This morning it was on the top of the 3rd page! I know this because I don't have the web address "saved", rather I do a Google search each time to get on FFF. If a few hundred folks a day Googled FFF a few times a day to log on, then the rankings would have to rise. I cannot believe the sites listed in front of FFF would get anywhere near the daily traffic we have, so maybe something else is afoot.

All the search engines I use (cuil, ask, dogpile, yahoo)except google, had fireflyfans.net on the first page, usually near the top.
I'd put a link on my home page but since it's only had 2800 hits in nine years, mostly from me, it probably wouldn't help.

You need to create incoming links to FFF closely associated with the word firefly. Serenity, fff, joss and whedon would be good seconds. Those links are best put on permanent sites with traffic of their own, if people belong to webrings, and want to link back in, encourage other fans to.
Posting a link to fff next to the word firefly as a post signature on multiple sites will have some effect as well, probably a temporary one, but still, maybe worth it.
The problem is not long term, it's really and march-april 2009 problem, it started really in late march, the plummet. FFF fell off in 2009 overall, but lightly. It lost a PR point earlier in the year. Since it held its own 6 years after the show, I don't think it's connected to cancellation.
Haken, traffic is golden, and your best source of SU traffic is FFF, I wouldn't let it go once I had it, unless you know some web voodoo the rest of us don't.
I know this is what matters:
The number of incoming links
the ranking of the sites those links are on
the traffic those pages get
the number of click throughs those links receive
the overall traffic of FFF itself
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
Shiny universe is PR4, so Haken knows some voodoo, but it comes up on no dollhouse searches.
FFF has slipped to PR5, so it still outranks SU, while way outstripping it in traffic. Currently it's 18th on a search for "firefly"
btw, searching for fireflyfans probably doesn't help. searching for firefly, and then clicking on this link helps, because it gets registering in the pigeon peck. This is one of the systems that google uses to determine is results list. Another one is that "slip me a fiver." Okay I made that up, but I don't have a better explanation for amazon's page on an item to keep coming up on the top of google searches. I suspect if people want to go to an amazon item page on amazon.com they go to that site.

Perhaps I was not clear.
My suggestions:
If you want fireflyfans.net to show up highly ranked on a list of search results for firefly, then type in firefly on a search engine, then go find a result which is a link to fff.net, and click on it.
If you want fff.net to rank higher on a result list of a search fro whedon, then type in whedon for the search, and find a link for fff.net and select it.
Do these once per day.
If this isn't what my previous post sounded like, it is what I meant.

New of the Verse is no more. There were various reasons for its demise. But, the most significant was the fact that there wasn't (and still isn't) enough news in the verse to continue.
Aside: The domain has been picked up by a squatter. I really wish that there were laws to prevent such BS.

Content is king. Site moved up probably because of the April Fools joke and the couple of articles on Dollhouse over the weekend, both of which probably generated inbound links that moved FFF.NET up in the rankings.
