Thinking on getting a custom URL,need advice?Please=)

Hi I just started a wiki to weeks ago but I've noticed whenever I try to google it,it wont show up atall. I went into the Promote tab and they recomended getting a Custum URL,do they make a difference to people finding my site and also would it show on google/yahoo if I did? There are three places for installing a custom URL,which one would be the best to go for,and are they difficult to install? Any help would be MUCH appreciatted=). Do you find this valuable?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it costs money for a custom URL. You do know that, right? =3 Do you find this valuable?

All I can say is that if you want a custom url, get a free one. For example try:
1. www.co.cc
2. shorturl.com
3. www.sturly.com

Yeah well godaddy said its like 10 dollers a year I think I wouldn't mind that. Do they make a difference with your site being on google and does it make it easier for people to find? And are they difficult to install???? Do you find this valuable?

You don't install them. I don't know if it helps you on search engines. GoDaddy is the best choice.

i haven't used GoDaddy but it seems easy. Here's a tip to get your site high on the search engines, add unique content.

"what do you mean by unique content? "
Content that no one else has, interesting things about YOU or something that isn't that popular, etc.
