Hi I have be optimising my site for a while now and still have can't find it in google. I know it is there but when I put my keywords in nothing shows. I am fairly new to webdesign but I have done alot of reading and hoped that I was getting somewhere. Please take a look and any advice will be welcomed.

I tried google your web and I was able to get number of results. Concerning your keywords, you may wanna take a look on your meta tags and also try to register you site into google analytical database.

all the best.

if your site is a new one,
it wil take a while for google and the other search engines to have you in there listings,
you are there somewhere with the keywords its just you may be in the 8/9/10etc. page.
you just have to wait until your site gets out there, then it will start movin up the ranks and eventually you will start coming up,
ive had my site up for a year nearly now and its still struggling to come up against its competion
good luck anyway

Actually - you are hoping they'll use the list of keywords you entered in the meta - and it doesn't work that way. In fact, NO word should be in the keyword meta that isn't on the page.

The se's will use the words on your page and in the anchor text linking TO your page - to bring you up in their results. If they don't find them - you won't make it into those listings, even on the 500th listing page.

Natalie: WOW!! You have accomplished some major changes since the first time I saw your site. MUCH better! We can actually see what you do. I'm impressed. I just took a quick peek as I have to leave, but I'll come back later to look a little better. But just wanted you to know how much better it looks!

Natalie - looking good - just a suggestion - you might want to put your URL as your signature - it makes it easier to view your site. on your About Us page under looking for a salon the click here takes you to a page that has a map and nothing else you probably should make a few changes there - are you going to add address and phone #s for the salons listed?

Re: please view my site www.08004nails.com

you can go to UserCP on top of this page - and edit your signature (add your web address) then when you post a thread it will be there automatically notice the web addresses on the bottom of everyones posts both of my sites are there - that way i dont have to remember to add the URL (address) everytime I ask a question for help

Re: .co.nz domain name

another question, I have .com but I also have .co.nz (for geotargeting new zealand market) how do I overcome that bluevoda don't support .co.nz domains. I have a redirect with the domain but google doesn't recognise the redirect with the .co.nz domain and won't index.
