Andrew,
Thank you for the advice. Our website is "http://www.raystownprimitives.com".
I did submit with google (their submitting was really easy.... and free!). I can find us on goggle, but only if I type in an exact duplicate of several of my keywords.
I have not submitted with any of the other websites mainly because I do not understand how they work. Some say "pay per click" others say so much that I'm not sure what I'm "signing up" for.

Any suggestions you can give about keywords would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Missy
