Achieving "Link Popularity"...??

[system0]

i mentioned in my first post that there are occurrences when google does use them as back up

im a little confused by your attitude to all this after me offering to design a logo for you for free

[Addictive]

my attitude is fine but as i also said my best friends boyfriend works for google in london and has told me how they come to a top 10 ranking etc. so i think im more tan qualified on what google uses

i dont want to get in an arguement about it , im just saying what i know. if ive sounded funny or anything then im sorry and i do appreciate you offering to do a logo for free

[system0]

no probs
have you got a first draft of the site yet - it might help me when doing the logo to see how it will be integrated into the site

[Addictive]

its using postnuke with teh Somare - Yellow - borderless theme

i have attached the default logo so you know the color etc

Anyone wanting to see what search engines are looking at should read this article:
http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/meta.html
The meta keywords tag is pretty much dead and ignored due to abuse. However, some meta tags are used. description is used often as the paragraph under search results by altavista and some others. the Title html tag is probably the most important, followed by the text in a large type header on a page.

Actually keywords are better placed in your page content rather than in meta tags. I've heard some search engines will even remove your site if it finds a keyword meta tag without the words actually on the readable page.

maybe i can help clarify a little. I spend most of the day working with google and their serps. there's a great forum at webmasterworld.com if any of you want to learn more.

google does use meta tags, but only in the description and even then, if you're listed in dmoz then that description trumps all. incoming links are what you need to work on, from sites that are like your site themewise and with keywords in the anchor text.

i highly advise against signing guestbooks, google knows about this and it won't help you at all...may even get you banned PR0. good luck
