    Well if anything you have keywords in your domain that is for sure.. lol.. domain is a bit long. And what you have working against you is that every John Doe that is new to the internet business somehow owns a payday advance loan website.. They are becoming a bit like the Viagra websites as they progress at spreading all over the net and being spammed in many peoples email.. So you have that working against you.. Over all what I am trying to say there is that you have a big market to compete with..

    My best advise is find out who is #1 in payday loan advances and then make yourself know more than they do and work that relevant information into your website.

    Your not missing any alt tags on the home page that is good.. Your meta title looks more like keyword phrases.. Probably not a good move on that one. Your meta description is super short and does not cover much. Try to offer a couple sentences including phrases in them that people might search for.

    About 8 of your 14 keywords or so are not relevant at all to what you are offering. If possible but it might not be you could try to offer links without query strings in them. Making that adjustment would only account for about 4% overall though if you ask me so you could let that one go.. Most people can not help what type of urls are produced because of their CMS.

    Your meta title has stop words in it like "Your,for,everything,us". These words that are considered "noise" by most search engines. You have a high number of meta keywords. Though most search engines put little to no weight on meta keywords anymore you should only have 10 or less.. You have 14 and as I mentioned many of them are irrelevant. Your site uses plenty of heading tags and that is good however most search engines will recognize too many H1 tags as spammy text.. You have 12 H1 tags and 8 H2 tags.

    You do not have a 301 redirect set in place. This means most search engines will see your site beginning with www and then without www as 2 different websites and in some cases assign different page ranks and stats amongst the two.. You can google 301 redirect methods to learn more about that.

    I hope this was a useful review for you.

    P.S. Also as an extra tip for you I believe Google only allows 3 instances of google ads per page as per their TOS.. You have exceeded that amount so be careful.. That does not have much to do with SEO other than getting on google's bad side..

    However what you do have going for you is since it is a blog the search engines will ignore some seo rules of thumb to an extent such as the H1 tags and broken links if any exist.

    Looks Okay. Lots of H1 tags, which is good.
