    Theres really only 3 pages to the site, and I think that it should do pretty good seo wise. Is there any other suggestions you guys can give? Thanks

    www.Crath.com is the site

    Doesn't look like a good code / text ratio to me. Scripts, CSS, etc. should be external files.
    Your title and meta keywords need to be improved. Not sure about the meta description.
    And you definitely need more content on the mainpage in order to be competitive in Google.

    hmm, i guess that does have something todo with seo

    well im still building the backend of the site, but did plan to make those files external when it was done.

    do you suggest any kind of images on the page to maybe break it up or add color or something?

    I like the sample design. Colors / images won't improve your SEO. So it's up to you.

    Adding more colour will add abit more glamour onto your site, but this glamour will have no effect on your SEO. Try adding more relevant keywords, to help get a higher search engine ranking

    Your meta keyword tag says that your keywords are:
    These keywords don't appear in your title tag, there is no <h1> tag (only <h3> tag) and this doesn't contain the keywords. The title tag should be different for each page. There are no alt tags for the navigation.
    hope this helps.

    thanks for the input guys!

    These keywords don't appear in your title tag: doesn't that look pretty messy?

    there is no <h1> tag (only <h3> tag) and this doesn't contain the keywords: changed h3s to h1s. you say about keywords, does google read my headings and determine my content on that?

    The title tag should be different for each page: Fixed, Think those 3 changes are decent?

    There are no alt tags for the navigation: fixed


    @ internetmarketingiq
    its what i could think of at the time :p

    thanks again guys

    There are some small errors to fix. Check for yorself: http://validator.w3.org/ ;)

    1. Where is your Title meta tag with your main keywords inside?
    2. Your meta keywords sucks. You need 5-7 keywords at most. css, php, mysql, etc. are awful keywords.
    3. The CSS is still there, make it external.
    4. The java script is still there, make it external.
    5. More content, more keywords here and there.

    www.Crath.com

    Page Title is too long
    The maximum recommended length for page titles is 70 characters, your current page title is 86 characters.
    High Number Of Meta Keywords
    The web page has 30 keywords in its metadata. We believe that though the search engines don't weigh keywords as heavily as they used to, they're still important to get right. By using a high number of keywords, it is possible that you are diluting the effect of your most important keywords. We would suggest keeping the keywords to 10 or less. Currently, this page has keywords in its metadata.

    Page Rank -- 0
    Pages Indexed in Google -- 0

    Site looks nice, just make the metadata more accurate, and build your links

    do more work on your website's content and title........and as it is a 3 page website thus you need to optimize these 3 pages very accurately as you have only these 3 pages to get traffic.....still simple but difficult to bring visitors.......

    thanks for all the input guys, i've been tweaking around here and there with all of these tips

    For META keywords... should I be adding longer keywords, such as "affordable website development", or more infrequent ones, like... i dont know.

    thanks again :)

    Nobody search for "affordable website development".


    Your meta keywords should be more like: website development, business website development, website development philadelphia, etc. you got the idea.
