Why is my website not showing up in Google?
Making your website rank well in Google by choosing good keywords and having great content is called SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Performed correctly, SEO will make your website "show up" in Google's* search results.
We will refer to Google when dealing with SEO, however Bing and Yahoo (now owned by Bing) account for 30 percent market share and most of the SEO information, if not all, applies to Bing+Yahoo too.

How to do SEO
On the home page in particular .. you focus on:- WHO you are - WHAT you do - WHERE you do "it"
You may want to add other ingedients to the mix such as price tages "cheap" or "free" but the main descision for your HOME page will be to go with the BRAND or SERVICE / PRODUCT TYPE. The brand being the name of the company (eg Chum) or the Service / Product Type (dog food)
Incidentally .. Making your website rank well in Google by methods other than page content (off-page) is called SEM or Search Engine Marketing. This section deals only wtith SEO. Click SEM for the "other" methods of gaining traffic to your website.

Optimization vs Optimisation
Calco is a UK company and yet we use the American or international spelling of the word Optimization in our on-line literature.
We have done this to show you an example of real world SEO. Most people searching for SEO will probably spell the word with a "Z" We want to catch most people.
From the above you can probably glean that Calco wants SEO business from America. However, It really depends on the popularity of any targeted keyword, even if we only wanted UK clients we might still use "Optimization". The following table shows the number of pages with both spellings; first in the UK Google.co.uk and lastly in the Global Google.com (USA)
GOOGLE UK : z=114,000,000 pages
GOOGLE UK : s=104,000,000 pages
GOOGLE COM : z=104,000,000 pages
GOOGLE COM : s=12,000,000 pages

Unfortunately mailboxes fill daily with charlatans and fraudsters. If the ad says that this or that company can get your website to the top of Google in next to no time.. BEWARE!
Many companies offer top ten listings (the first page of results in Google). Just remember Google themselves say they do not take money for placement in their normal results. Anyone can offer to put you in the top 10 of page one in Google for: cephalopod pyjamas, its less likely they will get you in the top ten on page one for keywords like: cheap car insurance.
