SEO Thoughts:

 

You are in Google's index and have a PageRank of 4.

 

You have one relevant backlink ;)

 

1. Get more relevant backlinks.

 

2. <title>:

 

<title>Eastside church of Christ in Shortsville, New York -

www.TeachUsLord.com</title>

 

Get rid of www.TeachUsLord.com

 

3. <meta name="description"

 

Visit the Eastside Church Of Christ in Shortsville, NY. We update our website with new articles every 2 weeks so come check them out. Get free Bible Courses, and more at the Eastside church of christ's website! Teachuslord.com Visitors gladly welcome!"

 

Too long! How about:

 

Eastside Church of Christ is located in Shortsville New York (NY) - visitors gladly welcome!

 

4. <meta name="keywords"

 

These are ranked in order of importance. Therefore, you are saying that 'shortsvile', 'ny', and 'new york' are your top three phrases. I do not think this would be true, is it?

 

Get rid of the space after each comma: shortsvile, ny, new york, ... to shortsvile,ny,new york,...

 

5. BIGGIE: All your internal pages should have a link back to your home page, did I miss it? Also, I would have the link entitled 'Eastside Church Home'.

 

Non-SEO comment:

 

I love the home page: very clean and professional. It looks like the internal pages were created by someone else... different look and 'feel'. I would mimic the look of the home page and carry it throughout the site. Make sense?

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the help. I changed my pages the way you suggested except for the link back to my home page. Is that what a "backlink" is? If so I can put one on all of the pages but I don't see a need since my index is not really the main page. If it is just important for search engines to see but not for everyone else, could I just make the banner a link back to the mainpage? Thanks for your help + time.

Computerman:

 

A 'backlink' is any page that links back to a 'site'. Now really it is linking back to a 'page' (e.g. internal pages have backlinks too). How we define a 'site' in these terms would be the index page which is and should be the most important page of a site.

 

It should hold the most PageRank and thus pass that PageRank down throughout the site (to the internal pages). Introduction pages are a mistake... remember I am speaking in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) terms here only. Any splash, or 'Welcome' or any none informative introduction page is not a good idea.

 

From a personal point of view, I do not like them either... one more click I have to make to 'see' what I was looking for in the first place.

 

Hope this makes sense.
