I like the site renovations. I still think a link needs to be added at the excellent "Resources" webpage to my brother Ben's outstanding GABC Propers tool: http://gabc.romanliturgy.org/propers.html.
This tool makes it a snap to create psalm tone Propers for the EF. Beginner and intermediate scholas from around the world could greatly benefit from this.
Neat!
Typing "church music" in Google gives "musicasacra.com" in the first page, 6th position.
It is indeed a sweet bit of coding by Ben! But rather than link the various Gregorio tools directly, I've posted a link under the "Technology" category to the new "gregoriochant.org" site, which serves as a central information source for Gregorio resources.
Hm: not high enough! 🙂
How does one help to make it higher?
Well, getting more prominence for your site in search engine results ("search engine optimization") is part of the webmaster's job; there's a lot of how-to material about that on the net.
I've improved the page titles and uploaded a sitemap to Google, and we now have the 3rd and 4th spots in the search result for "church music" (omitting the paid ads above us). Let's see if it continues to improve.
UPDATE: I spoke too soon! It's showing me the CMAA link higher when I'm logged in to Google, but when I'm not logged in, the Sacred Music journal comes in at #9, and the CMAA main site not at all on the first two pages! How tricky thou art, Google!
