    I would start easy. Get a knowledge of you target keywords and use them meaningfully in your <title> Tags. Gonna have to try and put a lot of meaning in the HTML parts of your site. Its mainly flash which is terrible for SEO.

    Sure. As long as there's something in it for the SEO expert. Like if Pepsi came to me to work on a small project... honestly I'd do it for free just for the traffic and exposure. I barder all the time with local business in my area. I once wrecked my car and got $1,000 off the repair bill for writing a detailed site evaluation.

    You design logos right? I'm sure a lot of SEOs wouldn't mind some graphic work done in exchange for their service.

    Before you do this, you have created a Flash site and this will make you SEO very difficult to do. Rethink your site design.

    i would suggest having a html version of your site as your primary site and if your visitors want to be dazzled by your flash talents then they could easily choose, but for seo you really need your site to be html. can you make flash games?

    I agree about the flash player. Thats basically the whole content on your homepage. I would put that on another page like = Gallery or something to show your work..but home page is home page and should have links and text and your CSS style sheets, and your formatting and meta tags and keywords, key phrases etc.

    the way you have that page designed is good for a virtually non-existent page rank or google search listing. but it IS good for your customers to see. Flash usually looks better than a basic site BUT it kills you in time to download ,the file size, and Google ranking will basically spit that out and run away - it doesnt like Flash like that.

    Here's an idea, if you have to put images on the front page .. what about a PHP script that has a timer or random function? that way every time they load the page its a different picture. Or a smaller file thats a gif that shows pictures scrolling in thumb nails, but when clicked on takes them to the flash gallery page? Its your site but as far as SEO goes, that page will most certainly be non-existent in Google etc

    Well, great ideas and advices people. Thanks for all. Actually l know Flash sucks at main page, but then I started thinking what I can put instead of flash portfolio. Because I know if I even put some textes people won't read and directly go to portfolio.

    ps : @ sweetlouise : unfortunately I cant make flash games.

    Its a Professional website and often companies have such websites where you can't do much about onpage seo, which is fine. I don't think there is any need for you work on word density or putting text and articles or howto's or faq's,

    The site is absolutely fine, now you just have to work on offpage optimization. Find 10 keywords for you and start link building for them as well as start exposing your site.

    Here are my tips -
    Link Building -
    1. Do article submission. Its a great way to get targeted traffic.
    2. Buy links and blog reviews from quality sites. Try to make sure, you get some traffic as well other than links.


    Web Exposure
    1. Start participating in designing forums. DP's designing forum is also pretty busy.
    2. Start using your site in your signature everywhere and tell what you people do.
    3. Start commenting in High Quality designing blogs(there are many). Such blogs are read mostly by people who are looking for something and you can get some nice directed traffic.

    Oh and one advice, if you are looking to spend some $$$ than instead of writing articles and Faq, come up with a tool which people are looking for and put it on your website. :) it will act as nice link bait.

    Regards and Best of Luck

    Really appreciated. Very very nice helping post. I'm going to write some stuff in blogs for ads, l didnt do that. I already participated in many design forums. DP's designing forums.. I dont like it, too many customers choose the worst logo even if I spend 1-2 hours to make something professional. And they pay you 20$- 30$, I know its the way of the beginning but I tried, its not for me, I join contests in other forums.

    I put my link in my every signature in every forum. DP is my best referal like %50.

    Thanks for it :)

    Your services/products seem to have high competitive niches for SEO. However, you can build good relationship with new customers for long term.

    1) Fix the typo for "Logo Desing Package" under your products page.

    2) Create an HTML page for every Flash page on the site. You don't need the HTML for customers, you need the HTML for Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

    3) Put internal links to each of the pages on the site at the bottom of every flash page.

    4) The HTML pages should be nothing more than a 200 word description of the page it is being create for.

    Ex: Create a products.html page for the Products page on your Flash site. Use 200 words with your selected keywords to describe absolutely everything on that page.

    Include static graphics of those logos on that HTML page and use alt text with those keywords. Ex: "Logo-Design-Graphic-Metro1" or something like that.

    Repeat this for every flash page on your site. Also put internal links on all of these static HTML pages to each Flash page on the site.

    5) Create as many backlinks as humanly possible. Put something on your website that can be downloaded like mentioned already. But don't put a direct link to the download. Create a button or something that would require the user to visit the download page to be able to download the file. The higher the demand for this download, the more backlinks you are going to get from it. You could create a contest on a blog or something like that, which is only for people with blogs or sites that do not use the "no follow" setting.

    I am sure there are lots of other things you can try, but that is all I can think of for now. Hope it helps.

    The point was to have HTML pages that include all of the normal on page SEO that a Static HTML site would have. A lot of PHP applications use this strategy to make their software "SEO Optimized". Believe me if you do this you will get indexed a lot easier. If you have a chance, check out "X-Cart". It is an ecommerce PHP application that does this very well. If you don't want to spend any money, I believe "ZenCart" is very similar to "X-Cart", so it may have the same SEO strategies in place.

    Oh an once indexed, a user may click on the HTML link to get to that static page, but once they click on anything on that static page... providing you have setup the links to re-direct to their flash versions, they will be on the flash version of the site.
