ive noticed that we dont show up on google searches for the following until a few pages in.- mutated , mutant waveforms
we do show up on searches for unityengine - but thats coz ive listed unityengine as a profile name on abc contribute & via the throb myspace page.
my question is what do we do to make us appear on 1st page of google searches for-
mutated & mutant waveforms search terms??
as I am a web design novice I dont know how to make this happen.

my thoughts on what to do as a new / unknown artist
posted by trent_reznor:
ORIGINAL POST:
I posted a message on Twitter yesterday stating I thought The Beastie Boys and TopSpin Media "got it right" regarding how to sell music in this day and age. Here's a link to their store:
[illcommunication.beastieboys.com]
Shortly thereafter, I got some responses from people stating the usual "yeah, if you're an established artist - what if you're just trying to get heard?" argument. In an interview I did recently this topic came up and I'll reiterate what I said here.
If you are an unknown / lesser-known artist trying to get noticed / established:
* Establish your goals. What are you trying to do / accomplish? If you are looking for mainstream super-success (think Lady GaGa, Coldplay, U2, Justin Timberlake) - your best bet in my opinion is to look at major labels and prepare to share all revenue streams / creative control / music ownership. To reach that kind of critical mass these days your need old-school marketing muscle and that only comes from major labels. Good luck with that one.
If you're forging your own path, read on.
* Forget thinking you are going to make any real money from record sales. Make your record cheaply (but great) and GIVE IT AWAY. As an artist you want as many people as possible to hear your work. Word of mouth is the only true marketing that matters.
To clarify:

Going through a box of old junk, I came across a very battered old CD-R of some music I was making 'roundabout the turn of the millennium...
These tracks were made using Sonic Foundry's Acid Pro, Cakewalk Express and Magix Music Maker.
I've sorta-kinda always intended to go back and finish them off properly, but when I re-listened for the first time in at least 5 or 6 years, I decided to leave 'em as is... all I've done is add some very run of the mill fade ins or outs where the piece was left incomplete.
The name Cruise Dog came from the BIGGEST hot dog you could get at the Terrigal Beergardens, a staple nightly hang-out back in those days.
All Cruise Dog music is dedicated fondly to Lukey Dukey "Big Fella", an inseparable buddy back in the day.
So... here we go... To the Escapades of Devil Boy and Zen Master!!!
