Hello all,

My website http://brezerd.net/ is going well. there is a growing user base, a working login system and good content.

One problem I'd like to address though.

The search query:

Brezerd

in Google comes up with my website.

However, when searching that same query in Google Images or Google Videos, it displays a different type of results.

Brezerd - Google Search [Mod note: Google's correction is Brazzers (non-appropriate content), removed link just in case]

I think you see my problem. How do I get higher up on Google enough to not be interpreted as a typo?

SEO, more content, advertising, what do other webmasters recommend?

An ironic situation, I would personally well tag images and have them associated with the name, so Google recognizes it is a valid term soon enough. It seems a lot easier to get up in ranking on google images in my personal experience. I am unsure the way to contact Google though to ask them to correct this, you could always try to write to the letter nearest to you.
Google offices ? Company

When you say 'tag' do you mean the alt attribute? Or simply including it on relevant pages?

[Alexander]

On a few of my websites, I had properly gave alt tags and titles (mainly tags relating to my site not the image) and they appeared pretty high up there in the image results, I would start by doing that (especially adding the keyword Brezerd to them)

Once Google associates the name with the content among other things, hopefully the algorithm will add that word to the database. We've no clue what it takes, that is certainly a good start however.

If you have any concerns considering your site and google, I suggest visiting this page --> Google Webmaster Central. Get data about crawling, indexing and search traffic. Increase traffic to your site.

I set all my sites up through this tool, and follow their guidelines to a T and my sites always show up on google the way I want.
I also like to set up a google search on my page, this definitely helps!

Thanks, I'll use that. I have begun to add a lot more metadata and tags to images and the like. How would you go about configuring search results though?
