442GlenwoodAvenue Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 Well, seemed pretty well laid out and easy to navigate. Couldn't find anything to complain about. The person who designed it knew what they were doing. I see that Surefire Web Design did this for you. If you feel the price they charge was worth it, then that's all that matters. 442GlenwoodAve Quote

I will take your comment as the most honest critique I've ever received since you weren't aware that I designed it myself. (Notice my 'handle' I go by in the TCH forums ) The reason I asked for a review, was because when you post in this particular part of the board, you can ask (nicely) Dsdemmin, the resident SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert to give a quick review of the site vis a vis... SEO. So, thank you for the kind words... I'm actually about to update the look of the site. Thanks again for the kind words... you didn't even know you were complimenting me. :hug: I love you man.

SEO Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 OK... here we go (random order). 1. Too many links outbound on the home page, I know that they are internal but still too many. How about a drop down for the states (that would save 45)? How about '5' most recent 'job wants'? 2. All your images need alt tags. 3. Jack, you have some structural problems (these are biggies [i.e. spiders do not like bad html]). - line 81: you have a </p>... can't find the opening tag - line 241 and 242: you have </td> and </tr> with no corresponding opening tags. - line 249: you have /font without opening - look at 243 and 244 too, I think those tr and td tags are extra. - all your anchor tags for each of the 'jobs wanted' do not have closing tags (</a>) Again, Jack... these are biggies. 4.You are not using <hn> tags affectivity. Only use these tags around keyword phrases or headers that have keyword phrases. It is a good rule to always follow a heading tag with equal or lower level (i.e. you follow a h3 with a h2 tag). 5. Title/Meta Tags ><title>Travel Nurse Depot</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="Travel Nursing Jobs from Travel Nurse Depot is an online nurse employment agency."> <meta name="keywords" content="travel nursing,travel nurse,nurse employment agency,travel nurse depot"> 6. Your Title/Meta Tags should be different on every page (i.e. specific for each page). 7. Get more backlinks. Well, I hope this helps (and sorry so long overdue). Quote
surefire Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 Thank you so much for the analysis. I'm definitely guilty of putting my clients' sites before my own. The shoemaker's children go barefoot. Great advice. I'll get cracking on it. You mentioned different meta tags for each page... I think I'm already doing that. **** I just fixed all of the tags (td, tr, alt and so on). Now the only thing the html validator kicks out is the session ID and the title tags... which for some reason it doesn't like the title tags on my page. I've been so busy with other stuff that I haven't had time to clean up my code. Embarrassing. I'll get cracking on a redesign of the site so the title tags are used more effectively. Thanks again.

I think I'm already doing that.Jack will be honest and tell you that I did not dig extensively (I try to focus on just the home page with this kind of evaluation). I only pulled up one page (which one?) and saw that it had identical tags. Sorry that I did not note which one. The shoemaker's children go barefoot. Oh how true! Quote
