I guess it depends what search terms you enter
for instance "pub reviews uk" has PuG at 3, which is not bad IMO
And some pubs do have links to the toothy site, which will increase the Google rating [I think, more related links, higher the rating]
"St Austell pubs" search has a couple of toothy or Pug on front page, but down the listing
I think it is all down the magic of SEO, Google etc and even Tesco struggle
If there was a silver bullet then the gun would have to have a lot of barrels

I think having key search terms in the url helps a lot, as I discovered with my Aber pubs site. PuG uses a unique id number for each pub whereas the Other Site uses the original pub name within the url.
However, a unique number makes the site admin a lot more flexible and is better practice - like when a pub changes name
Plus, the Other site has a longer historical legacy - it was the 'first' major pub site outside of London area and gets a lot of hits simply because clambered to the top of the search engines years ago and people tend to click on the first link or two that comes up. If you want an address or a gmap reference like a lot of people, then I guess they don't need to search further down the list to PuG...yet!

I'm sure we've broached the subject before and Conrad has explained about how the Google profile of the site can be raised by getting links to PG from other sites etc. It is perhaps an opportune moment to announce that the number of Facebook 'Likes' of the Pubs Galore Facebook page is now exactly 3500 !
Waes hael!
