Mike First -- asking questions demonstrates that you are definitely not an idiot, but are interested and want to get things right :) Second, at RootsWeb Freepages -- you register a "site", not individual (multiple pages). If your site covers more than one surname or locality, Your home page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~judde1421/ has <title>Judd</title> In the Freepages index, it is thus indexed under "J" for Judd.:http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/directory/genealogy-J.html If you want it to appear in the RootsWeb Surnames or Resources Index, you can do that starting here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~websites/register.html For third party search engines such as Google, you'll want to think about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as Pat Geary mentioned. For example, in addition to a <title> tag you can add meta tags to the head section of your page for keywords and a description, e.g. <meta name="keywords" content="Key Words, separated by commas, that will help a search engine index your page"> <meta name="description" content="A brief (about 25 words or less)description of the content of your page"> http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pasher/basichtml2.htm There is no "one size fits all" answer for every Freepages user. Just keep asking questions about anything you don't understand. Pat Asher
