Hi Plateman,

With regards to your metas, it really doesn't matter that much in google. It's the text in your page that really counts... Unfortunately you joined the biz about 5 years too late to rely on metas

I've gotta say, I had a look at your code and didn't even recognise half of it... I have no idea why you're using xml, and it seems that that page is a combination of office and frontpage code which is truely scary... AND whatever webbot is, it doesn't seem too SE friendly to me.

I suggest you head over to http://www.w3schools.com/html/ and read up on some decent html coding, because that'll help you heaps with the search engines.

Unfortunately the search engine game is pretty complex and learning it is often a case of making sites and seeing what works and what doesn't...

BTW, just a heads up, the font "helterskelter" isn't on my PC and I'm 99.9% sure it won't be on most peoples pc's so what we're seeing isn't what you think we're seeing.

Good Luck!

Matt

Hiya Plateman,

Google is still in the midst of shuffling, right now, you'll see sites listing up in the top 10 that were never there before, then when the dust settles, some of them will go back into the deeper depths of the directory.

This happens every month lately, Google seems to be constantly trying out different algorythems in between their usual one, so that's why you see a lot of different results throughout the month.

The way I know this is because I have benchmark sites that always list at least on the first page .. I watch them constantly and this gives me a good look at what google is doing at a particular moment. Right now, those benchmark sites are not even in the first 10 pages.. I'll re-post when I see them there again.. it shouldn't be long now
