blam, no offense, but your keywords are weird. They're supposed to be themes of the article, not bits of the headline.

Maybe "Nauru", "Australia", "Sagar", "Immigration". Something like that. Keywords are what some people use to find articles related to a particular issue. Nobody is going to search for this article using "8M" as a keyword.

Well, This is my record:

You've posted a total of 7,565 threads and 48,128 replies.

I have had a total of six people complain. The last was an admin moderator last night.

Thank you. You're the only one who has explained what I should be doing. I always thought it had to be the words in the title so that a search would turn-up this article and not have duplicate posts. And, I have always thought that the more words from the title would ensure better success.

Now I understand, it should be words that represent the article and not just the title.

Now, maybe people will stop bitchin' at me Dammit! (I'm laughing at myself)

Thanks again.
