There is a whole cottage industry to "get you to be the first in a search engine"... It is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or Search Engine Marketing (SEM).\n\n- Do not under any circumstances hire a company that guarantees the first position.  Such claims are certainly will get you banned from the largest and most important search engines.\n\n- PPC or pay per click programs may drive traffic to your site, but will not "raise" your site within search engine listing.\n\n- Surprisingly studies have shown that the first position is often ignored!  If you get on the top of the first page, "above the fold"( you show up without having to scroll down), you are gold!\n\nSearch engine positioning depends very much on the search engine, and what type of algorythm they use to rank web sites.\n\nThe primary factors in most engines are content and authority.  Content refers to articles and documents which are unique and specially related to the key phrase or word to which you want your site to be on top.  Authority refers to how well your site is linked - that is how many good sites within the same topic, link to you.\n\nYou might want to revisit "why" you want to be high on that search engine list...  To drive traffic? If that is the case, then concentrate on the root, which is getting more traffic to your site and not solely on position in a search engine.  Advertising in that case makes more sense.\n\nThe de facto authority on this information is WebmasterWorld.

Hi, most noteworthy, you need backlinks pointing to your domain.. \n\nOf equal importance, you need to add your description and keyword meta tags(to every page), or it will not get indexed properly on any search engine.

give it 2 weeks max, make sure you have a lot of keywords for the site. google should find it within that time, usualy when a site is born and living its life, the more sits that link to it, the more of a chance it will show up on the top of a list in a search

Google automatically spiders the web for sites, so you don't have to bother with that one, though it may take a week or two.  Maybe even a month depending on how fast Google finds it.  There are scads of search engines that do it that way.\n\nYou'll need to submit your site to Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

You need to add some search engine optimzation in your site. In your meta tag you need to add keywords with your name (Keith Carberry, Keith, Carberrry, real estate, house, sold)\n\nYou also need to change the name of your index page from 'Welcome' to something with your name in it. (Welcome to Carberry sold my house. Keith Carberry)\n\nAlso, you only have your name listed in text once on the page. This is the most important object that search engines look for. Somehow put your name on the index page at least three times. Putting bio info on the first page is a good way.\n\nEventually the search engines will crawl and should move you back up.

Check your address is correct\n\nIs the first file on your website index.html if not rename. Usually it is required.\n\nWhat browser and version are you using. The older ones conflicted. Some still do. e.g. Netscape did not like capitals of file names but Explorer was okay. \n\nRefresh or reload your browser it could be a simple as that.\n\n\nThere are lots a little reasons why it might not show. You'll have to keep tweaking.

The reason is quite simple.  It is because you do not have any sites linking to you. Just obtain a few inbound links and the search engine spiders will follow them to your site and index it. A good way to get the first few inbound links is from directories http://www.seo-blog.com/directory-links.php

The first page is always named "index" so you have to make an html 'form'. Forms section of my favorite coding tutorial...\nhttp://www.echoecho.com/htmlforms.htm\nThen you have to do CGI script on the server-side...your hosting provider might be able to help you out with that part.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer check to see if the following is set starting at the top menu bar:\nTools > Internet Options...\n\nOn the General tab, make sure you have a History set for more than 0 days (default is about 20).\n\nThe other thing to consider is to use Yahoo My Web to save web pages that you want to get back to.  It can even keep track of all your searches (this is off by default).  This will make it easier to get back to your favorite places and share them with friends.\n\nhttp://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/\nhttp://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myweb/tools

wow...believe me is not easy and it all depends on your budget.\nThe first listing on all the major search engines are usually sponsor ads or CPC (colst per click) and they can get very expensive.\nAnother way to get you web site withing the first page on search engines is to have good keywords placed on your page. Not just in your meta tags but in other area also!\nI use a program called web position gold and it help alot during the creation of my site..which isnow listed Number 5 under yahoo for specific key words.
