I'm looking for professional advices in optimizing one of my sites. http://www.advancebaggage.com “index.jsp†is the main page and all other pages are loaded through AJAX invocation. This helps a lot in loading pages faster and cutting down the bandwidth. Getting rid of AJAX is not an option. So I’d like to know pluses, minuses and challengers that I have to face when optimizing the only page “index.jsp†Since this is an e-commerce site, Page Rank is also important. What is the best way of “Getting to the top†of the search for selected set of two or three keywords? Thanks.
I may not be the right person to talk about web 2.0 technologies (more of a marketer I am), but I can sure give you some pointers. tonyadam[dot]com/blog/ajax-and-non-javascript-experiences-for-seo-friendly-websites/ and googlewebmastercentral.blogspot[dot]com/2007/11/spiders-view-of-web-20.html ** Please replace [dot] with . I am sure other members for this forum could provide you with detailed info.
Why is page rank important for an e-commerce site? Most of your customers won't be knowing what is Page Rank. To optimize your site, check your site through a text only browser. Or check the google cache text only version. This is how google see your site. So you can make the necessary changes for onpage SEO. But the key is to get continuous influx of quality, relevant backlinks to your site. -Neo
I tried loading the page and it took 10 seconds. I know that you said that getting rid of AJAX is not an option, but it doesn't seem to be working very well. Have you thought of using php includes for the common parts of the pages?
