The post that was quoted here has been removedWe are at a point now where is it near impossible to compete with chess dot com regarding any search engine results. Google favours them so massively for nearly every search, I suspect traditional searching will become of little value soon to RHP. Also, moves to AI as alternative to Google has diminished searching even further. Interesting times ahead regarding this and getting exposure.
No one searches "Daily Chess" when looking for correspondence chess platforms, unfortunately, because as you say, that is the where RHP/DC wins out.
@Russ saidRHP is how I found out about this site from some recommendations on the web many years ago.

For correspondence-style chess tournaments, I think RHP is still the best site available, because of its overall design, and especially how quickly tournaments can get filled and started and finished-- in my view that's a big advantage over Chess dot com and Gameknot -- most of whose tournaments take so long to begin or finish that one might die before they do either of those! 😉 Kingscrusher's site is nice and the people are polite, but on any given day I don't they have as many corr-style tournaments going on.
