I know a guy who makes his living in large part by doing what he calls "search engine optimization." He knows tricks that will get you a top level hit on Google and the other engines. I've seen his work on this and was quite impressed.

Just put a few words in that you are pretty sure will appear only in articles you want. Use the fewest number of terms that will give the specific answer you want. Leave out AND, BUT, How do you...? etc. 'Olympus' gives you a mountain, a make of camera, and who knows what else. 'Olympus Camedia' gives you a line of Olympus Cameras under the Camedia line. 'Olympus Camedia C-700' gives you a specific Camera. 'C-700' gives you a slightly different set, and you can screen out the Pet Lovers Forum at the top of the list. Be careful to look at your results closely before you allow a bunch of cookies to get set on your computer. I fell into a trap a few weeks ago. I searched Ask.com for 'Drudge' and came up with the following: www.drudgereport.com and www.drudge.com I clicked on the second choice, which turns out to be a sarcastic parody of the real Drudge Report. Before you know it I had typed in my cell number to get some free ringtones, and then they had me.
