It's more of a blog really. Very little content and bugger all links to other sites bar 1.
The thing is this was only 2 months ago with very little time or effort but just look at the ranking if you tap in "english builder in Portugal" or any of the keywords displayed on the description.
I know, maybe there aren't many here, builders that is, from England.
I simply beleive that it is all to do with you're Metatags and not the site content.
I never even heard of a metatag until 2 months ago when my server mentioned them and clued me up on how to use them.
I do realise that if everyone was using the same tags then ranking may depend further on site content but I don't really know.
I'm not smart enough to build a better site and I haven't the time to keep updating it, but I'm happy with where it got in a couple of months

The tags do count for content. It's still contained in there. Consider this, I displayed on the first results page as #2 - the second site - maybe even the first, for
"Portland landscape designer"
SINGULAR .... But for "Portland landscape designers" .... PLURAL ... my site was about 300 - thirty pages later. That home page only had the word "designer" - singular. So of the 6 or so occurances of "designer" on my home page, I added an "s" to about 3 of them to get the plural "designers" and figured out a way word-it into my tags too.
In 3 days, my site moved from #300 to about #11. In the week, it went all the way to #2 or so. And the page rank never budged an inch. It was not an update season for Google. When you did your site, did you look at it in code view, or design view? Both?
I like both.
