Why Doesn't My Website Show Up in the Search Engines?

Creating a website and making it available on the internet does not mean it will appear on search engines like Google and Yahoo. And even if it does, it is not likely that it will show up in the top rankings.

Naturally, the next question is usually "So how do I do that?" The easy answer is to make sure your website is properly crafted with some basic information in your site's html. This includes making sure you have a properly named title tag, meta tags that contain relevant information about your site, as well as real content within your website to make it a resource worth searching for.

However, you may have already done these things and the site still isn't showing up in search engines for certain key words. If this is the case, you may want to consider using a company specializing in Search Engine Optimization -- SEO, for short. These companies keep up with the latest methods to help an organization's website get the desired placement in the most popular search engines.

Live Oak has partnered with Volacci, an Austin-based SEO company. They guarantee that "by the end of your contract you will have at least as much additional business from your Web site as you spend on our services. . . or we’ll work for FREE until you do."

If you want your site to rank higher on the search engines, give Volacci a call at 512.989.2945 and tell them Live Oak sent you.

Live Oak Lessons - Encrypted Email

Using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to send and receive email is always a good idea.  Live Oak Hosting supports this on all of our servers for added protection.  This means that every time you check your email, all communications with our servers is encrypted so your username and password is not sent "in the clear."  People using packet sniffers on public networks can see all traffic (including your username and password).

Using SSL with our servers is easy!  Just change your mail servers for incoming and outgoing servers from mail.yourdomain.com to secureXX.liveoakhosting.com (where XX is your server number) and then click the checkbox that indicates your preference to use SSL in your mail client.

For more information, please visit our knowledgebase article on SSL or contact us.
