National Autistic versus Autism Society

longman

I'm sure I've raised this before, but cannot find where. When I search NAS on google I come up with lots more links to the National Autism Society. Has anyone else noticed this?

This is Mencap at (mencap org autism*)  They have a page on autism with a few links, but nothing remotely comparable with NAS.

But consider this, if unchallenged Mencap could go around with collection boxes labelled National Autism Society and many people might think they were giving to NAS.

Has anyone tried using this service?

Is it fair to use a confusing organisatiion title like this - trades descriptions act and all that?

*on Random's advice I've deleted the link less it improve its rating

  • Hi longman

    Out of curiosity I just searched google for "NAS" and "National Autism Society" and in first 4 pages, most of the non advertised links are for this web site or another "valid" autism site

    There was a advertised link for the autism site you mentioned, at bottom of first page. It seems the owner of the domain is paying google for the advertised link, so google gives them a much higher rating to include in first few pages.

    I am a web developer, there are ways you can improve your rating in google. I never really mastered it, but a couple of people I have worked with were able to get the rating right at the first link on the first page without advertising.

    I know part of that process is to get the link you want to push up the rankings, on another site well known by google.

    I would suggest removing the link from your original post, as unintentionally this could push up the rating for the mencap site.

    To confuse matters further, looks like www.mencap.org.uk is a valid site.
