Are there any tricks or suggestions to making a site show up in a search. I
put in keywords and descriptions, I try to use html text. I recently had to
move a site to a new hosting (some of you here were very helpful in that
suggestion by the way, thank you) and the last designer held the name
hostage so I had to change them from progressiverecovery.com - to -
progressiverecovery.net. I'd like to see them coming up on searchs as ".net",
but they are not. Is there anything I can do to facilitate this?

metatags with keywords is really the only way, unless you pay the google guys some money. If you've never used metatags there's plenty of tutorials both here and on the web.

What? You are joking.

Metatags with keywords are ignored (as they should be) since you can say
anything you want in them. The content on the page, and the way the content
is arranged and coded is the way to do it.

You can disagree all you want. But the only thing that matters is what the
search engines themselves are doing, and they have pretty much all gone away
from placing much weight on keywords as a way of dishing out good rankings.

Here's a very brief FAQ that I've developed after listening to the people
who know:

FWIW.
