Google searches• #: The ranking of the search query.

• %: The percentage of the top 100 queries represented by each query. For

example, if the top 100 queries represent 1,000 user searches, and those users

searched for cheeseburger recipe 270 times, that query would represent 27%

of the total number of searches for the top 100 queries.

• Query: The search terms used.

• Position: The highest position any page from your site ranked for that query,

averaged over the last week. Since our index is dynamic, this may not be the

same as the current position of your site for this query.

Lesson learned

CMS like Drupal o9er sophisticated modules to

setup a community portal2

To promote best practice+ tools built on widely

used systems (e2g2 Drupal+ moodle* are more

likely to be adopted sooner2

Peer reviewing and rating of resources does not

work+ just as metadata entering does not2 There is

no reward in doing it2

Bridges to other communities take time to build2
