Hi
I need to add keywords to myweb site (well I think I do) so search engines can find it, how do I do it, I can easily do this on a PC as I have done it before, but on a mac I am a little stuck,

can anyone help me out
thanks

Google knows about you : http://www.google.com/search?q=site:michaelcrawfordhick.com
But that did not actually asnwer the question, Yes google knows about me as I have had items published on the web (sailing related photos), and would know about me and my site, but with a PC version of an html editor you can put keywords in the body of text before a header etc
But it seems I cannot do this on a MAC unless I am mistaken
A Mac isn't really that different.
Open the published page in a HTML editor of your choice and add the keywords.

Magic keyword : SEO
You should read this: Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking. Other search engines might so you may still want to add them but Google does not.
This page at the iWeb for Musicians site has good information on how to get your sites noticed: SEO.

Keywords should be placed in the page name, title tag, meta description and the text content of your site.
The first thing that Google looks at is your sitemap.xml so the site name - if you have one - and the page name should have keywords separated by a hyphen. If you have uploaded the whole folder produced by iWeb, its name will appear in the URLs. So make it descriptive with hyphens like "Business-Name-Location".
Same applies to page names. Instead of "Home" use "Business-Type". This is why you shouldn't use the iWeb default navigation since it uses the pages names. Making the navigation page names different to the actual page names will make them more sensible to humans and allow more keywords.
The title tag is probably about the most important place for keywords. To maximize its effect, make the first few words descriptive for the bookmark and the rest keywords. Avoid those like and, the, a, for etc.
