For the first time ever (for me at least), a DansDeals article appeared in my 'articles for you' feed on chrome on android. I always get stuff from other points/miles/travel sites, but never DansDeals until now, even though it's my most-read travel site. I guess something about that article caught Google's eye, although that's surprising imbmy case, because I don't follow any sports, and I'm sure Google knows that very well!

@Dan it could be worth looking into how to get stories into people's lists, as that's how I found some of the other sites that I now visit more frequently. I imagine it could drive traffic to DDMS, and I assume there's gotta be some data out there on how Google classifies websites/posts, kinda similar to search engine optimization, just to learn how Google picks these things.

Just a suggestion....
It did not come up by accident. Trust me  ;)

Cool. So then instead of taking my post as a suggestion, take it as a compliment that you've accomplished what you were trying to do :) Thanks for your hard work!

So why this article in particular?
My best guess is you guys figured you'd bait them with the headline and hook 'em with the comments.

Tried searching “6 month rule” and site said words need to be at least two characters long. Can that rule be changed?

Thanks @BAHayman for the fix.

Now we need to fix the: >Re: &quot;כאלה&quot;< type of threads, or not allow quotations to be entered.

I recommended that multiple times, but many didn't like it because it takes out the fun

Not a good idea. Many users create an account just to pm someone to purchase something in the Goods for Sale board.

If true you're right that's why I said to run a query to see whats going on, regardles of the situation I don't think it will ever be implemented.
