The code to embed in a page if you want a Google Map is at the bottom of the page. I tested the code and it looks OK- it's free. http://oregonian.biz/map/index.html

I would definitely have it open in a new window. You can do a lot for free and it's not too horrible to figure out.

Thanks guys, I don't know how I missed that one. So how do you all think it's looking now? Where can I get a map that works? I like those satalite interactive maps or the best one you can think of. I'm thinking about a simple one and tried Google maps but they can't reconize my address, kind of off the beaten path.

Just put up an image of a map to yer place- main cross roads etc.

Remember to submit the site to Google but only when it's REALY DONE. Google will cruise the site moments after you submit it but it takes some time for them to index it so it's best if you have a finished product before telling them about it.

Here's the link to submit the website to Google:

http://www.google.com/addurl/

Thanks Johnny,

I already submitted it a long time ago and the cached shows an old version. Can I submit it again? I also sent it to Yahoo, Alexa, and some smaller engines as well. I don't really know what on earth I'm doing with all this but I figured it couldn't hurt to send it to all that I came across.

Now, can anyone explain how to get good solid backlinks that are oriented with the welding world but not direct competition to me? Remember that I'm a new small shop in a semi-rural area in central Florida and need all the work that I can get. If any one has a site that fits in this category I'm willing to hear you out. From what I understand the more backlinks sites have the higher the ratings and that's better business for all involved. Perhaps someone has an idea on some sort of coalition.

I reaaly want to thank you all for the help. When I started this site it looked like a MySpace page and now it looks professional.

I'd like to show you all another side of my talents, this was sent to me today: Dear Michael,

Just re-submit to Google.

The links page is best if those links also link back to you- it's about being indexed and locatable. It's kind of a "one hand clapping" thing when the link is one-way but If it's truely handy to you and the customer then use it regardless.

[Bert]

What is a back link? I want to learn this stuff also!!! So far, so good
Is the back link the other company's that you link yours to? I didnt' know the proper name for it if that is the case! I just would hope that they backlink your website, on their site also! If they don't, I would take them off yours:
You scratch my back, I scratch yours!!!!!

A backlink is another company that has your site on there link page. If it's your site with a link to there site it just called a link.
