Ronniebootwest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Now that I have uploaded some photo's to my web site My Webpage I am keen for people to be able to find me on the internet. However, when I do a search my site is not found yet. Granot tells me that it can take a long time for the web search engines to send out their 'crawlers' that will index my meta tabs and keywords but I am impatient! I hear that there are companies that will undertake the indexing of web sites and therefore speed up the process with search engines. Does anyone have any advice on this subject please?Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronniebootwest Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Ken, I am confused now, when I try your suggestion and visit this link http://www.changedetection.com/detect.html - it tells me that the URL I enter is invalid. How can that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Cox Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 try copying/pasting this into your profilesRonhttp://www.ronniewestdigital.co.uk/it works on my entrycant some of you web page designers give Ron a hand????http://www.ronniewestdigital.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxig Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Ron,Don't waste your time because whatever you do in a conventional way you will always be somewhere on page 20 or 30 in search results if you are very very very lucky. The main reasom is that your keywords : "Photoshop tutorials video cd's videos tutorials digital image galleries training" probably appear millions of times so you may find yourself on page 100 or 500. Peaople usually check the few first pages, so being on 1-10 first pages is a very good luck with these keywords. For example, I looked for "Photoshop tutorials" using the advanced search, I found 5,140,000 results ! Searching "Slide shows" gave 8,260,000 results and "Digital images" only 11,500,000 !Searching for "ronniewestdigital" will probably give only your web site (after you will be listed) but anyone who knows already your name, probably will know your web site, and if he don't, he will not look for your name.I know some clever guys can bring you to first five result pages, but they usually don't do it for free. My suggestion is, to publish your tutorials on various related forums.Sorry I can't help, you know I'm not a webmaster.Granot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflow Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Ronnie ~ Granot ~ Ken,I just tried Kens 'pasting suggestion' concerning Ronnies Website ~ It worked immediately !Granot you are correct as usual, I rang my son Peter, who own's a professional Web Publishing Company and he tells me that there are specialist Companies who sell Libraries of 'Keyword Phases' and will guarantee a Web Page entry into the first 5 Search Pages of certain catagories for a fee.The other alternative is to 'shop around' and find Link Sponsors such as Fuji Film, Agfa, Kodak, PC Magazine and many many others who will link your Site to their 'Main Page Site' provided you allow their Link to appear on your Site. ~ It not a bad deal at all if you can get approval....Brian.Conflow.

boxig Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ron,I have another idea good for your site and other members sites. Since you are selling tutorials try to find some question keywords which people may ask and your tutorials answers. Here are some examles:how to use Layers Palette with photoshopspecial effect using Layers Palette with photoshopusing Photoshop and slideshowshow to enhanch slideshowshow to use Photoshop Actions Paletterecord actions with Photoshopsave actions with Photoshophow to make jigsaw puzzle effecthow to use Polygonal Lassoo tool with photoshopNow, when I made a search (in advanced search) for "Polygonal Lassoo" I got only 59 results, for "Photoshop Actions Palette" 189 results and for "Photoshop and slideshow" only 2 results !!!Next, write at least 100 sentences like the above taken from your tutorials and add them to all pages at the end of each page.Next, make one "Content" page with few hundreds "How to do" sentences and add this page to your site.Also you can add a "Read more" link to each CD and link to a page where you will write all things mentioned in the CD.Doing all my above suggestions will bring your pages in more search results, some of then even on first results page !Granot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
