Need help with Google listing

[Wofen]

I have just be promoted in my job to Webmaster, and the first task given to me I have no idea how to complete, and was hoping someone here would be able to help me out before my boss finds out I'm kinda clueless.

I have been asked to get my schools website (http://www.gslc.qld.edu.au/) closer to the top of the listings when you type in "Sunshine Privet School" or "Sunshine Lutheran School" in google.com.au searching in Australia.

I have been to Ineedhits.com, but there packages are not explained very well at all, and have just left me more muddled then before.

Thank you for any help, and I hope this is the right place to ask.

The first place to start is to make sure your site doesnt have any errors.
This will harm your position.

i checked your page for you and found a minefield of errors:

heres the link for the errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gslc.qld.edu.au%2F

after that sort out your description meta tag ( you aint got one! )

<meta name="Description" content="site description goes in here." />

included in the description you should have "Sunshine Privet School" and "Sunshine Lutheran School" somewhere since those are the keyphrases your targeting.

also the title of your pages should contain "Sunshine Privet School" and "Sunshine Lutheran School" some where.

at the moment its :
<TITLE>Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosa</TITLE>

also the text in the pages should contain those key phrases your targeting. at least twice.

i could go on forever but do these and youll be well on your way.

You also want to work on getting links to your site from related sites. The number and quality of the links pointing to your site are weighted heavily in the search engines.
