Hi kmessinger,

Thanks for the info and assistance.

I can understand what you are saying re being a bit generic but I still don’t understand why there is such a difference when I search for “tourtheuk” and it comes up on the first page??

Could there be another problem on the site that we are just not seeing??

Seems very strange to come up on page 1 with one expression and to be no-where with the one that matches the title, description and keywords.

With the “tourtheuk” search term, I even get the google map come up.

As you can see… I’m definitely not techie … probobly to the point of being a pain … but thanks for you patience and advice.

Hi kmessinger,

Thanks for the quick reply.

It’s several months now that I changed the title here

Settings/general/site title

and I think it was quite a few weeks before that when the site went up.

I changed it from what WP seemed to put in automatically(?) as ‘tourtheukcouk’ to ‘tour the UK’.

I thought no more of it till reviewing the site.

All the search engines that I have tried seem to return good results (first page) if I enter ‘tourtheuk’ but nothing when I enter ‘tour the uk’.

I have the impression (rightly or wrongly) that the site has been indexed by google with the old ‘tourtheukcouk’ title and not been looked at since it was changed.

Any help or advice would save my sanity.

Regards,
David
