Hello Everyone, I have started a tutorial site. Please see this link. http://www.mastertutorialsonline.com/index.htm I want to know what more I can do to improve its ranking. Please tell. Thank You
Add outbound links to niche leading sites. This way google will recognize you as a tutorial site that is not a joke.
Now, I'm not trying to be mean - but I feel you need an honest answer. I'm not going to slap the rose coloured glasses on your head and pat you on the back - this is going to probably bring you either to tears, or throw you into full-on flame mode if you are the least bit sensitive about your 'work'. For starters if you are going to have a tutorial site about HTML/CSS, you should probably learn how to use them properly in a modern fashion on the website... That means valid markup, separation of presentation from content, proper use of caching models, and a whole host of other things nowhere to be found on the page. Nubes for whom any such tutorials might actually be of use will usually ask their buddy who does know this stuff (people like myself) "What do you think of this guy/site/tutorial". Someone asked me that question, the answer would be:"93 validation errors means it's not HTML, it's gibberish - the layout breaks on LF/120dpi, style and scripting are inlined in the markup, it's 90's style presentational markup, uses tables for layout, has HTML 3 in an HTML4 doctype, and claims to be a new page when it's in a tranny doctype on static content - there is NOTHING you can learn from this guy. I would advise steering as clear as possible from it." Seriously, the page would have been bleeding edge in 1997 - it's pure trash by modern coding standards. This is evident in there being over 18k of html for a mere 2k of actual content on the page - at most it should be a THIRD that in markup. From an SEO standpoint you DO have good copy - but that copy is hampered by a complete lack of semantic markup meaning the search engines won't know what's what, much less that the lack of semantics means the page falls apart on screen readers or for other alternative browsing methodologies. Not one heading tag to be found, paragraphs of text not in paragraph tags while you have non-paragraph elements in paragraphs, FONT tag, CENTER tag and a whole bunch of other rubbish that you aren't supposed to even use anymore in building sites, much less oddball tags like blockquote thrown in for little sensible reason... (even funnier when you HAVE quotes and they are NOT in blockquote or Q - Whiskey tango foxtrot?!?) If the website itself is indicative of the results of your CSS Tutorial, I would advise EVERYONE to steer as clear as possible of it... But then CSS without good markup is useless... I mean, you're hocking a CSS tutorial and you don't even have an external stylesheet? The CSS that is present begs the question why bother having CSS at all given the markup? Seriously, if you don't know what's wrong with: <TABLE id=table4 cellSpacing=0 width=245> <TBODY> <TR> <FORM name=form1 onsubmit="checkForm(this); return emailCheck();" action=savemail.php method=post> <TD width=103> <P class=box align=right><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" face=Arial><B>First Name:</B></FONT></P></TD> <TD width=4> </TD> <TD align=left width=138> <P align=center><INPUT style="WIDTH: 135px; HEIGHT: 22px" onchange=capitalizeMe(this) size=18 name=Name></P></TD></TR> Code (markup): then you need to forget everything you think you know about HTML/CSS and start over from scratch. Oh, and if you want actual conversions it helps to list the price BEFORE people click on the paypal link - in fact it should be the thing you are basically shoving in people's face.
