Ok cool im all signed up if there are any projects you want me to do I'll
get right on them.  Are you the admin for the site?  If theres someone else
I should ask the folowing questions to please let me know and I'll edit this
letter and resend it to them.  I have a few questions about the site.  First
how long have you been listed in google under this current address?  Second
do you have and plans to rebuild the site from scratch instead of using
tiki?  The key to getting a community is to get alot of traffic and the best
way to do that is from google.  In case you dont know about how google
determines your ranking, it does it by running the amount of links comming
into your site through an algorithm. Right now you have 2,600 links to the
site.  That is an INSANE amount.
other sites that freenetproject.com would likely compete for keywords with
are
Kazaa (3290 links)
WinMX(1940 links)
Zeropaid(1685 links)

As you can see we are right up there with the major file sharing networks in
links.  But we suck with google.  I checked to see what google had in its
index and it only had spidered 3 pages.  With a little bit of search engine
optimization we have a real possibility of getting in the top 10 for really
competitive searches like
"file sharing" and "peer to peer"
And we would probably be able to hit #1 for more specific searches like
"anonymous peer to peer" and "private file sharing"

Also does sourceforge host this website for free?  Why did you switch from
your previous host?  If you need a temporary mirror for your site my website
is only using 1 of its 37 gigs of bandwidth every month and I would be
willing to host you.
