upgrade to Mavericks

I was advised to purchase and install OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 because I would be able to upgrade to Mavericks OS. I installed and tried to up grade to Mavericks and message back says I cannot load on this computer. My Mac notebook is 6 years old. After some searching I found out that if I download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard it should work for Mavericks. Apparently that was wrong as well. Any ideas out there on what I can do or am I flogging a dead horse trying to upgrade

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

If your computer is compatable to install Mavericks, then you do it through the App Store which would have been included in your Applications when you updated to 10.6.8
