my domain name is www.irgoogle.com .. does this name affect the way it's searched?

Have you manually submitted your site to be indexed?\nDid you get a reply of any sort from Google?\nMaybe you should contact them and explain the situation.\n\nI looked at your site and your logo emulates the official Google logo. I'm pretty sure Google will have a problem with that, if your site isn't official Google partner or a fan site. If it's a fan site, you should contact Google and explain the purpose of the website and request they acknowledge it in their search.

http://www.yourname.com\n\nhttp:\nThis tells your browser and server to make a connection to the Webspace for displaying HTML\n\nwww - the world wide web subdomain.   \n\nyourname. \nThat is the basic name that you bought.  \n\ncom \nThis is the .com subdomain.  It was first intended to indicate a commercial business.  But everybody seems to buy that.   \n - .org  was intended for non-profit groups\n - .edu is education\n - .mil is military\n - .gov is government\n\n - .uk is United Kingdom\n\n Good luck with all this.

You have to find a "Who Is" list on godaddy, etc. and try to purchase it from the current owner. Unfortunately, there are so many domain pirates out there.

Well, not really. (making alot of sense) There's a way to link someone's website to certain search words by somehow putting the term on it and then hoarding it with links to that term. Google works by how many links your website takes hits on and that determines how high up on the search you come. It really isn't a coincidence.

The international internet council, or whatever it's calling itself nowadays, must keep a master listing of all domain names, be they .com, .net, .whatever.  These are maintaned on special computers across the internet called nameservers and their name describes their function.\nTo find out if a name is being used, go to any domain name sales site (godaddy.com for instance) and search for a name.

A reference library told me that not all websites appear on all search engines or in the same order. I can't tell you why, except it helps to sometimes use more than one search engine.

I suggest you to get a domain name first like www.yourcompany.com

The most logical thing you can do is contact the owner of each website where your name appears and ask them to remove it. Only then will your name be removed from Google's and Yahoo's search results (when their bots scour the sites in question next).\n\nSee this from Google:\n\n"Google updates its entire index automatically on a regular basis. When we crawl the web, we find new pages, discard dead links, and update links automatically. Links that are outdated now will most likely "fade out" of our index during our next crawl."\n\nAnd this from Yahoo:\n\n"If a web site has published your personal information or incorrect information about you, you should contact the site owner or site content provider to get that information corrected. Yahoo! does not control and is not responsible for such content. After the site has removed or corrected the published content, the information in the search database will be corrected by our normal content refresh processes. You may still see the pages listed in our databases for some time after the site content or control documents are changed. The changes will take effect in our search database when the information is updated in our next refresh cycle."\n\nHope this makes sense.

I've been trying to find a free search site for 3 days now and so far I haven't. You should also beware of the sites that want to charge you. Some of them just direct you to another site after you have already paid to another site that will try to charge you.

NO!\n\n\nThe domain is currently "Trusted" due to one or more of the following:\n\nGeoTrust has validated the domain as safe \nIt has extensive site history - a rare characteristic of spoof/phishing sites \nAlways use caution when providing personal information or downloading software on the internet.\n\n\ni have never tried it, but its ok to use it.

Register.com has created a "coming soon" page that amounts to their face in my face (popups etc). Can I get rid of this?\n\nOnce you create your site, and modify the DNS to point to the new site, that will stop.  Ask Register.com for instructions on setting the new DNS.\n------------------------\nDo I have to use their servers or their website creation services?\n\nNo.  If all you bought is the registration, you can point it anywhere.\n------------------------\nIf by chance my proposed .com got to be big, do they own a piece of it or have any rights to it?\n\nNo, unless you forget to renew your domain name - then, anyone can pick it up (including me) and sell it back to you for a profit...

Check your address is correct\n\nIs the first file on your website index.html if not rename. Usually it is required.\n\nWhat browser and version are you using. The older ones conflicted. Some still do. e.g. Netscape did not like capitals of file names but Explorer was okay. \n\nRefresh or reload your browser it could be a simple as that.\n\n\nThere are lots a little reasons why it might not show. You'll have to keep tweaking.

NO!  You can change your real name, but not your domain name after you have registered it, crazy huh?\nIf you have already started building the site, and it would really suck to have to start all over building a new site with the right domain name, you are not out of luck.  What you can do, is spend a few more bucks and buy the correct domain name, hopefully its available.  Next, you would redirect the correct name to the misspelled domain name.  You can redirect it usually free of charge from the same place you bought the domain name from.

A very good site. Looks cool. If you want to get a full domain name, and keep your old site, check out www.dot.tk, they will give you a full domain name, with a Javascrit redirect link. Check it out!

Yes, you need someplace to host your webpages so that others can view them.  The domain name is merely a friendly address people can use to get to your site.\n\nI use and suggest Dreamhost for hosting.
