you cant, cause usually people dont press keywords :p,

look up search engine optimization, usually stuff about putting the rights words in, laying out your site so bots will read it better and such.

Halowed are the ori.

Google uses PageRank, meaning it ranks the pages based on popularity I think, meaning if there are two pages, it'll put the one with more incoming links from popular sites, and more outgoing links or something...

http://www.google.co.uk/webmasters/ That link shows how to get your site listed, and one of the sections talks about the order of listings etc.

Your site is not even lised on Google yet. Give it a little help by submitting your site. On main Google page, click 'about' link, then 'submit site' link, then the add url link. Then wait anything from a few days to a few weeks, or possibly even many months, for Google to spider your website. Then people searching for your site with keywords such as 'horbox racing' will find you.

PS That name of your game really should be changed. It conjures up dirty thoughts in me...

Try google sitemaps. http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps.
You generate an XML sitemap, and google will periodically crawl it. Doesn't guarantee your site will appear in their index, but it helps things along.

horbox racing is a fantastic title. Is it a game about a prostitute whose sneaking conflict diamonds across a national border using her... um... skills? If so, I'm down. But that's what the title makes me think of
