It already appears highly ranked on a bunch of them, but I have never

made a concerted effort to flesh out the keywords, etc. If he wants to

help improve the rankings and keywords, that would be great!

Which ones, ? I mean, which searches or search engines.

If I search Yahoo/Google for " duodenal switch " it is on the first

page. But it wasn't on the first five pages of results for " gastric

bypass " or " weight loss surgery " .

I went in just now and added the following information to the html of

each page on the website:

<META NAME= " Keywords " CONTENT= " gastric bypass, obesity surgery,

bariatric surgery, weight loss surgery, duodenal switch,

biliopancreatic diversion, BPD/DS, DGB/DS, DS, BPD, RNY, VBG,

stomach stapling, Scopinaro " >

<META NAME= " Health " CONTENT= " Information about this unique form

of obesity surgery which has the best long-term percentage of

excess weight loss and a magnificent post-operative eating

quality. " >

I had this stuff in there before, but it must have gotten lost in the

translation when I upgraded the site! HostRocket actually has a search

engine submission tool that supposedly submits the site to a bunch of

different places. I'll use that right now.

If anyone wants to submit the site to any search engine with the info

above, please feel free. Any suggestions on improving the keywords or

description are also welcome!

Sincerely,

Magruder, site administrator

Hey, if you want to put together some donations for ads for the DS, I'm

willing...anyone else?

Re: Thoughts on internet research

When the hubby gets home we'll talk about how to do this to help

. He has to register sites all the time--don't know if he can

get any discounts on volume.

I wish there was someway to get a plug or link on the AMos site. It

would be nice to have a clarification of sorts too. Instead of

saying the negative statement they do--to perhaps say this surgery

requires dilegent intake and monitoring of protein and vitamin

levels.

Why should we be paying for this? What about some of the surgeons

that do this surgery? The AMOS site sells our info to all these

BOZOs for spam that I get, maybe we can buy an ad spot too.

I was thinking we could approach the docs that already have sites to

have links inserted in their sites for the DS info zone too.

I don't know if you have seen the flash prentation that Dr. Husted

has done--I wonder if he would let us use it for the DS info zone?

That is so excellent.

Well I am babbling--will keep thinking about this.
