Hello,

I created a site several months back using FP 2003 for a local chapter of dental professionals.

If I search google or any other search engine, they do not seem to be picking up the site.  Below are the tags I'm using

CODE

<html>
 
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<title>Greater Sudbury Dental Hygienists' Society</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="GSDHS, Greater Sudbury Dental Hygiene Society, Dental, Hygiene, Dental Hygiene, Greater Sudbury, Boreal, College Boreal, Sudbury, ODHA, CDHA">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="GSDHSStyleSheet.css">
<style>
<!--
.GSDHSStyle  {  }

</style>
<!--mstheme--><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="_themes/rmnsque/rmns1011.css"><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="rmnsque 1011, default">

My question is:  Have I overlooked something or added items incorrectly making them not visible to search engines?

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving wasn't meant for you!

RE: Webpage not seen by search engines

Meta tags have very little impact on the searches any more. There are  a few factors that are important, but the very big one is: Words on the page...

Have the desired search terms actually on the page. Best is to have them plain, bold, and as <H1> or other heading level... you get the idea.

You want a page that has lots of text talking on and on about Sudbury dental hygeine and sudbury and dental and... you get the idea.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response Lillabeth.  I'll be sure to make adjustments based on your suggestions.
