fini Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Well of course she's having a hard time! Are you the "link master"? (that's a wise-*** way of saying it's not a link, Jim... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS65711 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I found that both Yahoo and Excite pick up your site on a search. Google does not. I don't know what it takes to get Google to index your site, short of paying money. OTOH, most people seem to search with Google. I also noticed that every page in your site that I went to increments your "hit" counter, every time I went to it. So even though I only visited your site once, I incremented your counter about 6 times. Maybe if she listed some audio products . . .

damonrpayne Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Using meta keywords is a way to NOT get your site on google. Google picks up on body content very well, make sure what you think would be search words people would use to find your product are in the text on your default page. Paying google for ads is another way. Another way is joining a link exchange of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 If it's not making any money then it's not a buisness but a hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 build your pages using keyword effectiveness indexes, ask your web master, he should be able to estimate the number of hits, if not page views... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hardy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 "If it's not making any money then it's not a buisness but a hobby." I've worked for a couple of companies who weren't making any money... those jobs weren't hobbies! :-) EDIT: Jim, re: "Glendas Collectables Odds N Enz store.com" Could it be that part of the recognition problem is that she spelled "Collectibles" wrong?

Jim Cornell Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 LOL I didnt realize it wasnt a link oopps. Anyway I bought her a new computer sold my cornwalls for the web site, and due to no day care or family here to help, this website has to do something. If I post audio itll have to be used gear LOL.

archangele Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I don't know what it takes to get Google to index your site, short of paying money. You hit the nail right on the head. Google only promotes a site if you pay a per search hit charge. It is not at all uncommon for Google to charge a business as much as $100,000 a year for 'hit's'. You could try the news groups and try posting a link to your site there. Look for ones dealing with the types of things her business does. ( example: if you sell tubes, rec.audio.tubes... etc) It used to be that if you included a lot of certain key words in your page title in the HTML code, search engines would pick up on it. I think this is still true. But Google is all about the money. You have to pay them or you get lost in the shuffle unless your site is totally uniqe without much competition in it's area. Bill B.

Marvel Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 But a well written site can be found with a Google search. I do my church's website (and others), and I know we don't pay Google. The ads on the right side after you do a search are a whole other matter. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
