hello, I'm working on a site in my sig. The site has pr4 and about 60-80 daily visits. It's in top 10 on all search engines for major keywords. Is there something else you think I can add/change to improve the site. Thanks in advance
Site looks good. The only thing I can say is that you dont seem to have any heading tags (H1,H2 etc). Most people would say for SEO they are important but if you are ranking in top 10 then are you looking for a higher position or more traffic? Your meta description doesnt look great from a customer point of view. Quite a lot of search engines will display the meta description under your title in the serps, I am from UK so maybe its just me but the meta description should really inspire confidence in you and your service. Only thing is that as you are ranking well any changes could have a negative effect!!!! Overall good looking site with lots of content.
Thanks for your response. We are looking for more traffic. Meta description mainly created for major keywords.
the site is very good, looks great.if you can add more,such as short titles at right, would be better.
Just a couple of things ... When I view the site in FF the scrolling region at the bottom of the page, doesn't, the content just spills out obliterating the footer. Your banner image doesn't load? Tried this on both FF and IE6 and got the same results. The home page doesn't validate against the W3C validator (55 errors). Consider using some sort of image replacement technique on your menu bar ie if I browse without images then the menu is useless as I can't see any text, use some text links rather then images for your menu bar links or style the menu using CSS.
On the left side column under about us and all of that, the background image repeats both x & y when it should only repeat x, and you need to go to a solid color for the rest of the y background. I have a feeling this was a template and there was only meant to be a few sentences in there? It just looks funny that the image repeats from dark to light. I would make the images in the right hand column clickable because they are very misleading as they appear to have a link attached because of the arrow, but they do nothing. I am talking about the ones labeled services, residential, commercial. Update the year in the footer, and maybe you can hide your links that are in the footer "1,2,3.. etc" It says they are your "partners" but I have a feeling this is for the search engine optimization, yes? There seems to be keywords scattered across the site that aren't very well hidden, but really don't have any business being visible on the site. If you are worried about getting a higher page rank, you could always think about switching over to CSS if you are up to re-writing the site. There are many advantages to CSS, although tables have some advantages also. One of the advantages is that there is less code, and many search engines reward you for that, and can pick out more keywords. You can also order the html differently using CSS so that search engines pick up on the more important content. Side note: Most search engines will assume that the most important text is in tags like <h1> and are at the top of the page. The further you go down the less likely it is that the search engine will pick up on it. Among other benefits of CSS is that it will render much faster in browsers, as a browser waits until the entire table is loaded before it displays any content. CSS will start showing the content right away whether all of it is loaded or not. It also often reduces code which not only makes for a smaller file, it makes for a faster transfer to the user. CSS also has the ability to easily hide text for those keywords you slipped in there so cleverly. Also, if the site is ever updated, it will be much easier to come back too to edit as all of the formatting is off in another page. You don't have to sift through lines and lines of code just to find content. Not only does it make editing content easier, but making system wide layout changes is a breeze without having to go back to edit each individual page. Btw, why do you have the bot revisit after 1 day? This is a ancient meta tag that really does nothing now. Google has some very smart bots, they crawl your site for the first few days to see if your content ever changes, and when it notices that your content for the most part stays the same, it doesn't spend the time to visit everyday, probably more like once a week, if not less. That piece of meta is outdated, I suggest you just get rid of it. Another pointless meta tag is generator... that is meant to display the publishing tool you used, all search engines will ignore it. You changed it to the companies email and that does nothing seo wise. And yet again, another pointless meta tag, 'language' is set to English by default for almost all search engines, and again, most will ignore it unless given something other than English. You really went overboard on these meta tags, while some do help with the search engine optimization aspect, many also do nothing and have become outdated. Take for example your 'robot' meta tag. I know a lot of search engines will ignore this and go straight for the robots.txt file on your server, which gives you more control. You could also modify your HTaccess file, but the robots.txt is easier... This brings me to my last pointless meta tag... 'resource-type' this is another outdated technique, it has however been updated by the use of DTD Declaration (aka doctype). I would also link to include style sheets and javascript instead of having them embedded into the html. <title>E-Z Moving Company, Local Movers Salt Lake City Utah, moving services in UT</title> <meta name="resource-type" content="document"> <meta name="description" content="Salt Lake City professional movers.

I realize you probably won't take any advice that I just gave you since you are happy with your page rank and such, but removing any of that is not going to hurt it, only keeping the page a little more up to date. If you don't believe anything I said feel free to google it, and correct me if I stated something wrong.
Yes you want your keywords in the description but generally the description is what people read in the serps before they click on your link. If it reads well to customers then they will come to your site, if they just read keywords then its not as appealing.
Very nice site, looks great and try placing your site it multiple content related directories and forums and you'll get much more traffic and try to stay active in those forums.
