There are really three steps to getting found in the search engines.

1. Carefully pick your keyword phrase. You need words that describe the page and which people will type into search engines when they are looking for the page.

2. These terms need to be used in the title of the page and in headings and content on the page. In your case you have no Title at all.

3. And this is the most important step. You need to get people to put up links to the site and use your keywords as anchor text. Anchor text is what you see to click on. In the old days this was "Click Here". But to please the search engines it need to be you most important keyword.

BTW if you don't have any links from other web sites pointing to your site Google will not index it even if you submit the site to them.

 

Hmmmm...I'll go further than compar and say that you really are playing with fire here

Frames?

You need to know what you are doing if you are going to be found - and you have zero in your noframes!!!

This site does not need frames - I would strongly recommend to "unframe" it unless you feel very strongly about it in which case you have a steep learning curve on search engines and frames!

 

No One has mentioned that there is not a single piece of textual content on this site, it is 100% graphics, even the text is a graphic.

In short, unless it is the lowest of the low in competition, and then it will be for a search term that brings no traffic. This site is a complete non starter and that is after doing some basic seo (sorry I know that is not what you need to hear).

That said, you can always google bomb your way to the top if the phrase is weak enough in competition, but it is hardly a basis for long term success, and from a usability POV, yuch

 

Yes the site is really very bad. It's too bad because I think the product idea has great potential, but whoever designed the site really doesn't have any idea of the necessities of an ecommerce site.

Without a major rewrite and a lot of hard work this site will never succeed as part of an Internet marketing effort.

 

Have you found something that validates this theory? I had a discussion w/Shawn on this forum a couple weeks back on this topic, and am relatively sure a site that I did disproved this theory.

Can

 

No I don't have anything to absolutely prove this. But my understanding is that even if you submit a site to Google, and they index it on that basis, if you don't have at least one backlink they will then drop the site from their index.

It is on this theory that we put up a link from our corporate web site to every site we host. I can't prove that this is necessary, but I can tell you this, we never ever submit to Google, but every site we host is picked up very very quickly from our "sites we host" links.

Why would anyone want to publish a site, or even a page, without any links. What would that prove? And how would anyone else in the world find it?

 

I did the site for them as a favor, they use print and word of mouth to drive traffic to their site. It's a "hobby" business, they just do for the enjoyment. I wasn't trying to prove anything, and never even thought about it (the site having no links) until I saw something about the Google submit being worthless.

I've since helped them with a couple links, so it's not an issue. Just more curious than anything about how worthwhile the Google (or any SE for that matter) submit function is.

 

The Google submit function is totally useless in my mind. If you can get a link from one semi popular site you will get indexed faster via the link than via the submission. So why bother.

 

Yep me too, I have had pages go into google, get spidered, go to number one, then pop out as there were no backlinks. With the backlinks in place and followed by google (confirmed from referrers) the site comes right back in at the next update.

I really don't see the point of the submit button, although if you take the time to read the notes for webmasters etc, Google tell you to get links.

 

Either that or we could start a new conspiracy theory that has Google in league with all the SEOs out there who are still telling their clients that regular submission is necessary and them charging them for doing it.

 

Oh good one!
