show them what they search for on google!

[scaifea]

I would like to ensure that if someone searches google for an ipod nano in blue, I show them the blue picture, not our usual black one?

Any help here appreciated ... any software or particular language that will do this? or any server side code?

Also how can I perform this within my own website, that is, how do I show them the blue one when they search for a blue nano and not just a general pic and description?

Thanks in advance all

Just make pages that contain content relevant to the searches for which you wish to be found.

You could do this with static pages or data served from a database. Either way, the final HTML output is what matters.
Google will index content on that page based on the URL of that page.

A simple bit of script would allow you to see if the user had come from a search listing and you could grab what they searched for. If it had a color then you could grab this and cchange the image that you showed them.

Thanks for that, I obviously appreciate that this steps into your day job a little. But I'm a little interested in this script ... is this something that is available "off the shelf" or does it need a little more work?
What language, requirements etc?

Any server side code is capable of it.

pseudo code

grab the page referer string (if there)
check it contains [name_of_search_engine]
extract the query string parameter for the search ( for Google this is q= )
extract relevant data from your database and display it.

What he said! How big is your product database? This seems alot of work and if a user hits your home page and then navigates to the product listing then you will not be able to get at this info and you will not be able to show them a specific color.

True, but as the question was for SE referals specifically it's a moot point.

If the user navigates the site to a particular page, normally there is already an option to show different styles or colours.
Search engines may (or may not) be able to index these different options, depending on how they are implemented.
