  1. OK... Mr. leezard you have now posted what I believe is the longest post! [kw or lianna can confirm this]

     

    Now I believe that Ms. Beth and myself had been the ones known for being what others might call 'wordy'.... well, welcome to the club :huh:

     

    Beth: get a load of this guy.... he makes you look like a one liner! :)

     

     

    P.S. I assume it is good information too, not my turf.

  2. (now you see why i asked about to may keywords)
    Now you see why I said:

     

    Before I give comments, you need to really think about the best keyword phrase(s) for you site.

     

    :huh: :)

     

    Much better, sorry too tired tonight to look over the site. I will get to it though.

  3. This should do the trick:

     

    ><div align="center">
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
    <!--
     if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
     document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
     document.write ("http://www.x-trememodz.com/forum/phpadds/adjs.php?n=a554fcbb");
     document.write ("&what=zone:1&source=forum+index&target=_blank");
     document.write ("&exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
     if (document.referer)
         document.write ("&referer=" + escape(document.referer));
     document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
    //-->
    </script><noscript><a href='http://www.x-trememodz.com/forum/phpadds/adclick.php?n=a554fcbb' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.x-trememodz.com/forum/phpadds/adview.php?what=zone:1&source=forum+index&n=a554fcbb' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>
    </div>

     

    Note: just added the first and last lines.

  4. You've been added.

     

    SEO Thoughts:

     

    Not in Google Index :(

     

    First thing, your enquiry into automated SEO software:

     

    It checks your website and lets you know what changes need to be made and after you make them it submits them to about 55 engines. Comes with a rather large manual on what and what not to do for getting your site good rankings. From somebody who does this for a living, what are your thoughts on this kind of software?

     

    I am not a fan of automated software and neither are the search engines. Comes with a rather 'large manual'.

     

    Rob: In the writings offered here at TotalChoice Hosting is a wealth of good information, seriously. In other words, use the resources that we offer here. Take the money that you were going to spend and send it to Head Guru (have it ear marked for Scott's New Truck :D

     

    Now on to knifes and blades (not in any particular order):

     

    1. Move your title tag to just below your <head> tag.

     

    2. First words of your title should be the first words of your description (but overall different wording from your title) and first keywords which should be your most important phrase (which leads me into the next comment).

     

    3. Do keyword analysis....

     

    Read (or re-read) the following:

     

    Keyword Phrases

     

    Keyword Analysis

     

    4. Spend time getting sites to link to your yours. This will involve creating a resources page which will contain links to other sites (we call this reciprocal links).

     

    Good luck.

  5. Not sure of the 'rules' in this forum. If specifics and/or Manufactures are not proper, please delete this thread. If not, I would love two - five cents worth from everyone.

     

    Background on use:

     

    Dreamweaver MX (some pretty intense graphics) and database work (again, some pretty large). I do programming in various languages but that is not real demanding of resources. I would like to get heavy into flash, which would be demanding.

     

    I also would like multiple monitors that would allow me to multitask easier.

     

    Thanks for input. :D

    P.S. No, I do not want to build my own :D and yes, I actually do like Dell :)

  6. Is there such thing as to many keywords?

     

    Most definitely.... YES. Actually most people (and SEO 'experts') use too many. You can dilute the importance of your critical words by including non-critical selections.

     

    Your site is a tough call... I did not 'look' into keywords for you but in thinking about how to narrow to an ideal phrase or two is going to be tough I think. That is really what you want... I phrase or two. It is very difficult to go after top rankings for a whole slew of phrases, actually impossible if the phrases have any competitiveness.

  7. Sorry for the confusion :)

     

    What I am saying, on your home page get rid of:

    >HOME | Guestbook | Email Us | 0-9 | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | Xmas | Links | HOME

     

    Leave it in the header for all your other pages because it is obviously convient, just not on the home page.

     

    Does that mean the PayPal and other affiliate links as well??

    Yes, especially the other affiliate links. Can you not create another page for those? Concerning PayPal, I think that most people that would donate would do so after reviewing the site (i.e. they would be on the 'other' pages). Therefore, not having that on the home page would not adversely affect donations (I think).

     

    Does all make sense now? [notice I spoke in 'shorter' font] :D :D

  8. Leezard: site added... by the way, nice site (and I usually do not like dark ones).

     

    You are not in Google's index :D

     

    Before I give comments, you need to really think about the best keyword phrase(s) for you site.

     

    Read (or re-read) the following:

     

    Keyword Phrases

     

    Keyword Analysis

     

    Then ponder, research and get back to me here in this thread. When I hear from you, I will give you my two cents. :)

     

    Again, congrats on the new TITLE!

  9. Steve:

     

    We added your site.

     

    SEO thoughts (in order as I see them [i.e. random])

     

    You are in the Google index :D , but you have poor page rank :( .

