SEO Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 Jeff: We have added 'Tornado Central' to our Extended Family - Nonprofit and Informational Sites SEO Thoughts: 1. First and foremost, I am not crazy about frames... well let me be more blunt, I do not like frames (remember, I am only speaking in terms of SEO). 2. You are in Google's index Thumbs Up 3. You only have three relevant backlinks (well four when Google picks-up the one I just added on the TCH family page). You need to get more pages to link to your home page. 4. You have 9 pages indexed; How many pages are in the site? 5. Your <title> should be the first line after <head> 6. How about: <title>Tornado Central - storm chaser Jeff Snyder</title> 7. How about: <meta name="description" content="Tornado Central by storm chaser Jeff Snyder includes photos, videos, and documentation of various storm chases."> 8. Use alt tags on all you images (setting height and width too). 9. Use Title tags and meta tags on all your frames. 10. Looks like you may have some duplicate and empty tags on mainframe.shtml... I would clean up the html. Hope this helps. Quote
WxGuy1 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Posted December 21, 2003 Scott, Thanks for adding me to the links site and for reviewing my website!! Couple of comments on the comments... 1. Yeah, I thought frames were cool... lol, until I found out the problems with seach engines just linking to one of the frames, leaving the viewer without proper frame context. I have re-coded one of my pages (as a prototype of sorts) using CSS, and it is working quite well. I hope to convert all my old frame pages to css pages... the main reason why I went with frames to begin with was so that a user could select a link in the left frame, have the page load in the right frame without having to reload the left menu. However, this isn't really a concern now, making frames unnecessary and unbeneficial... 2. :-) 3. backlinks are good... I'll try to 'recruit' a little. 4. I think I have twelve pages not including the current left-menu frames and no including the picture pages. 5 - 10. Thanks for the suggestions! I will clean those up when I do my frames-to-css conversions. Again, thanks for the input! It's always good to have some else's opinion, especially one of a technical nature. Thanks!
