About Caffeine and TennisConnect
Google has changed their rules and is flexing their muscle - this time in a good way.  Sites / pages with simple / clean designs and high relevancy are being rewarded, while eye candy and "written for SEO" pages are being penalized.

This is good news for TennisConnect customers, as we have always emphasized clarity and substance over eye candy and entertainment.

TennisConnect has completed the programming required to help you maximize your SERP (Search Engine Results Placement).  We have updated our system generated meta-tags and index/follow structure to allow you to take full advantage of the new rules for placement, but there are a few things you may need to do.

What you need to do
We're taking care of the technical stuff, but you can help yourself in one are in particular: Google Caffeine is penalizing slow loading pages caused by large (thick) images.  You should optimize your images now, or hire an authorized service provider to optimize them for you.
