    The site is graphically pleasing - But there are a few things . If handbags is your target keyword it is used way to much. I use WebCEO on my sites so I ran the optimization tool on yours and here is what it says

    <TITLE> tag

    1. Your keyword appears too many times in the Title tag! It shouldn't appear more than three times in your Title while it appears 4 times. Leave no more than three occurrences of your keyword in the Title tag.

    META Description

    1. The META Description tag is missing! This tag is not so important as it used to be, however a lot of search engines display it as your page description in search results. So you must make sure your page has a meaningful and good-looking description. If it is irrelevant or unappealing, search engine users will not click on your listings.


    2. <BODY> area:
    Visible text

    1. Your keyword appears too many times on this page! It shouldn't appear more than 11 times while Web CEO found it 84 times. It looks like stuffing your page with keywords and provokes anti-spam filters. If possible, remove some keywords from the visible area of your page.

    2. Your keyword weight is too high! This can be considered as spam by a search engine, so your search engine rankings can be significantly lowered as a result. Keyword weight mustn't exceed the value of 10 percent, while with your page it states 17.5% %. Try to decrease the weight of the keyword, so its value ranges from 1 to 10. Try to keep in mind the possibility to use different word forms of your keywords. While ranking, the search engines consider not only the direct match of the keyword, but also its various alterations. For instance, for the query like "web hosting" the search engine will take into account the occurrences of such words as "host", "hosting", "webhosts" etc on your pages. In addition, the modification of your keyword makes the content more user-firendly, so your page doesn't look like a readability puzzle stuffed with one and the same keyphrase.

    First heading on the page (H1-H6)

    1. Your page either has no <H1> headings, or has no text in the first heading on the page! It is really important that you put your keyword in one of these headings. We also recommend that you put an <H1> heading as close to the beginning of your page as possible. The search engines traditionally consider the text in the headings essential, and having your keyword there will positively influence your website overall optimality

    Text in links including ALTs

    1. Your keyword too often appears in the ALT / TITLE attributes of text and graphical links on this page! It shouldn't appear more than 6 times while it actually appears 63 times. Remove your keyword from some text links with your favorite HTML editor.

    ALT image attributes

    1. Your keyword is not present in the first 3 ALT image attributes on your page! Put your keyword in one of these ALTs as they are considered more important than the rest of ALTs on your page.

    2. Your keyword frequency in ALT image attributes is too low! Your keyword should appear 1 to 3 times in ALTs on this page while it is found 0 time(s). You can easily adjust the count to this number with your favorite HTML editor.

    This program has worked very well for me and others in the industry so I trust the advice.

    Thanks
    Tina

    Interesting Cooments. First of all how did u said that there is no description tag. And 2nd thing is that google give importance to description but not the keywords tag. Alt tags are a thing of past from SEO point of view. However from user point of view its good to have alt tags. Secondly i have intentionally repeated the targetted keyword in the text 2-3 times and not more than that. And if u r saying that Handbags keywords is stuffed here its only because its a handbags directory and i have a made pages for every handbags so in navigation i have to put entire product navigation from user point of view its not for stuffing at all. Going by ur way how come directories come in top listing. Go through any of the major business directories and run ur so called WEBCEO software u will see that by ur way they use more stuffing than me. The thing is that it is not stuffing, directories are made that way. If u are having a page having a listing of manufacturers of handbags than will u put handbags 3 times only? Its hold no logic.

    Although i agree that in Title tag i have overused keywords in some pages.

    It will be interesting to have other SEOs commenting on that.
