My local The Sun (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/66222/) at Rhewl has just reopened after 14 months.
After I had "reopened" it on PuG, I did an unusual thing (for me). I also added a "open again" review on BITE (only my 3rd ever!). A couple of days later I was speaking to two guys (separately) who had both travelled to the pub after seeing it open on BITE.
I was pleased for them that they had found it and the pub got their custom, but sad that, once again, Google had directed them via BITE and not PuG.

When will the cream rise to the surface? :confused:

But all was not lost. I have spoken to the guys and pointed them in the right direction with PuG cards. ;)

This has popped up on threads before. I'm sure someone more tech savvy will correct me, if needs be, but I believe it's something to do with the search algorithms used by Google and the fact that PuG uses numbers in the pub listings?

That's my take. Dave disagrees with it a bit but I base my opinions on what happened to my Aberpubs site and also seeing what happens elsewhere.
