention BCFC on the back end of the website. So google wouldn’t pick it up when they crawl the site.

Brummies have little to do all day but breed so they end up with more people who can spend their time surfing the web after their fix of a Jeremy Kyle. Us City fans have jobs to go to. Or it might be another reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The code for Brizzle used to be 0272. When I moved to Portugal in 2005, the area code of our house phone was 272. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
