Hi Ciaran, That's great, just what I wanted. I know I looked at the add words some time ago but it was only the free one I used - I am sure the pay one will give me a better result. I will have a good look at both links you have suggested and thanks a million for all.

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.
