A few months ago I created my first website in html for my wife's
reflexology business. Ok, its a bit amateurish, and I keep meaning to
add some css and tidy up the borders etc, but ,,,,,,it works
I've put it on both www.reflex-gemma.co.uk and
www.reflexology-gemma.co.uk

If I do a search on yahoo.com of either 'reflexology gemma' or
'reflexology guildford' (our home town) it comes in the first 2 or 4
hits

If I do the same search on google.com, it comes nowhere

Can anyone tell me why?

with rumour, speculation and gossip along with the rest of us.

So, first thing - can you see the google bot sniffing around in your logs?

next up, you appear to have four host-names all containing the same
content. time to wave a little 301 dust over three of them.

finally. if there's no sign of google in your logs then you can encourage
them to visit with by encouraging friends, colleagues etc. to link to your
site from theirs.

of. I have had similar issues with my main site. But then again. web
design is a pritty hard area to get listed in as there are another
three million sites offering similar stuff.
But I have recently been adding more content to my site.
I have noticed you have doubled up your content on different pages on
your site. Which is not popular with Seo at all:
I would maybe suggest addsence but that may not work well with Yahoo.
Hmmmmm. Yeah. Maybe take Williams suggestion of having some more
people link to you and see how that goes. Maybe even use some sort of
link exchange system. Although. I am not sure how well that would work.
Maybe would get you no where but you never know.

Yu've just found one of the big differences between Google and other
search engines. Google puts a strong weighting on longevity and age of
a site, others (particularly MSN and Yahoo) put a stronger weighting
on freshness and new content.

What tends to happen, therefore, is that a new site will show up very
quickly at the top of the lists for Yahoo, but not on Google. After a
few months (it can take up to a year), this will tend to reverse - the
site will slide down the lists on Yahoo, but climb on Google.

Neither of these are necessarily wrong or better, they're just
different. It's one of the ways in which the search engines compete
with each other. What it means in practice is that Google is better at
finding the most well-established and popular sites on the web for a
particular topic, while the others are better at finding new sites on
the web for a particular topic.

The site's been up for 6 months
and was ranked more highly up google 3 months ago
there doesn't appear to be much competitive change
the only thing I've done is to add the second domain,
www.reflexology-gemma.co.uk which uses the same files as the main
domain
