Hi, hopefully this is the right place to post this question.

Basically, my site is: www.meit.me.

When I go to google and type meit.me - it yields nothing.
nor when I type meit photography and design.

How do I go about making my site appear when I search it.

Do I have to do something in go daddy where my domain is parked? or do I have to do something on my smugmug account in terms of adding keywords and stuff.

What do I do?

Thank you in advance

Register you site with Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/

... and wait. Do the the same with Yahoo, Dmoz, basically everywhere you can. Add captions and keywords. It takes time to be indexed and even more to make it to the top. Lots of old sites will turn up for photography and design, and meit can be seen as an error for "me it" or "miet", although I wouldn't worry about not being found for your name because nobody searches for someone they don't already know. It's more important to be found for what you do, ie x-type of photography in x-area.

Thank you for your reply.

Do I need any special meta tags?

You need to add some descriptive text to your bio box. Go to the slideshow help page at http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow, scroll down to GOTCHA, and follow the instructions there.
