Deverill Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I got a toughie here. The realm of fishing in Key West is a very competitive one. Please add this site to the commercial section and when you get a chance, Scott, I'd love one of your rank evals. Now off to ask for a website review... Thanks! URL, Title and Name: Key West Sport and Shark Fishing Charter Boat Charterboat Ultra Grand Slam Fishing charter boat in Key West Florida available for sport and shark fishing charters. There is a link back on each page at the bottom. Rank Evaluation - Please and thank you! Quote
SEO Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Jim: I have added the site to our Extended Family - Commercial Sites page. Will offer you my SEO thoughs shortly. Quote
SEO Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Okay Jim here are some SEO thoughts: The site is in Google's Index with a PageRank of four. The site has 14 relevant backlinks. Work on obtaining more backlinks from relevant sites. Not sure why you are doing the 'opening' page format. I have never liked that as a surfer and not sure it bodes well for optimization (but if designed properly it could). Also, not sure of the best phrase(s). As you know, this is critical. This was addressed in another thread and I believe it was Jack who commented about going after your niche market. I will go back, find that post, and comment there as well in this regard. However, for now, I will say that is right on the mark for this specific situation. You do not need hordes of people looking for 'key west', think about all the 'noise' that would create. You want people who want to fish! Again without the proper research, I am just shooting in the dark here... but for the sake of this post let us say 'key west charter' is the best phrase. My thoughts will focus only on the index page. If you are going to leave this format, change 'Enter our Site' to 'Enter Key West Charter' and remove the graphic link (i.e. do not have a link on the image). Also, would not be bad (or expensive) to buy 'key-west-charter.com'. Again, assuming that would be the best phrase. Obviously, you would do a redirect from the existing site. Change all you links to the appropriate phrase (this would be true for all your pages): e.g. recent key west catches e.g. key west charter rates e.g. key west fishing reports etc. I would like to see a header with header tags on the keyword phrase. I would like to see the keyword phrase as the first words of a sentence. I would like to see the keyword phrases bolded in the body of the text. Good luck my friend Quote
