How do I change the title of my home page in search results?

Question

I created my website using Yahoo Sitebuilder. The home page has to be called 'index' to make it work and when it appears in search results it reads 'home'. How do I change that to read something more useful such as 'Cyprus Bed and Breakfast'?

Answer 1

in yahoo sitebuilder once the page is open to be edited, go to EDIT and a dropdown will appear, the last one on the list is "page properties" clik it and you can edit your title, it works the same way in most editors.

Answer 2

Showing up in search results really has nothing to do with showing up as an index page.

Showing up in search results has more to do with writing great content, and having your content and title analyzed as they do in Sitesell and Sitebuildit.

That was overly simplistic but you'll find a better and more complete discussion on this topic in the Tao of CTPM by Dr. Ken Evoy. Check out his Blog at the link below.

Once you get there scroll down to Recent Topics and click on "i don't want to say that I told you so..but. That will take you to The TAO of CTPM.

You will probably have very questions on page results after that.

A quicker look could be found at the second link. Those folks almost have a failsafe system there.

Answer 3

I'm looking to this myself and think the only way is via using a web hosting service as you pay them and they sort the advertisement getting you ranked etc, then it all depends on how many people hit your site, it does not have to be expensive. The girl above is saying about meta tags but then you can guarantee a million people use the same ones, links from other sites is a good one too.

Answer 4

You will need to change your 'page title' which will change the text in the blue bar at the top of your website.
