Hi, I am new to webmaster talk. I have just made a website www djbuilders webeden co uk this is my first website so I didnt really know where to start. Anyway the website is done (except for the about us page which i need to do and need to add some more photos). I have submitted it to lots of different search engines. It comes up on the first page on the search engine jayde which I have never heard of before now. I have submitted it to google. Though cannot find it at all when I type in any of my key words. Can anybody help with this? Remember ive never made websites and im not that great with computers so any help would be appreciated.
thanks

do a site:abc dot com - see if it is indexed. If it is, and you are typing in certain niches and your site isn't there - it might be to competitive. You may want to go to a four or five word phrase niche where it may be less competitive.

what is niche? sorry, i am quite new to all this. is it the site name?

Niche means site related with your theme.

What you really need to do is build quality one way backlinks for your site.

Honestly you'll have to start learning SEO from scratch. For one, you are trying to rank a purely Flash site which is a big mistake. You need content that the search engine can read and index. If you are going to offer web design services this is something that your clients would need. Also you need to learn how to do keyword research. Play around with the Google AdWords keyword tool and see if there are some good mid-low volume keywords that you could target. For web design it is often a good idea to target the local market. So a keyword like <city name> web design would probably be good.

Well, you have done the major two things, creating your site and submitting it to search engines. Now do all your regular SEO practice and wait for Search Engines to index your site. SEO work is not a overnight work. It needs time and specially for new sites.

Learning SEO from scratch might take time and implementing those techniques will even take time, thus it is recommended to outsource your project to expert.

But if you are tight on budget then you need to consider every step which is required for website to prosper in ranking in SE's.

Read some books on SEO, visit forums and blogs daily to get updated with this industry.

I'm pretty much fed up with this (above) post all over the forum
Mods?

dont read it then!

Now I wouldn't be able to read it even if I wanted to - it's been deleted. Btw, just to clarify things, I didn't mean your post, djbuilders.

Hi,

Only quality link building can promote your site online and if you want to do link building work by this way (Spamming forums or other sites) then i am sure you can not promote your site for lifetime because admin or moderates will remove your link from your post like here.

Thanks

You should read alot, and learn how to perform onsite optimisation for you website.
Once you are done with optimizing it, you shall work on getting backlinks to improve the authority of your website.

It depend what your website is about, its also about back links relevant links

i agree with this opinion"It needs time and specially for new sites."

Its a site/blog relevant as yours.. Its like your competitors' site..

Obviously a forum is a great place to get back links, but I have had much success writing free press release's and getting those ranked. From there this brings more popularity to my main website!

Give stress to off page of the site. Get links , submit your site in different directories ,do link exchange. Once your site starts ranking then do on page step by step.

thankyou everyone for you help. I wasnt using the forum as a backlink thingy, I have put lots of time and effort submitting to different directories, search engines, advertising etc. I'll get there in the end!

so u mean how to get indexed bu G ?
sitemap and backlinks are the first two things u have to deal with
