Hi Melaniecondon,

A warm welcome to WebmasterWorld.

This place is packed full of information. I'd suggest you start with this thread [webmasterworld.com] which leads to others. It might help you focus on moving forward.

The site search [searchengineworld.com] at the top of the page is also a useful point to start.

There is NO QUICK AND EASY way to get your site listed and ranked highly in the search engines and directories I'm afraid. If there was everyone would be up there!

Some quick pointers to help you though:
1. get your own domain.
2. redesign your home page so it is content rich and aptly desribes your business.
3. find other sites that complement yours and arrange links to and from.
4. concentrate each page on 1 subject. your home page describes 2 areas of your business and that is no good!

If you type algarve villa rentals into google you get back 4,290 returns. Everyone of those want to no #1 So you see how hard it's going to be! Don't despair as sites like this will teach you how to get that all important 1st page ranking. But now you can see that you have some hard studying ahead of you.

I had another thought. I'm sure there must be some great seo's out there who would trade 2 weeks in the Algarve for doing the work for you!
