There's often a problem with search engines that they won't pick up sites which are hosted on general servers like this. Or put another way, they only pick up the dot coms. I can recall a while ago trying to get an MG site picked up but couldn't because it was hosted on Tripod. Now I'm not saying you can't, and I'm not saying they won't, but if they don't this could be the reason. Keep trying anyway, and I for one hope you succeed. --Previous Message-- : G'day : I've been looking into this 'search engine' : stuff over the last few days. I've put up : the link (can't remember where it was - may : have been at AltaVista). Just this morning : I submitted the site to Google (might be a : case of the-more-the-better). : : I also entered some meta tags in the site's : actual code - hope this all works out. : : Another thing, if more people put in links : to this site on their own (or any other) web : sites/pages the search engines would stand : more chance of picking it up. : Still working on it. : : : : --Previous Message-- : G`day All : Thanks to Brads infomation. : For good or bad I have taken it upon myself : to add this sites URL to Google. : Google gives no guarantees that the site : will be picked up but it is submitted. : If it is picked up and there is any great : concern by any of you it can be removed by a : similar method. : If it happens and this is all that was : needed. : Why is it that all the people that are : fluent in computer use haven`t done : something, as I often state I know very : little of computers? : Cheers : ps, see you're still hard at it Zorba, : Cheers :
