    haha. I had similar happening with mine, but now it has slipped down a fair way. I have no idea how to keep it ranked high. I can't remember what I did to get it ranked highly in the first place.

    Hey Bluey, What sort of money are we looking at for a site built by you? Nothing over the top just a few pages of relevant info that ranks well and can be user updated without being a computer geek?

    Thanks John.

    Good one that gave me a chuckle .

    Dont get him angry he might add another zero to the quote .

    Like the quote on fishing too. Do you get to do much up there or you too busy working?

    Two other things that can affect your page ranking are:

    1. The age of the site.

    Sites that have been up & running for several years will rank higher that a site that's only been up for 6 months. The older the site the more credibility it has with the search engines.

    2. You need to keep your content fresh.

    By adding fresh content on a regular basis (text, pictures, anything really) the search engines see the site is updated regularly and will keep coming back to index your site.

    In their eyes, if you don't make regular changes, your site goes stale & visits by the google & co. will decrease significantly as they may no longer consider your site to be relevant.

    I have been doing the reach on www stuff as well.
    My 19yr old daughter goes out with a IT skilled chap who been telling me the do and don'ts. (then I say can you tell me all that again)

    For our little world it can be very cost effective.

    Many domain/hosting sites trick you into thinking that your dealing with an au site and your most likely not!!!
    Many IT geeks/nerds, hum!! not talking about my daughters boyfriend here, hang out in the Whirlpool Domain forums and pump out some interesting free unfiltered info.

    That forum put me on to a well recommended very cost effective domain/hosting site based in Sydney Parramatta.
    I'm no brain on this stuff, and we all have opinions and I've seen some brilliant sites here that I can admire and hope for one day.

    But google. "web hosting parramatta" and you might just find the site I have started to use.
    Yep www.riversidemowing.com.au is now registered

    Lawn mowing Melbourne 4th on Yahoo not on the front page for google or bing

    lawnmowing melbourne 9th on Yahoo not on the front page for google or bing


    I noticed in your keywords on your site there in no phrase Lawn mowing Melbourne, try adding that as well as mowing melbourne, melbourne lawn mowing , lawnmowing melbourne might help.

    Here's t he results I got, but my wife tells me that if I was using a different computer it may give different results apparently because it changes depending on previous searches etc. Might pay to go to a local internet cafe and do the searches totally random as if you were a customer.

    Hope that helps.
