Hi techy types

I have just been working (playing) on doing myself a website on the freewebs site,basically just filling in the blanks on a template.
My problem is, when a user types the address to search for it, it often isn't found. If I type it into the Google box, it generally finds it. Type it into the aol box and it doesn't. The link I've done works ok.
Please, what do I need to do?

maybe not your fault , could be some sort of filter within AOL.

This is because your website isn't yet 'picked' up in the search engines or your page-rank in the search engines isn't high enough. Usually takes about 2 or more weeks to be indexed by them. Just keep adding content to your website and try and get relevant websites to link to you and it should help

Thanks for the replies

This is why people should NOT use AOhell, their software is crap and doesn't work.

Haha I didn't know AOL still existed!

Do they still force you to use their awful proprietary browser?

and also, I'd recommend learning some basic html, (www.w3c.org is a good place to start)
write your own, and go for hosting like www.nearlyfreespeech.net and get a .co.uk domain from www.ukreg.com or www.123reg.com for £6 for two years.

much more professional looking then
