    Looking now, but I will post on the 'Add me to the family' thread, easier for me to review my previous suggestions/thoughts. See you there.

    Steve: Here you can read more about inbound links (backlinks). Hope this helps.

    Time. If you do not receive a PageRank within 30 days post back and I will take a closer look. More then likely, it is just a matter of time.

    Steve: Be patient with the changes you have made with the older layout (i.e. I like the old layout much better). Remember, that rank is not changed overnight. Your time would be better spent on accumulating more relevant backlinks. You only have four

    OK... what the heck is that suppose to mean! It is interesting... some days I feel like giving 'more' then others. I guess if one were to read all my posts and put them together???? I do look forward to a day where I may moderate a paid forum in which 'all' the beans will be spilled... specific advice, on a specific subject for a specific site. Maybe we will call it the Non-cryptic SEO Forum.

    To answer your question: YES. I have always found it best to optimize before release (i.e. it is easier to get ranked well out of the gate as opposed to chasing the pack from the rear).

    My opinion would be a definite no. From Google: I know that Google will actually penalize sites for such activity... what is a penalty? Removal from the Google Index [ouch!]. To the “What if TotalChoice were to add the following add on scripts…” Dad-gum Head Guru you can still surprise and amaze me. How much bigger can we make VALUE an issue with TotalChoice?

    Welcome back Nick!

    The TotalChoice philosophy is 'we are here to help'. This is why I address any PMs or emails within the forum... all can benefit (i.e. this should read as a gentle "please do not send PMs or emails" )

    Steve: There was a typo in the code which is affecting your page: <body link="#666666" vlink="#0066FF" BGCOLOR="#E8E4E0"> The 'B' is missing! I will look at the rest later... leaving town for the weekend so it will not be until next week.

    We will start again, this time in order of importance. Here we go: 1. You have multiple <html> and <body> tags going.... This needs to be addressed first. ></head> <body link="#666666" vlink="#0066FF"><HTML> <BODY BGCOLOR="#E8E4E0"> Change to: ></head> <body link="#666666" vlink="#0066FF" BGCOLOR="#E8E4E0"> The very bottom of your code: ></BODY> </HTML> </body> </html> Change to: ></body> </html> 2. You need to add Alt tags to all you images. 3. Way too many keywords! Don't dilute the important ones by adding so many. Place them in order of importance and no more then four occurrences of the same word (e.g. reiki,Reiki,reiki classes,reiki australia would be four occurrences). 4. <h1> tags: ><font color="#333333" size="6" face="Harrington"><strong>Reiki & Seichim Healers<br> </strong>of<strong> Australia</strong></font> change to: ><h1><font color="#333333" size="6" face="Harrington">Reiki & Seichim Healers<br>of Australia</font></h1> I really like your page layout and can not see how you could move your left links and still maintain the balance with your Angle. I do recommend always placing a links menu on the right though (always). Having said that, I would still leave it the way it is. Non SEO note: Get rid of your visitors count... one it adds nothing to your page (actually distracts) and two, ~3500 visitors is not impressive... you know what I mean Two more big hints: 1. Change your links (in the center). e.g. What is Reiki, what is Seichim to Reiki and Seichim, what are they? Get it, first words of the link should be the keyword phrase. 2. You have no body text on this page... well you have 24 words. I would add two or three (or four) paragraphs of body text several <br> below the TCH link at the very bottom of the page. Meaning no one will every really 'see' it. Start each paragraph with a keyword phrase and use the keyword phrase multiple times in the paragraph with <b> </b> flanking the phrase in some instances. Make this readable (i.e. 'real' content). Do not go overboard with keyword phrase (i.e. no spamming). One example of body text I would add: ><h2><font size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">REIKI (raiki,rieki)</font></h2> <font size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The word <strong>Reiki</strong> (pronounced ray - key) is derived from two Japanese words "rei," meaning "Universal Spirit," and "ki." meaning "life force energy." Combined, <strong>Reiki</strong> means Universal Life Force Energy.</font> Wow.... I was in a good mood tonight! Good luck.

    Steve: Received your email but I would much prefer to work here in the 'open'. Everyone can benefit then. Let us go back to the original SEO thoughts page and address all issues there first. I will go there and post now.

    Steve: Did you read SEO thoughts on your page? Before you do anything I would address those points first, I promise it will help. Once these are completed, feel free to post back with ideas/questions. Good luck.

    It is a fine looking site... do not get discouraged. If you build it, they will come. Well, in the realm, if you build it (and optimize it), they will find it! Where you stand: You are in the Google index Thumbs Up PageRank = 5 (respectable ) Number of relevant backlinks: 177 What to do: 1. First and foremost, you need to figure out what the best keyword phrase or phrases are. This is critical and can take a serious amount of research/time. Use resources such as Overture's Search Term Suggestion Tool (http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/). Do searches on google for various phrases looking at the number of pages within the index for that phrase, compare the theme/content of the pages that appear to your own, review competitor sites, etc. Only after you determine the best phrase can you truly optimize. Having determined the best phrase: <title>Main Keyword Phrase First ...

I would almost consider reducing the size of you index page. There is a lot there and from an optimization point of view it might be better to narrow it down to less content. I would have to spend more time considering all aspects of the site to give you more concrete suggestions. Address the ones that I have given and then feel free to come back with any specific questions/ideas. Again, it is a very nice site. Your traffic problem stems from the fact that those interested are not 'seeing' it. When it is positioned correctly (i.e. ranked well for the correct phrases), your site's popularity will grow. You have a great niche... how many car enthusiasts are there?

    From Google: I would not call them evil, but I definitely would not recommend them.

    I like Tuttle's suggestion/solution Thumbs Up Also enjoyed Susan's comments as well. Questions/comments for Susan: 1. What is the average snowfall for Seattle... How magical is Seattle? 2. "In any other division, we'd be in the playoffs, but we play in the toughest division." Ryan Franklin Is this whining? 3. What are your top three favorite reads? [i think you would enjoy Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan] 4. Why have you not added your site to our Extended Family - Personal Sites?

    Well I wrote a little program to read how a 'typical' spider would, that is how I caught it. However, Google (the most important) is picking it up just fine Thumbs Up

    SEO replied to arvind's topic in Add Me to the Family

    ><title>C:\Arvind.blog</title> <meta name="description" content="This is a blog about my personal life in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I try to make the posts consice and interesting giving reviews of movies, books, computer software etc. whenever I encounter something new !"> <meta name="keywords" content="Arvind, Satyanarayan, Abu Dhabi, UAE, British School, Al Khubairat"> Hmm... looks like maybe the directory reference is throwing it off (i.e. spiders are not reading it). Why not change it to just 'Arvind Blog'. Also, shorten your description tag.
