hi Guys

As you may have seen in other posts I made a few make shift web sites on godaddy.com for my self defense classes in thailand where I am based right now.
as I said before the site Krav Maga Self Defence Thailand Bangkok Pattaya Thailand Martial Arts is makeshift until the web pro has finished, so do not expect a master bit of work!

anyway I made the site on godaddy.com and I added in keywords, like Krav Maga Thailand, Self Defence Thailand, Martial Arts Bangkok etc...loads of them...

I submitted my URL to google, and yahoo and msn and that open directory dmoz thing (some how I do not think I got listed in there)

anyway I notice when I go into Google and search the web, my site (or sites...I did a few other ones, and linked them...some experts say not to do this...some say to do it....so I went with doing it)...anyway... I come up under google alot on 1st page, but if I search google thailand I do not come up, or I come up way pages down.

Now I got self defence schools and we swapped links and also I got thailand sites to swap links...

I also got an adwords for google, just for Google so I am a bit confused...I want to dominate my local engines...of course no harm coming up on the gobal ones... but its the local ones where I will get customers.

I also listed my site, add the URL to a few Thai serach engines written in thai...man that was hard and it took me ages... there probably is an easier wa, but I m learning myself.

Any ideas, tips on how I can do better on local rankings?

Thanks
