Default Basic Websites

Hi all
I am a newbie here so dont know if this is in the right place.... I hope so!

I am a young business women who has a very very limited budget. I got a website on Getting British Business Online which gives a free site for british small business's.

I am struggling on how I can get it into the top page on google on certain search terms. Is this search engine optimisation?

Sorry if I sound a bit dumb but websites are not my expertise!

Carla

No apologies needed, as a starter for 10, have a look through the SEO 101 thread, and see if any of it makes sense.

http://www.mylocalforums.com/seo-web...n-newbies.html

Then feel free to come back with any questions.

Unfortunately this is the problem with cheap sites, you get what you pay for, and do not have the power or editing ability needed to compete.

They could have 25,000 sign ups in the next 6 months but only a few success stories, much safer to bite the bullet and get a real website, and if you cant afford one, save up! I cannot afford a DB5 Aston Martin yet, but I will!

Yes you do get what you pay for but I guess for free you can't really complain if you don't have total control over the site's elements but I certainly wouldn't commit to any web site building tool that didn't give me control over title and description tags and the ability to verify the site with Google Webmaster Tools, Bing Toolbox, etc.

This is the reason why I always implement content management systems for my website from the very start so that it's already search engine optimized on site and also its easier for users with no web coding knowledge to update and manage the site themselves

Welcome to this wonderful forum, Solution to your problem is doing search engine optimization by yourself. It will save money as you limited money and similarly it not a difficult thing to do.

Ranking on Google need well optimize website in term of on-page and off-page. If your website is well optimize in both things then surly it will rank well on search engine... cheers...
