The content of your page and meta tags will determine what keywords will find your site on the search engines (that and many other factors.)

You need to do some more research on SEO to become familiar with how search engines rank sites. Once you get more information you will be able to begin targeting certian keywords for your site through on page optimizations and offpage promotion (anchor text, backlinks, etc...)

I think i can be of some help to you. You need to add the following code in the Pages where you want your own title instead of 'untitled' in the head section with the brackets <head></head>.

Code:

<title>My Site Info</title>

If you need information on adding keywords and making your site search engine optimized then go through the below URL:

1. Remember that Search button in the IE browser toolbar? If you haven't clicked on it already, click it. The "Search Companion" window will open up on the left side of your browser

2. You'll see a "Change Preferences" button about three-quarters of the way down the window. Click on it.

3. You will now see a window with the heading "How Do You Want To Use Search Companion?" You want to click the arrow that says "Change Internet Search behavior."

4. After you click the arrow, you'll be taken to the Internet Search Behavior window. There are two radio buttons to choose from. The first one gives you the option of continuing to search with Search Companion, or search with Classic Internet Search. Neither one give you any more screen real estate, so it is entirely up to you.

5. Below these Search Behavior options, you'll see the box with various search engines listed. Just click on the one you want, and that's the one that Search Companion will search with.

hi,
thank u for your information,
1. Click the wrench menu wrench menu.
2. Select Options.
3. Click the Basics tab.
4. Select the search engine from the 'Default search' menu.
5. Click Close.

If the search engine you want to use doesn't appear in the menu, click Manage. In the Search Engines dialog box, select the search engine that you'd like to use, click Make Default , then click Close. If your search engine doesn't appear in this list either, learn how to add a new search engine option.

Thank you.

I had forgotten to add that i was using ie7, and edited my post at the same time as you made your first one.
Its all sorted now...my default search engine is now google.
I done it a slightly different way though....clicked Tools, Internet Options, then Change Settings under Search. A box opened up giving a list of Search Providers, of which there was only one - Live Search. I then clicked on Find more providers, selected Google and clicked on Make this my default search provider.
I can install as many as i like by this method, and specify which one i want as the default.
