Well the more we post the more frequent the traffic
Yes that is true. And you might find it interesting to see how your postings in the past have attracted other people who are looking for that same (or related) information. I find this particularly interesting when people are searching for obscure tid bits, such as chu lai vietnam or 1990 s and the 1920 s differences .
As far as search engines, do they only 'hit' the words in the topics, or in the message body as well?
They hit all the words in a post, not just the subject lines. You can see this, for example, by going to this posting by Donnie back in March ( ).Now if you go to Google and type in this sentence from Donnie's post:
The churches who are gaining adherents are the universalist nondenominational sects who market themselves to a younger generation
...you'll see that Donnie's post is the first in the Search Engine Result Pages (or SERPS for us geeks). Not all posts are indexed in Google, but generally the older and more popular threads (such as those with links from outside sources) will be placed higher in the Search Engines.
