Another thing that might help is if the OSM maps (www.osm.org / informationfreeway / other?) show the name of large places in the visinity in the title bar of the browser. This should be possible throughdynamic queries in the dynamic html generator (AJAX/php/other). This would make hits on OSM links rank higher in the search engines as it would be both a link pointing to Rome, and Rome in the title of the page it leads to. A metadata field in the html header can even improve this more. -- Brgds Aun Johnsen via Webmail
