I love entering a question in google and having PF pop up on the first page. Like I did earlier with a "what are the waste products of fusion" and getting the link to: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=121166&page=2

I think there needs to be more links to PF from other sites

It's pretty neat that PF gets on the first page, but if you do a Google search for "physics" (at least the last time I did) PF is only on page 3! This needs to be fixed.
The best way to get accurate physics forum answers from a Google search is to use specific keywords related to your question. For example, if you are looking for information on Newton's laws of motion, you can search for "Newton's laws of motion forum" or "physics forum Newton's laws." This will help filter out irrelevant results and provide you with more targeted answers.
While physics forums can be a great resource for information, it is important to critically evaluate the information you find. Check the credentials of the person providing the answer and look for sources to support their claims. It is also helpful to compare information from multiple sources to get a well-rounded understanding of the topic.
When searching for physics forum answers through Google, it is important to pay attention to the date of the post. Most forums will display the date the post was made, so make sure to look for the most recent responses. You can also check for updates or revisions in the comments section of the post.
It depends on the nature of your question. If you have a specific and unique question, it may be better to ask on a physics forum where you can get personalized responses. However, if you have a general question, searching for existing answers through Google may be more efficient as it can provide you with a wider range of perspectives and information.
To increase your chances of finding the right physics forum answer through Google search, try to be as specific as possible with your search terms. Also, make use of Google's advanced search options, such as filtering results by date or domain. Additionally, consider using quotation marks around your keywords to search for exact phrases. This can help narrow down your results and provide more relevant answers.
