Title: OK webpage guys..
Post by: hblair on February 07, 2003, 08:54:11 AM

A few months ago you guys helped me with my body shop webpage. I tried registering it on yahoo and google, etc. but it still doesn't show when I do a search. Is there an easier way to register the page?

Thanks..

most search engines dont actually need to have the site registered.

Also google tends to rank its results based on links, so newer sites tend to show up badly in the results.

You might want to stick something like this in the code at the top of your index page:

 

Place some keywords in that describe what your site is about. Like for instance for a bodyshop you might want to stick in stuff like "body,shop,bodyshop,auto,bondo,abalama,redneck", etc.

You can also use this tag:



This will set what the search engine shows as the description of your website.

maybe also reg half a dozen other similar domains and put pages on em that link to yours with  the same keywords.

Don't neglect content too, but avoid the size=1 invisible text trick , most spiders see through that.

What Raubvogel said.

And if anyone you know has a website, get them to link to yours and vice versa, then submit their sites too.

If he uses "body" as a keyword his site will get lost in the depths of three million porn sites.

do a search on "Keywords"

they are the "key" to high ranking :)

Best to have key words spread out throughout the body of the page , couple on top, few in middle and last text in body. Not to much or you are penalized for "spamming"

just a few keywords, I'd have your location (city and st) as you are mainly a local outfit along with top words you & your industry use to describe your work.

keywords are mostly worthless now.

All of the GOOD search engines take them as a hint, but don't give them much credibility.

Best way to advertise a website is to put something that everyone has to see on it and start telling people about it.  It gets a lot of links to the site up.

Take the group of people who would be using said website.  Find something they'd think was really cool/unique/unusual, and put it up there, and start spreading it  through word of mouth.

advertise.

if you build it, they won't always come....if it's a website.

print some banners, stickers, tshirts, mailers, handouts, magnets, newspaper ads, etc etc....

also, look for automotive portal sites that you can list your name on.

oh, and what those other tards said above is true too. ;)

[edit] check these guys out, you'll have to search for what you want, but there is TONs of info for ya on web stuff.

then there is always the $$$$$$$$$ factor...

many sites now require you to pay if you want to be in the top , first page of hits, before all the other non payers...

Thanks for the info guys. I forgot about this thread. :D
I actually thought I had done the META tag thingy when I made the page. That's what the problem was.
