This is all very interesting. More things I have to learn! I am in no hurry to get the type of recognition I need but I guess I should be planning now for what I will need a couple of months from now because it might take that long.

My URL has been picked up by Webcrawler.com. The funny thing is that it picked my site up before I had posted the first real site. It picked up on my place holder page which said that we are under construction now but should be up by February. Also google , When I search on "restored memories", has links to www.restoredmemories.com which has been down at least 2 months. I looked this site up when I was trying to get my URL and saw that it was taken but there was no site up at that URL.

Kevin,

FWIW, I've gotten to what I consider to be "working knowledge" of search engine optimization after a couple of (very) late nights reading the free info at Search Engine Watch and then moving on to the Search Engine Forums (that themanda pointed me to). I'm by no means an expert, but I feel like I know enough to write my webpages in a way that is at least starting off with SEO in mind. I'll probably want to tweak later, but I figured better to start off with a concerted effort to correlate my page titles, descriptions, headings and copy text.

I also found that google picked up my "under construction" page, so I assume it will be back - and when it is, I'd like to already have some keyword density built into my pages and not have another "under construction" site indexed.

I don't know that I'd necessarily recommend that everyone follow the path I have, since I still don't have more than a couple of pages for my site up yet - and you seem to be almost finished with yours!

Hi Jeanie, I still have a long way to go but I'm getting there. I need to do some of the research you have been doing about search engine optimizing.

I still haven't come up with a way of doing eCommerce yet. I've had to make a list and just go down it one item at a time. The whole project looks too large when viewed as a whole. Just got my PC back to operating at 100% today. Replacing an HD array controller with a different type of card is not for the faint at heart. Look it's 10:00pm already!

I don't have the eCommerce thing figured out yet either!

Ugh.
