Google search

Trying to get Kyokorin's Japanese Tutor website to be able to appear in Google based on the search: japanese tutor flower mound

Japanese Tutor in Flower Mound
Japanese Tutor in Flower Mound

These currently do not appear in Google. This confuses me a bit as to how to get blogger entries (which is part of Google) to appear in a Google search. Some blogger entries do get found, but I would imagine a majority do not.

By the way, just wondering if the blogs using Google ads are ones which are able to be found by Google. Hmmm... OK, so much for that theory. My mom's blog is found by Google and it only has two entries and has not been updated in a while. Hmmmm... Actually, that doesn't disprove my theory completely. As a postscript, I did find that Yokogolfer was listed in Bloglisting.com. I wonder if that is why it was found in Google.

Google does find Craig's List, so we posted an ad there.

Yahoo actually does find Kyokorin's web page, although the result was sometimes different when logged onto a Yahoo account or not.

Yahoo also finds the Yahoo Directory entry as well, although when logged onto a Yahoo account, it would only show the updated pages from the directory.

MSN Search actually finds the http://www.japanese-tutor.com page although only if using "japanese tutor" flower mound as the search criteria.

As an update...

  1. Craig's list

Yahoo now finds blogspot even when logged onto a Yahoo account, and the order is:

Yeehaw! (I am from Texas.) Google now finds Japanese-tutor.com... on second page, but it is a start. In addition, searching for learn japanese flower mound does not result in a hit, so I have changed the title from "Japanese tutor in..." to "Learn Japanese in..."
