I checked Google (australia) and Newarts.org was right at the top of page one. I do not know if that's the one discussed here because there was little detail of contact or location except for an email address.

I administer a website for an organisation NewArts(Inc) of which I am secretary. The previous version had a different name and we agreed to change the domain name to newarts.org.au for a number of very good. While this is not a seriously distinctive name, our belief that "newarts" rather than "new arts" would mean that we would float up in Google. How wrong that appears to be. Google.com does not rate us in the first five pages, Google.au is marginally better if you go to the suggested newarts.org. Adding some extras in the search will pick it up as I have added ketwords etc in the metadata. This is an unfortunate and annoying dilemma. One solution is to take out another domain name - but what should that be? That is a highly annoying route to take. I am surprised that Google in effect equates "newarts" with "new arts" in effect ignoring the space. THe URL etc was directly submitted to Google in the usual way.Has anyone any tricks to offer on this one?
