[OT] weddingsireland.com make some dubious use of META description keyword stuffing. I think they are lucky to be getting the snippet they are on google's SERP.

| thanks. I think my problem is that I have a "myGoogle" web page where the goto google.com is not available. Anyway I was able to get to google.com via firefox. When searching on "wedding planning" on google.com I get different results than google.ie. It seems that google is giving considerable weight to the location of a web site and the location of the searcher. I think this is important information because google drives users to google.ie, even if you type in www. google.com, if you as the searcher are based in ireland ( although this seems not to be the case in firefox, but is the case in the latest version of IE ) |

| aOnghus, not sure how suitable SBI is for a Galway accounting business , it's one of those packages that appear to tick all the boxes until you look a bit closer, I'd consider ditching it and starting with a more "traditional" set-up... |

| Hey Richard, have you looked to find the basis of the bias on G.ie? An allinanchor search on "pages from ireland" corresponds closely to both normal search results on PFI and how Irish sites appear on a "web search", haven't yet managed to discern if "local" anchor text plays a part though.... |

| Hi Glengara and Richard Thanks for posts. This clarifies things then, I must have done a 'web' search when those sites came up and I have checked again and nothing has come up for 'pages from ireland' with a .com hosted outside Ireland. Time to jettison SBI then. Glengara - you mentioned going the more 'traditional' route with the website. Do you mean getting a company to do it. I quite like the idea of doing it myself and learning the process, can you recommend any package for doing that? Best regards A |

| I'm all for the DIY thing, problem is an accountancy site should look "professional" and it can take some time to get there, I'd look for a HTML/CSS primer you like, though you may well be already past that stage...... |
