Hi All,

I have been struggling for months to get a site I designed to list 
higher in search engines than a competitor's site same name but .com 
instead of .net (in a different state 1/2 way across the country) and 
I finally have accomplished that in over 1/2 the search engines. But, 
other than adding more apropriate keywords in the meta tags I also 
had to resort to putting more keywords in the title, like so many 
sites are doing now. For instance the title of this site used to be:

	Parkway Chevrolet

Now, in order to get some sites to take notice that it's a new and 
used car dealer specializing in factory invoice and located near 
Spokane, I have had to include the following:

	Parkway Chevrolet New Used Cars Trucks, Vans, SUVs, Factory 
Invoice Dealer Spokane WA Deer Park

Can someone comment on whether or not search engines will refuse to 
list these sites.

BTW, I managed to get this site on Yahoo before they started charging 
businesses, but trying to get them to take notice of the "new used 
cars and trucks" is another problem--this site does not come up in 
such a search.
