I have a client (taylor-madeinteriors dot com dot au) that wants to see their site come up (in Australia only) when someone does a search for things like:

fitout
commercial interiors
rework
etc.

How can I best make this happen??

Thanks

Use those keywords in the text of the site.

Chris,
Thanks for that. I thought there was somewhere in the html that I could put these words. Do you know where I can put them in the html (that doesn't mess up the page)??

Thx
OG

There are mainly 3 places to put key wording "in the html".

Page title
Meta description
Meta keywords

More importantly your copy text should be relevant and include the key words and phrases that you want search engines to find.

Getting listed in any search is not guaranteed although the major ones usually find you, so long as there is at least one site linking to you. Your best bet is to visit each search engine and manually add your url so they can send their robots out to index your site.

Thanks for that. I am a newbie here and with HTML. Where exactly do I put the key words???

Here is the html (partially) for the page in question

OG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
<head><META name="verify-v1" content="Zzbx3lBu5yIp4SgZWpgW+oSUgX2re1+WGfzrL7F6+LQ=" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>TAYLORMADE COMMERCIAL INTERIORS</title>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head><META name="verify-v1" content="Zzbx3lBu5yIp4SgZWpgW+oSUgX2re1+WGfzrL7F6+LQ=" />

The easiest is to look at the page source of any (proper) site. For example, this one has

<meta name="keywords" content="Getting my clients site to come up on Google, web hosting forum,webhosting,hosts,bandwidth,servers,cobalt raq,nt hosting,unix hosting,host reviews,dedicated servers,colocation,host search, community" / >
<meta name="description" content="Getting my clients site to come up on Google Web Design and Content" />

You already have a <title> and of course, the body content of your site needs to have your key words

Stupid question, but I am a newbie.

If I sent you the page, could you show me EXACTLY where I need to put the keywords (and how to do it)???

If you agree, send me your email address.

Thx

You put them between the <head> tags

<head>
<title>TAYLORMADE COMMERCIAL INTERIORS</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="insert your keywords here" / >
<meta name="description" content="insert your description here" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

Search "free site optimization" on google.

To get good results in google, its helpful to have your link on some high ranking sites. You can do this through affiliate, link exchanges etc.

Oh...and submit the site to http://dmoz.org/ .
