Bear with me please as i'm new to this..

I've just purchased the domain: stevemillwardphotography.com and the site works fine. However, it doesn't seem to show up when i google 'steve millward photography'.

On my site i've located the following settings:





What do i need to enter here to maximise my site for search engines?
 
Just to add, when i now google 'steve millward photography' this thread is one of the top matches, yet my site doesn't show up at all in the same search..

You will notice that your search lists this site as the top one, as this site is very popular and your site, being new is not.
You need to get some links going, exchnage links with other sites. Google takes this into account. The more sites that link to you the better.

Has your site been spidered yet by the robots ?
Do you have a robots.txt file in your root folder?

I have just looked at your website and have a couple of suggestions for you

1. Take your email address off the conatct us page, once the spambots crawl your site, you will start to enjoy 1000's of spam email each day. or put it like this
[email protected] or create a jpeg with the correct address on,

2. you have links to Fbook & flicker, these links take the visitor away from your site, try setting the link to open in a new window (tell the visitor first)

3. add some more text to your homepage

Good Luck :)

Cheers, like i say i'm new to all this but will give your suggestions a go :)

Also, what do i need to be typing in (if anything) in the options fields in the screenshoot in my first post?
