Hey Hary,

In my opinion you do not need to spend cash to get top results on google or any other search engine. Many people talk about pay per click or linking other sites. We have several web sites all are designed around the key words that your potential coustomers are going to search to reference the web site. So I would start there put yourself in the mind of the consumer and think what you would type in to find your site. Then make sure you referrence those words frequently in the website. The spiders that search engines use to find your site take alot into consideration when listing the results. Everything on your whole site from the title to the name of the pics has to do with what keywords your coustomers are typing into google to locate sites like your.

Best of luck
