Quick SEO Question

    I have been doing a lot of work with URLs and such so that I can rank higher on Google Search Results. I have created a few different Google Sitemap Generators that have done little for me in terms of search results. When I type in "www.mywebsitesname.com" in the google box it only returns the reviews for the 8 websites that were on the frontpage at the time. What can I do from your perspective to increase my SEO on ReviewPage.com?

    Thanks!

    Make good use of h1 tags and alt image text, I don't see much of it going on in your homepage, on-page SEO is very important.

    Don't forget off-site optimisation. You must have good quality sites linking to yours with the right anchor text.

    Don't put to much on SITE-MAPS, they are only a tool to assist the google boot scanning ur website and are not a factore for SEO.

    As mentioned above, u've got quite a work on the structure and i might add on content.

    I agree, a sitemap may help you get your pages indexed quicker, but it wont help them rank better.

    For generic review type of sites like yours, you will need a hell lot of quality content first..
    And secondly, each of the review pages, and review category pages needs inbound links.. say 3-4 links on each page you generate...


    One more thing.. Not SEO exacyly, but on the design..

    The Icon/banner on homepage and the user registration box are very out of place... See if you can have a better design..

    It covering the blue nav bar looks very ugly..

    Thank you for the replies, but what I mean is, what can I do to make all of the reviews and pages on my site indexed. It seems that only the reviews that are listed on the front page and the links on the front page are getting indexed in google. Any advice?

    Exactly, unless those pages have individual links, it takes some time...

    All a site map does is help the spider navigate your site hence indexing more (or all) pages, no other SEO benefit can be attributed to it.
