So my little brother shows me an article that he got from his teacher this past week. They are doing a section on different parts of the world. At this time it was on Italy. As i read through this specific article on italian food and pizza, i noticed it sounded familiar. I get to the bottom and notice the source; www.lifeinitaly.com! Way to go Paolo we're becoming famous!

It's amazing isn't it?!

When people do a random search for anything LifeinItaly.com could come up. It's all over the web.
For example the thread below has 18,369 views. Obviously that's
not all from LifeinItaly.com members.

Angels & Demons - A deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by the Illuminati! ( 1 2)

Another example. Let's say somebody types in Swear words or profanity in Italian because they
want to know what their landlord is saying to them. Well up pops:
Fun with Italian swear words - Profanity!!! ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

Then at the end of the month Paolo sends me a check.

I know its all over the web villa. I just thought it was funny that my teacher handed that to my brother. what are the odds

Thanks Joe and Villa

Thanks for all the help. Anyway I am a little worried now - After the website redesign the page views of the main site went down to 1/3 of the original site ! ( Mainly due to Google respydering the site ) I hope things will pick up again soon .....

Paolo have you thought about making the main page a little more colorful. Ex: Blue headers. If people come to our pages and see a black or gray header, it may turn them away from further exploring the website.

That's surprising and amazing Joe

Paolo, I agree with Joe, a different colour would be better.
Not only esthetically (esteticamente, non lo so dire in inglese), but also for the eyes, black on white is not a great combination imho.
About the visits I'm sure as soon as Google will re-indicize it good they'll come back to normal, there's no reason for them to lower so drastically.

Paolo, I agree with Zidanie and Joe regarding the appearance of the opening page. It is a little too stark I think. Our old page was easier on the eyes. Just my opinion.

I'm not sure if this has anythibng to do with the reduction in the number of views, but I know that ever since the new website came into effect, my school has blocked it from being viewed! I was so mad. I know that's one reason that I personally have not been able to go on as often as I once did.

Thats interesting, i wonder why that would be. It's not like the content has changed.. Very odd

The reason that they gave for blocking the site was "Tourism" but now I can access it again! WEIRD!!!
