For our site I am happy with the placement of our main keywords so far and they are getting better and we are getting visitors from them. But for our category and product pages we are getting NO keyword hits and they are not as high in the rankings as I think they should be. Can someone take a look at them and see if we are missing anything. Thanks very much.
add something like "buy coffee online" to your title on your main page.. that might help.. also, add more text to your individual product pages. that should keep you busy for a week or so.. there is more that you can do.. let me know if you want some help. i really don't think bolding text in your paragraphs makes a difference with spiders. i noticed that you did this in your descriptions. you are missing one really important thing that would make a huge difference....
your site has good enough on-site optimization, i would start to focus your time and budget on off-site optimization now. ideas: link building, google & yahoo sitemaps, blog, article distribution, press releases, post in forums (not for seo but i find it drives good traffic). good luck. some link exchanging can be good (minimal and keep it to ONLY excellent sites). i think linking OUT to a few authoritative sites can help also.
I have some, but they don't seem to be helping to much. I should check to se the PR's of the links. I am just getting up there in the rankings for keywords I have there and I they are good keywords. I don't want to mess with them right now and mess up the one thing that is working. That I can do, I was thinking they might be a bit short. Thanks. It is just the keywords, I don't think it hurts, I don't know if it helps though. The never ending process, I am always trying to add more quality inbound links. I post sometimes in coffee forums, I should spend more time there. Working on inbound links. I have a blog but I am sure there is more I can do with it. I have a couple of articles out there but haven't seen the results that I wanted so far, they are a work in progress I guess. I didn't know Yahoo had a site map also, I will have to get one up, thanks for the tip. I will add more text to the pages and also work on the inbound links. Also the yahoo site map. If anyone else has any ideas let me know. Thanks everyone, great help.
you have a blog? it isn't on the site though? if you like to blog (especially if it's related to coffee alot of times) you should have your blog integrated right onto your site. I would suggest making it a subdomain. You can even integrate your blog so it looks just like your site. AND you can also add an rss feed on your home page which will display the headlines of your blog on your homepage (fresh content!)
