It's interesting to see how we rank on terms like "mormon missionaries" "mormon temples" "mormon beliefs" and "joseph smith" - the keyphrases that being searched each month (according to Overture and other available web stats).

Just added church in Chinese to the meta tags on www.lds.org.tw. We'll see if this improves the rankings on both Yahoo and Google. 6th site on Google Taiwan and Yahoo is so far buried I can't even find it. More news later.
