Please review my new site

I launched my new site in January, the articles are ranking in Google but not the main pages. MSN is ranking the homepage, but nothing else. Yahoo is not ranking anything and won't even index the site. The url is http://www.financenewstoday.com the backlinks are 13200 in Yahoo and 17684 in MSN and 1380 in Google.

Can you guys and gals give me some insite to what you think about the site and what if anything I should change

 

I like the site. Good setup with a lot of good images. Good luck!

 

how do you edit your signature?

 

you have to have more than 10 posts i think.

 

ah ok thanks

 

i like the design. nice layout. good luck.

 

professional website.

 

Thanks everyone. Anyone got an idea why the rankings are not improving? Is it just time?

i like how youve blended the yahoo ads at the bottom, im using a similar method for one of my new websites

 

Did you use photoshop for the top image? Might want to save it at a little higher quality setting. The edges look a bit smudged. If it's a finance site, I think things like investing should be first, instead of insurance. Unless that's your target of course.

Other than that, it has a good layout and good name.

Good luck!

 

Anyone else have any thoughts on the layout and SEO used? I am getting concerned as to why Yahoo is not ranking the site yet.

 

I am very impressed. It looks really good.

 

Looks good..But nothing special !

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback, but I am still looking for info to improve the site and SEO of the site. Any thoughts as to why Yahoo is responding so slowly.

 

Your site looks professional. Try adding this to the end of your meta tag I use it on all my sites and havent had an issue with yahoo.

Hello

Your website design, layout and content quality is pretty good. I think what is letting your down is the structure of your html code. If you the view the source of your website you will notice how your core content (i.e the body text from your center column) is very far down the page. Typically, search engines extract their keywords from the upper parts of your code.

When I design websites, I structure my code as follows:

- Content
- Left Column
- Right Column
- Header
- Footer

You can then use CSS to display the section in their correct in its correct position. In doing so, the users notices nothing different, but when a search engine looks at your page, the first thing it will see is your central content.

The use of <div> tags is also preferential to the use of <table> tags when positioning content.

You might like to research this as a way of improving your search engine ranking. A google search for "CSS 3 Column Layout" should get you started.

Good Luck!
