Why is my site not showing up in Search Engines
>if its a new site then it takes a lil time for SEs to index your website by using a ping service sucha s pingomatic then it will happen faster. you can check if your site is indexed by searching for your site:domain in google to see which page are showing up. If you mean ranking for specific keywords then you need to do more SEO on your site!

My site shows up in search results, but not for the keywords I want.
>this could be 2 things, 1:you have build links for the keywords but they are the wrong keywords, 2: your onpage SEO is poorly optimized and using the wrong keywords therefore SEs have misread it and placed it with differnet results. if they are related to your niche then its fine! - just start targeting the ones you want.

Keyword Research and Seo
>funadamental to any SEO is keyword research, targeting multiple keywords is how you are going to see more increase in traffic. you can use many tools such as market samurai or googlekeywordtool to find keywords match them with number of unique searches and then check competition before chosing which ones you will want to try to rank for.

What is search friendly design
>there has been new information from google about how design is now important for ranking and being search friendly, standard practice of being WC3 compliant code, not having crawl errors, and including a xml sitemap is still there, now there is new parts where you need to have unique content, optimized pages for SEO, and also clear navigation easy to find. Finally not having too many ads placed in and around your content, you want more content than ads its just for a better viewing experience. Also using dynamic content suchas videos, galleries etc are good and best to keep your content varied ie. articles, picures, videos mixed

Do search engines still use meta tags?
>the answer is yes they do, however they hold very little pull in terms of ranking. You should always make sure you have the approprite keyword meta tags even if this doesnt effect much >> the most importnat is the title and description which all search engines still use very very much!

How to place in top 10 of search results
>1st you need to check your competition in those results see where they get their links and what words they are optimizing for, then you can go about your own link building campaign to increase your own rank. the art of doing this will take time, patience, and also a good choice in the right keywords so that you are not going after the 'roman empire' but rather a local corner shop to start with
