CHMR website

[Guest nicemac]

It is always hard (for me) to remember what the website is for CHMR (the gun range just south of Franklin, formerly known as Owl Hollow).

So I registered a name that is easy to remember. I took the info from the existing page and crafted a new site. I have a paid-for web host, so I added a new domain and $4.00 later–viola!

I have been working to try to get the site found by Google searches. I added a sitemap file, and requested for the site to be crawled. Not willing to pay for the rankings, but if anyone has any ideas how to get it to show up when people search for gun ranges in the area, please let me know.

I always just google "CHMR". It's always one of the top 5 results. It's #2 right now. It's not hard to find.

"CHMR owl hollow" makes it the #1 result on Google.

Unless I'm missing something, this looks like you made a whole new site with info and pics that were copied from the real CHMR site. It doesn't look like a simple redirect URL. Is this being done with Charlie's permission? I know I'd not be happy if someone basically copied my site and didn't bother to ask first. Not to mention that if he ever updates his (not likely, I know), yours would have out dated information.

Sure, but I want the guy who doesn't know the name to be able to find it.

search "gun ranges in middle TN"

Sure, but did you have Charlie's permission to copy his stuff? A redirect URL could get the results you're looking for on a web search without making a whole seperate site. Just something to think about.

I can't speak for Charlie, but he may or may not want his site showing up on the top of Google.

He is aware of the new site and is quite pleased with it.

That's great. I actually like your version better. It's easier to read and well organized.

Now if the 200, 300, 400 range were done!
