This would be a total guess on my part, but have you placed your name in the META tag area? This is what I have done, so when you google my name (Derek Kennedy) - it brings up my page (first in google actually).

IN my header section, this is what I have placed:

< META name="keywords" content="Derek, Kennedy, Wendy, John, Dryden">
< META name="author" content="Derek Kennedy">

.^ remove that space between the '<' and META

These have no effect, AFAIK.

If you only google her name Tanya Del Negro, you get:

1966600 - powered by smugmug (http://www.tanyadelnegro.com/)The ultimate in photo sharing. Easily create online photo albums. Share, store, organize and print.
www.tanyadelnegro.com

BUT if you add 'photography after her name you get the proper google response that you got, and that she is looking for.

Ah, I see. That is something that was in the page title when Google indexed it. Tanya, unfortunately you will have to wait for Google to visit and index your homepage again to pick up the current title.

Hey, your lucky, Google just reindexed your site (on Nov 5), so that old entry has been removed (today). If you are still seeing it, clear your web browser cache then try again. :thumb
