Hi all:
I hope everyone is enjoying the conference in Coventry. I am unfortunately too ill to get there so hope that there will be a full report forthcoming. I am running a web hosting and design company at school as a way to get decent experience (and Linux brain-washing) to my 6th form. It is all going quite well and we now have several clients. I am using Mambo as it is easy to use and makes for good screen shots in the portfolios. However, one of my customers has complained that their site does not appear on any search engines. I have tried several options relating to the meta tags (which I have been told are somewhat deprecated), but still no sign of the sites. My main site comes up pretty high on Google so it is a bit of an oddity. Any suggestions?
Google ranks based on page links and the importances of the linking page. Short of link-spamming wikis and blogs, the only way to rise up the Google rankings is to host interesting and highly rated content. Of course, if the company is commercial, they might want to pay for a Google ad, which would link certain search terms to their site.
