Thread: Meta Tag & Keyword Help

I put several keywords in as meta tags, as well as a page description for most of my pages. I have found two problems, first and foremost I get no results when searching for my domain name, and no results for my site when searching for the keywords. The second problem is that the tutoirial showed there being a keyword generator, which I can not find in my version of Blue Voda, which just has me wondering if the tutorial was for an older version.

You will find it here,
tools > keyword digger

How long has your website be up? You say you get no results when searching for your domain name, but how long has it been, it isn't instant. It can take many weeks if not months or sometimes it can take just days, you just never know!

Also did you submit your website to the major search engines?

1)Has your website been submitted to the search engines?
2)Please make sure you are using the latest version of BlueVoda

OK, that answers that. The tutorial lead me to believe the Keyword digger was a link right on the box for adding keywords and meta tags. I didn't even look under tools, my bad.

The site has been up for less than a week, so if this normally take a while, OK, I wasn't sure aboput how fast these things happen.

I did not submit the site to the search engines. How is this done? I definately want to do this.

If you open a support ticket to Vh you get one free submition, can take upto 60 days for your site to show

Hi,

I have posted the keyword digger for about a week and I also do not see the result. Now I understand have to wait.

How do I check if my website is submitted to the major search engine? I have forgotten. I hosted with vodahost.

put in your exact url in the search box with any search engine - and if they have you listed, they have found you.

Do NOT expect to be found by your keywords quickly - and do NOT use keywords in the meta that are not on the page - the se's will be picking up the words on the page.

Do we need to put meta key words in each page?

Yes - titles, descriptions and keywords that are specific to each page should be done.

Hi,

I have published more than 2 weeks ago with VH. However when I check with yahoo search with my URL, it is not listed yet.

How can I confirm that it had being submitted to the main search engine. If not, how do I submit it again?

Thanks in advance
Alex

www.tdisdiseasia.com found in Google and Yahoo.
If you are looking for it to come up in the first 10 searches, that is going to take a long time. tehre are over 6 million sites listed in Google for Scuba Asia and more than 12 million for dive Asia.

By the way, try to correct the Active X control. It can turn users away.

Also - after you've been found, there is no need to ever submit again - in fact, the se's don't like that. Now, as Bill stated, it can take a LONG time to have them find you by the keywords you want to be found by - AND you need to make sure that you've used those keywords on your pages and in anchor text linking back to you, if you want the se's to like you.

Hi,
I tried searching for tdisdiseasia and www.tdisdiseasia.com in both yahoo and google and no joy. what is wrong?

Also what do you mean by the active x control? I did not use it. Can give more clue?

cheers

This is what appears in Google:
"If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: www.tdisdiseasia.com"

Add yourself in MSN. They provide an option.

I'm not showing that Google has found you yet. I did not check yahoo. However, they will find you as time passes. Or, if you haven't done one submit yet, you might want to.

The active x control is popping up here also - I suggest you find out what's causing it. Do you have something with sound - or a movie? I got a black box on the page when I didn't activate active x or update something else - so that might be doing it.
