jwk811 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i submitted my site to google but when i type in the keywords to it, it doesnt come up.. maybe far in the other pages but i know its in there because when i type in the address it shows up.. i was wondering.. i saw on other sites how they had keywords in the meta tags.. is that what helps find the site on google? or what?

The Little Guy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Go to Google, and in the search bar type this:[b]site:http://mysite.com[/b]Include the word "site" and the Colon make it look exactly like the bold. This will show all the sites they have indexed for your site.change mysite to you site's name Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34629-google-search-keywords/#findComment-163171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwk811 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 yeah my site comes up like that but what about the people that are searching for sites in that category?

Jessica Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It's probably just lower in the ranking. What is the site and what are the keywords you want?

The Little Guy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, if you got something from that search, then that means your site is listed. google donesn't really index off of meta tags, they do it based on content of the site, so search for some text within your content.you also may want to add a robots.txt file in your root directory if you don't already have one.

trochia Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Read up on SEO or just tell everyone you know to go to google, find your site...click on it...and eventually before you die...you'll be on top maybe... Google has paid placement...and by the time you spend do get it to the top, you could take a part a part time job at McDonalds...work once a month....to pay the bill to goole.Jim Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34629-google-search-keywords/#findComment-163184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 have you heard of PageRank? google uses this to help determine how close to the beginning of the list you will be when searched.check this out: http://www.google.com/technology/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34629-google-search-keywords/#findComment-163188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwk811 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 i found the problem guys.. when the site got submitted to google my site had a under construction page for the index and since it wasnt the actual site it didnt get any keywords from that.. i have it changed to the real site but they only check for words being used in the page every so often so it should be okay soon.. thanks for all your help!
