 I googled "free sims downloads" and got the following:
 #6 TSR
 #8 TSR
 #11 Sims Connection
 #14 Buntah
 #15 Exnem
 #17 Buntah
 #23 TSR
 #28 Simslice
 #31 TSR
 #32 TSR
 #34 Sims Connection
 
 Free sites in the first 40 listed? Oh yeah, there were a couple: Parsimonious, Around the Sims, Objects for Sims 2, XM Sims, Those Krazy Sims, Pimp My Sims, Spirited Sims. That was it.
 
 :evil:

 That's because Peggy has "Free sims downloads" in her title line.  :roll: |

 Maybe Peggy etc. meant "free" as in "free-for-all" as in "windfall of ca$h"? |

 Now we know why there are a lot of people over at TSR.
 Man, how I hate that place.  My computer hates it.  FireFox even hates it.  And IE.....well, it kills that one.

 Thanks for proving my point about SEO.  Just think if we get all the really free sites out there spiffed up how much traffic we could turn away from the paysites!!! |

 Around the Sim?  How are they free if they have "donation" sets?
 
 /end thread jacking.
 
 On topic though...they have to find a way to reel in the morons.

 Are ATS and XM Sims supposed to be free site now?  :wink: 
 Btw, I guess Google basically list sites using their meta tags. The sites listed above probably have the word "free" in their metatags - and they're also widely visited sites too, and this contributes to put them at the very beginning of the list.
 
 
 oops, NaughtyDiamond, I didn't saw your one  :lol: .

 I don't know about now but it used to be that Exenem(?) would post links to her foods on MTS2 saying things like, "Inviting my friends here to download!" Not verbatim but you get the idea. So, you head over there to download and get slapped with the message that you aren't a paying member so you can't have it.
 That really ticked me off.

 Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs... |  |  |

 Btw, I guess Google basically list sites using their meta tags. No google largely ignores keywords. Sites are ranked by how many pages link to them. Thats probably how tsr got to the top |
