HI,
if I got to your website and look at the source, I find that it’s in a frame set. I think this is what the problem is.
Your website is apparently here, and NOT at the URL you posted: http://85.92.73.101/
All the frameset does is give the appearance that the site is where you think it is.
You need to talk to you hositng provider about removing this frame set and using just the domain name to serve the site. Failing that, move the site elsewhere. There are a couple of poeple here who offer site hosting.

i have only bought the domain name from 123-reg.
the hosting is on a friends server and costs me nowt, which is nice.

google verified is something which (apparently) makes it easier for googles webbot things to see and index your site, but obviously there are others out there) and therefore makes your website appear higher in web searches. this isnt a guaranteed meathod but does help it become more visible.
the only problem i do have now is getting the website to have the website name in the browser and not 85.92.73.101.
if you have any ideas that would be lovely.
other than that im very happy with which the site looks.
any comments would be welcome.
You need to create a DNS (Domain Name Server) entry somewhere and
point that domain name at your friend’s IP address. I use http:// easydns.com for this, and like it very much. Cheap, highly available,
easy to configure.
Many registrars are also selling DNS hosting, you might check with
123 to see if they offer it.
Note that you will need to make a configuration change at your
registrar, to tell them that the “official” DNS for your domain is
wherever you have configured it to be. They won’t know, otherwise.
Your friend may need to tweak the configuration on his server in
order for the site to be recognized by name, but that’s something to
figure out once you have DNS hosting set up.

This doesn’t improve your ranking, sorry. But it isn’t a bad thing to
do, as it helps you find and fix things that would cause Google to
regard your site in a poor light. It is that process of fixing your
site that can improve your ranking, not the fact that you’re doing
the ‘verified’ thing.
Lots of HTML text more the better, about that subject.
Use H1, H2 style etc.
Make sure all your alt text is relevant to the page subject
Make sure you have links into that page using the subject in mind - e.g. the link “my subject” goes to a page titled “my subject” and even call the file name my-subject.html
Keywords can be a pointer to the search on that page - keep them very short and use key phrases (more than one word).
Its not rocket science, its mostly common sense. Don’t just talk about what you do, do talk about what you think people will type in to find you (sublte difference here). So the links and page tiles reflect these search words.
Pages like “My work” or “portfolio”, aren’t very helpful, have you ever searched for “about us” or “what we do”. But you might search for “product name” in “area”. So it makes sense to use these words in links, pages titles, and file names.
There is no point in competing in a very busy search area, unless you want to spend money. Its sometimes better to be top at other searches that the big names don’t cover, rather than get nothing at all. Hence for example our following strategy:-
Our new dedicated hosting service is called is called “ineedwebhosting.co.uk” specially named so to got some response from the search engines. Web hosting as you can imagine is a very, very competitive search area. A search of “i need web hosting” does do quite well in a UK search, even amongst the big names, also if you search for “Freeway hosting” this also brings us up in the searches.

So you have your site that you have spent hours on, what can you do to within FW Pro get the search engines to find it and improve your rankings?
H1, H2 styles (See Freeway Pro Styles edit box) structure the text on your site, and help the search engines find out which is the most important text. so for instance your would probably make a H1 style for your main page text heading (an add in some keywords mentioned below). H2 for a sub heading etc.
