    Hi guys

    Please see whether the HTML is SEO friendly on this site.

    I know about the problem with the URLs, but thanks God, Google cached it... :)

    I need comments and making the HTML look better

    URL: www.mobile.am

    Thanks in advance

    should I create a system like

    _www.mobile.am/brands/Nokia/8800

    is that what you aim for? I use Windows hosting should I do it with 301 redirects? I can't do a ModeReWrite with ASP

    The site is not Search Engine Friendly. You should remove the frames and try making a static site instead if you cant build a dynamic site yet. Try to avoid using Frames as much as possible.

    Nope, your site isnt Seo friendly, your links are dynamic > e.g http://www.mobile.am/?lang=en&brand=Asus

    You have to make them static.:p

    They should be static as you suggested before.

    there are not frames on that sites, that's just DIVs that FLOAT and Google caches all of its content inside

    The URLs are not important; although they would be better rewritten, search engines are capable of handling query strings.

    The HTML, however, is terrible. Never use tables for layout. Use semantically correct self-descriptive HTML, and style it using CSS.

    Fix the fundamentals first and then worry about rewriting URLs.

    Yes. But don't just use <div> and only <div>. Otherwise, you're not much better off.

    HTML markup is supposed to be descriptive. So, a page heading goes in a <h1> tag, a subheading goes in <h2>, etc. Lists go in <ul> or <ol>, depending upon which one is more appropriate. Abbreviations in <abbr>. And so on and so forth.

    You can use <div> to mark out large sections of a page, if you need. But don't think of the visual layout when you're writing the markup. Think of the document structure and the meaning of all the tags you are using. The CSS-styled visual version of the page is only one version that potential visitors will see. You have to also consider people with no CSS support - no JS support - blind people using screen readers - that sort of thing.

    So in short, put aside the layout for now, and concentrate on making the markup meaningful and minimal.

    But first things first.. Get rid of those frames.. Search engines still have lots of problems using frames and with everything there is out now, they're really not much of a reason to have them anymore (unless of course you're iframing an ad of some sort)...

    So a url rewrite is going to be important.. But I'd fix your framing issue first...

    Rosiee mentioned this up above, but there wasn't any discussion on it and it is important.

    G'luck :)

    Sorry, You're code was so long I didn't really want to look through it... (my apologies for assuming the dreaded frame layout was being used..)

    Here I'll make up for it...

    Look into these for a rewrite for windows (they may help)

    - .Net has one built into it called RewritePath() that you can use in your global.asax file...
    - Also http://qwerksoft.com/products/iisrewrite has a solution that runs on ASP...

    I must give a disclaimer that I've never used either (don't like windows) but it could give you a starting point.
