Let me start with I have never read anything on "how to" do anything in frontpage, I am more a trial and error type of person. (Yep disastor ahead) I have just finished my site, still needs a few tweaks but for the most part it's done. I love my site however I can not get it to pull up at all in the search engines. I think I named the pages well but again what do I know. I have tried to add doctype and it doesn't seem to want to "take" it shows up on the website and doesn't do anything. I've tried to add metatags and again the same problem shows up. I've made an effort to resolve the issues looking in the archives but couldn't get it to work. I'm sure it was operator error. I have learned the error of my ways and will be ordering "Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to HTML, CSS, Graphics, and Beyond " later today but any help in the mean time would be greatly appreciated. http://www.sosranch.net Marlee Nolz

I initially thought you meant you couldn't get the site to load, then I read your post again. Search Engines. You mean you can't find it in Google? You won't. The site needs a lot of work on search terms and even then Google won't touch you for at the absolute least, one month. Then it might not show up for months after that and even then, could be down on page 200. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Backlinks, search terms, site submission, backlinks.... You could start by putting in two meta tags you're missing, Description and keywords. Then you can go to Google webmaster tools, sign up and set yourself up an xml sitemap which will get Google to take some notice. A lot of the results will depend on good content, backlinks and the length of time your site is in existence. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Boy really wish I would have done this sooner as the website has been up for over two years. (I just redid the "look" in the last couple months.) Guess I'll settle in for lot of intense reading. Any good books to curl up with? (in reply to jaybee)

This is a huge subject so you might be just as well Googling for SEO or search engine optimisation. The problem with books is they don't get updayed and the Engines change what they do and how on a regular basis. I'll see if I can find a decent web tutorial. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to nmarlee)

Some people out there have some very odd ideas that might get you blacklisted. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?