     

    1. Head of document:

     

    ><HEAD>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <meta http-equiv="Keywords" content="panhandle referee soccer florida officials">
    <meta name="Description" content="Florida Panhandle Soccer Referee Association">
    <TITLE>Panhandle Soccer Referee Association (PSRA)</TITLE>
    </HEAD>

     

    Change to:

     

    ><HEAD>
    <TITLE>Panhandle Soccer Referee Association (PSRA)</TITLE>
    <meta name="Description" content="Panhandle Soccer Referee Association - a site for soccer referees in NW Florida">
    <meta http-equiv="Keywords" content="soccer,referee,florida,panhandle,panhandle soccer,referee association">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    </HEAD>

     

    2. Change 'I have moved this website to a better...' to 'Panhandle Soccer Referee Association has moved to a better....'. When you update the text later, always start the first sentence/paragraph with 'Panhandle Soccer Referee Association.....'.

     

    3. If you want to keep your visitor counter on your page (obviously you can tell from my wording that I would not :) ), put it at the very bottom.

     

    4. Move you RingRefs Ring off your home page... just have it on your others.

     

    5. Get rid of the weather link. Too many outbound links, seven for weather.com.... do a smell a scam? Cleaver folks there at weather.com. There are alternatives that create instant weather and less outbound links (search google).

     

    My two cents. :D

  10. Is there a logical reason for this that I am just not seeing?

     

    There is a reason but I am not sure it is 'logical'.

     

    This last Google dance (which ended 5/25) was very strange. It took an exceptionally long time and the results are quite strange. One result looks like they have regressed back to an old index.... this would explain noticeable lack of backlinks that many people have seen.

     

    There was talk that this dance was going to be different (major tweaking of the algorithm). My theory is that they had some problems (major) and that is why they had to regress to old data.

     

    Do not read anything negative in that statement... I love Google :) . The fact that they are always experimenting, changing, improving, etc. is one reason why. This should all work out within the next dance (approx. one month).

  11. First of all let me state that I am completely ignorant of Trellix. I would be surprised that there exists a site development tool that would not allow you to see (and edit) the HTML directly. Please make sure that you can not.

     

    With regard to Meta tags, not essential but I highly recommend them.

     

    Here is the HTML of your home page:

     

     

    ><HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso8859-1">

    Make these changes:

     

    ><TITLE>Catamenial Pneumothorax </TITLE> 
    <META name="description" content="Catamenial Pneumothorax, a complete resource">
    <meta name="keywords" content="catamenial pneumothorax">
    <script language="JavaScript">

     

    Sorry, we can not bold within code. The only change I made were:

     

    Catamenial Pneumothorax, a complete resource for your description

    and I added this line

    <meta name="keywords" content="catamenial pneumothorax">

     

    This is the minimum, but will work fine for you.

     

    Now do not spend any money submitting to a search engine.

     

    I assume you are hosted by TCH. If that is so, add your site to the Family Members Page to get a link to your site (make sure you have a link to TotalChoice Hosting). Also, try to get other sites to link to your site.

     

    Submit your site to dmoz, AltaVista and MSN (the free submit). Google will pick you up when they find a link to you from another indexed page (e.g. TotalChoice Hosting Family Members page).

     

    If you need further elaboration.... just ask :)

     

    Further reference:

     

    To add your site to TotalChoice Hosting Family Page

     

    To add a link to TotalChoice Hosting

  12. If you want to post the code here... we can see it. To call a JavaScript in an html file is pretty simple.

     

    Example:

     

    In the head of your document define the location of your script:

     

    ><script language="JavaScript1.2" src="SomeScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

     

    Then to call a function:

     

    ><script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">someFunction();</script>

     

    Make sure that you have a path to the script if necessary.

  13. In the admin section you can edit the wrapper:

     

    The source for here is:

     

    ><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' background='style_images/1/header_tile.gif'>
     <tr>
       <td align='left'><a href='http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/index.php?#39; title='Board Home'><img src='style_images/1/logo.jpg' alt='Web Hosting by TotalChoice Hosting' border='0'></a></td>
       <td align='right' valign='middle' background='style_images/1/header_tile.gif'> <a href='http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/'><img src='style_images/1/logo2.jpg'alt='Web Hosting by TotalChoice Hosting' border='0' width="345" height="59"> 
         </a>    </td>
     </tr>
    </table>

  14. I'd love to! I may not know all the answers but I usually know where to get them if I dont.

     

    Cool! I would love to welcome you.... I will wait for an 'official' announcement.

     

    Regarding Google...

     

    everyone here pretty much knows my opinion.

     

    Heck I am thinking about naming my fourth child 'little google' (don't worry, I sing soprano [i.e. no fourth child]). :)
