Beth's home page

 

A site of family pictures, my writing on various pregnancy, labor, and parenting topics, and the beginnings of some web advice.

 

Rank Evaluation (please)

 

Thanks!

You have been added Beth.

 

I see the TCH banner on your site, we would much prefer a simple text link:

 

'Web Hosting by TotalChoice Web Hosting' would be ideal.

 

SEO thoughts:

 

You are not yet officially added to Google's Index, but you are in the queue.

 

This being a personal page means that it is obviously less critical to be 'ranked'. It still nice to be indexed though, long lost friends might be looking for you.

 

Having that said, I believe the best phrase to optimize for would be your name (and variations of it).

 

You need to add some Meta Tags (Title, Description and Keywords).

 

Read about Meta tags here

 

Obviously, use your name in all three tags.

 

Add these to each page focusing on the uniqueness of each page (e.g. Beth Weiss Writings)

 

From previous discussions, I know you have friends (and maybe family) that have websites. It would be good for you and them if you were to add a 'Friends and Family' page linking to their sites and have them link back to you.

 

Side note:

 

If you have a personal page that you do not want indexed simply add this Meta Tag in the head of the document:

 

><meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

 

The nofollow will prevent the spider from following any link contained on the unindexed page (it could be left out).

Is an alt tag going to have the same results for search engines as text itself?

No.
