Hi Loretta, Maybe try having a look at the following, Google make a number of suggestions on how to achieve what you describe: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/topic.py?topic=8524 <http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/topic.py?topic=8524> Basically: Submit your site URL or site map directly to Google, increase the number of other sites who provide links to yours (inlinks), use more relevant keywords etc. Or maybe AdWords would do the trick, read more at: http://www.google.com/ads/ This involves spending a bit of money to have your link displayed before the search results in what is termed the "sponsored links" section. You don't get charged unless someone clicks the link, so it's possible to control costs somewhat. You can specify the keywords you wish your site to be associated with e.g. b&b Ireland, Irish b&b, b&bs in Dublin etc. Hope this helps, Ciaran -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Loretta Conaty Sent: 27 January 2009 10:59 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] First page results from a Google search Hi All, I would appreciate if somebody could give me some tips as to how I could get a web site I designed some time ago for my sister in law to come up in the first page of results when a visitor googles for it. I had inserted "keywords" and a "description" but I don't think this is enough to do the job. I used html with an editer. It is a small site just for Bed and Breakfast with about 4 or 5 pages and a booking form.
