Your site needs to be spidered. Easiest way is to have links to your site on websites that already appear on search engines. Some SEO should be done to make it optimal if you want a lot of traffic, so do that first if you haven't already.

edit:Autoplaying that song on your site is a little annoying. Most professional grade websites don't put music on autoplay, or at least not on the main page.

By putting the link on these forums it will probably be picked up. Put it in your sig and you should be all set.

SEO is search engine optimization. There are a bunch of things you can do to make search engine "robots" find what you want them to on your site, and potentially increase your page rank.

The only parts of the site that Google can see are the Title attribute, meta keywords, and meta description. Everything else is completely invisible to the Googlebot. So pretty much any other site for a "C R Design" or "CR Design" that is not Flash will look more interesting to Google.

Getting more external links will help, but it cannot solve the root problem that the site is Flash and Google does not understand Flash.

This is why all-Flash sites are a tremendously bad idea.

It looks like google is spidering the site, only the main page is indexed:

Google Results

Because even though you have three pages, they all load within that one page.

Google can parse flash now, and it can be optimized. However flash is still a bad choice for SEO, because you can have 100 pages of your site, all based in the flash file, and google will only see it as one site. Even if google spiders all that content, it's all bunched together in one file. If you have 100 html pages, they'll each be spidered, and each individual page will rank for terms that are relevant.

Think about focus, if you have 100 pages worth of stuff on one page, you lose relevancy for each of those pages. If the page stands on it's own, the content density is much higher. For instance if you are selling bicycles, and you break them down by brand, you have a better chance of someone finding a page about "diamond back bikes" if you have a page about Diamond back bikes, rather than finding that same information buried with 50 other brands.

Hope that makes sense. If you're really serious about SEO, google some information and start reading, there is a lot to learn, but it's worth it in the long run.

your friend needs to unfriend you for making that site flash

Use Google Webmaster. Read through all the documentation, you can register your site with google, give them a sitemap, tell them what to crawl, tons of things you can do to move your site higher in their rankings.

i was running a web site that tracked the status of a bankruptcy of a company that provided aftermarket auto warranty coverage. I had a message board on the forum (i created it all in Frontpage ).

it was the 1st hit on google when the company was searched. I think it must have been the message board with links to each message in the forum...

a script that submits a URL to 50 or so search engines for spidering,
including all the big search engines.

it's suggested to not give 'it' your main email address.

but it does get the job done.

 

[troytime]

don't submit your sites to search engines.
and never ever ever use a script that submits to multiples.
