Thumbs up Lifeinitaly.com in Schools!

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!

Default LifeinItaly.com is all over the web

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)
by Villa 18,369 views

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)
by Villa
18,227 views

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

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

Default Ok this is weird

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