As to the question of your friend's site coming up before yours in search, he most likely has more inbound links to his site than you have for yours. I'm not sure how much bolding counts these days. It never counted for a lot before and may count for even less now. However, it is one of the tricks to make sure you get indexed in search engines for keywords you use.
