Stephen Thanks for your comment. Don't think this was the issue as, server location is in UK and I was selecting google UK to search. Since last post and after about a year the site has suddenly appeared at position 12 page two. Have been making regular minor changes to index page and increased inbound links to just over 100, otherwise no changes. Will be interesting to see if it rises as link numbers grow. Anybody got comments about what else I should be doing.

Have been working hard to improve site position on search engins and am now starting to get good resulsts for one of my websites Brittany Gites by Jewells Have submitted sitemap to Google, Yahoo, MSN and URL tomany Dir's and engins and am working on links. Site is over a year old. URL is showing no 1 on most searches. "Brittany gites" search returns from 1 to 7 on Yahoo UK, MSN, MSN UK, Alexa, All the web, AltaVista, AOL,Ask, HotBot Google.com is 18 and there is no show in first 10 pages on Google UK worldwide search. Any thoughts on how to cahnge this on improving Google position.

Have been browsing through all the sites that say they can help with one way backlink building. Has anyone got feedback about any good options, or which to avoid.

Hi markthedoc I have some holiday cottages of my own and my view is its better to use an availability request form so you get all the enquiries and email addresses, rather than potential clients checking out of date availability calendar and not enquiring. It may cause a few more replies but it gives a much better database !

Hi All I'm new hear so haven't had much time to look around so forgive me if this is elsewhere but I use the following to centre with some success. <style type="text/css"> <!-- #page { position:absolute; left:50%; top:20px; width:400px; height:100px; margin-left: -200px; } --> </style> <div id="page"></div> You can of course use any width height and margin combination.
