Thread: Bouncing around MSN

Greetings,

A quick search of "Naples Florida Real Estate" on MSN has me sometimes on the 3rd page of results, sometimes on the 4th. I bounce around about 8 positions a day it seems. Any idea why that is? Also, why am I listed in MSN under those keywords but I can't get listed in google for the same? I have a lot of inbound links from forums/blog comments but nothing seems to work for google. Any ideas?

Thank you for the constructive feedback. Could anybody else elaborate on what the immature young lady posted?

Thanks in advance!

You had mentioned not including enough meta tags. I'm assuming you're talking about the meta robots tag. I have a robots.txt file to fulfill that need. All SEO posts I've seen explain that the only tag important for yahoo, msn and google is the meta description tag. From what I understand, search engines do not look at the keywords tag any longer. Is this true?

Thanks for getting back on track. Here in the forums, we have all levels of individuals learning and helping.

This is a professional forum and although things can get heated at times, Let's make sure to keep them professional. Thanks for the support.

The marines are a bunch of over-sensitive high and tight jarhead wussies, anyway. And being former military has nothing to do with our success and/or failure on the web.

Anyway, Chris is a Realtor who comes on line to get some advice and ask questions and he is told his source code sucks and his webmaster skills are no good (did he claim to have webmaster skills?). If Chris became a little sarcastic in his second post, it seems perfectly reasonable to me. I'm sure he was hoping for something constructive that might HELP him improve -- not someone to JUST tell me that things were wrong.

Anyway -- that wasn't help. That was just criticism.

On the other hand, I can see what the Master Sergeant had in mind - though I don't understand why they got sidetracked into robots.txt issues. You can ask for help and if you ask specifically enough, experienced people will probably be helpful -- but they aren't going to help you start over and build a page from scratch. Hopefully (if you have specific questions - not real general questions) they'll say something that will point you in the right direction.

Have a nice day.

Go Army.
