If i google the words 'surfing at the spit' i get straight to one of my albums.

I have another album titled 'photos of brisbane for sale' & i cant find it at all with google. I have searched through maybe 20 odd pages.

I have triple checked the settings...what have i missed

Put in Keywords, for each photo and for your gallery, too.

Photo tools>add keywords (bulk)

Gallery tools>customize gallery> keywords

I checked that gallery and neither are present.

the 'surfing at the spit' showed up without keywords (although added them 2 days ago) & the other album has had keywords added for several days

Do i have to have them displayed at the bottom of the album ?

Keywork the heck out of them, Gus. All of em.

Then go to control panel>customize and put this in your CSS section:

#photoKeywords { display: none; }

and don't forget to SAVE CUSTOMIZATION.

You can do it Holler if you need more help.

Already had that in css mate. So i plastered another few phrases in that basically said the same thing & still nothing ? Its so odd as google just walks right past it in the seach words & order yet the 'surfing at the spit' just nails it

Who can figure google out? Give it some time, Gus.

Gus, my guess is that 'surfing at the spit' is a lot more unique than 'photos of brisbane for sale'. So with the 2nd case, you are competiting with a lot more pages for ranking. Does that make sense ?

Cheers mate,

Google, like all search engines, re-index sites on a schedule and re-rank pages constantly. I have searches where my site was ranked higher, but today aren't even on the list.

The Internet is a dynamic, living, breatheing animal. Just wait for it to get a little AI tossed in and we'll have t3 in real life...
