April of 2004 I started doing research for my new truck purchase to be made in August of that year. When I did a search this site came up and even though I didn't officially join the site until I bought my truck, I was here almost everyday.

I don't know how much time and aggravation this site has saved me, but it's way more than enough to justify the $20 premium membership dues I paid. (Hint,Hint.)
The site just keeps getting better because the Administrator cares. As long as that remains true it will continue to draw and keep members.
It's the best Titan site I've found.

I too was researching the Titan and stumbled upon this site. I Love it!

[ekool]

Did you guys find it on Google or another search site? BTW Squid, Thanks for the kind words and the plug

[BLWedge09]

I found it on google and the rest of the story mirrors Squid's.

Come to think of it...I find everything on google.

I found the site when I initially was looking into full size trucks. I searched on google I'm sure. I don't have the money to buy a Titan right now so I'm not even an owner. I do however still read the forums for information on the truck and what persistent problems people run into. I still enjoy the site, have for months. Keep up the good work guys.

What's strange is that it now no longer shows up when I search for "Nissan Titan Forum". ClubTitan is about halfway down the page and the top one NissanTitan.info. NissanTitan.info is a joke. No effort was/is put into that site.
Google tweaks their algorithms that determine page rank on their search results all the time but I would expect TitanTalk to at least show up on the 1st or 2nd page of a search for "Nissan Titan Forum". Unfortunately, it doesn't. I went as far as page 6 with no result. It seems as though the words Titan and Talk are required for it to appear in the results. That's not good! Most people wouldn't ever include the word talk in their search. Also, if you search for "Nissan Titan Talk" it doesn't appear...at least not on the 1st or 2nd pages.

I searched with google. I entered titan lift or something like that in the search box. Then it came up with a forum with nissan 4x4. Then I continued to read that forum. And searched that site for intakes for our truck. Then somebody mention Titantalk.com. And here I am.

I have no idea why we dont show up on Google anymore, we show up on the other major search engines

If anyone knows, please let me know.

I was uneducated then and used MSN.

You're welcome, but it's true. So often Automotive Forums seem to get old and stagnate. I'm a member of 5 different forums but they can't compete with the club atmosphere here. I come here becuse this site is alive rather than just an online library of Titan data. (It does have a wealth of data)

It feels like me and my buds are hanging out in your garage just shooting the bull.
Thanks for letting us hang out.

I agree with Squid. This forum is special in that you feel like part of a group of friends here. I found it on Google when I was researching the Titan. I searched the word "Titan" and Titan Talk was one of the first sites listed. I belong to a number of forums also but this is the one I spend most of my time at. Great job Ekool! Your efforts are appreciated. Thanks for the great site!

ekool, if you really want to work on TitanTalk's google results, have a look at these.

I don't remember how I initially found Titan Talk, but once you get here, it's obvious...

Google.....searched for "right wing conspirator" and it brought me here. Since I own a Titan I stayed because they know their trucks.

I bought my truck in Feb '04, but had never considered being in any kind of stupid forum* until Aug/Sep '04 when I was searching on Yahoo! (screw google!) for performance mod comparisons for the Titan. Some posts from Titantalk came up in the first few results, and I started reading the great stuff on here. I joined just to try and keep track of all the great info I was learning.

*I never thought forums had a meaning in my life until I found TT. Now I am an active member here and over at CT. TT has changed my life, and made me a better Titan owner! Seriously, I am a real introvert. Since I became really active here, I will actually stop people and talk to them about their Titan and tell them to come visit TT. I would never have done that before.
