I run a blog which already tend to be very seo friendly. I have the Ultimate SEO Pack already installed, and google sitemaps. The only thing I don't have is an aged domain, so now im in the waiting process. I just want to know what you think about it, what I can improve, and if your advice is good: how can I help you? (maybe digg an article, click on something, etc). My site is in my sig (The Saltwater Report).
Whats the description of your site? meta name="description" content= You don't have the above meta tag within your source code. Well I didn't see it. Google loves descriptions. By the way, nice site - looks fresh and clean..
There is much room for improvements - no heading 1's, the keyword prominence is ok but could be improved, the keyword does not seem to appear close to the end of the document (should be included in first and last 50 of document). No meta description. You don't seem to be using bold keywords, underline etc. What about internal link structures for the relevant pages... overall I would say 5/10
You need to work on the page tags man.. you can lossing some good points with google and losing the oportinuty of having a great snippet. what about interlinking with page. I see you did good work with LSI (lattent semantic indexing) with your key words on the page tagsm but i still think you can add some more.
Thanks jean, and also everybody else for your advice, keep it coming if you find anything new. I just added the meta description, and added some keywords at the last 50 chars of my page. Now im working on the other stuff recommened.
age of your domain...believe me when i say this and i'm sure just about everyone out there will disagree with what i'm going to say but the longevity of your domain has little if at all to do with your organic ranking in yahoo. google's another story, much better imo...but yahoo's algorithm is a bit perplexed and confused on it's own. i've done a lot of seo research so i'm not throwin bull your way but having a 15+ year old domain ranked on the 2nd page and a site that has 3 months of life ranked on the 1st page off the same kw with 'site under construction' in it and 'your links go here' in it...makes no sense to me. also, the 15+ year old domain outgains the 3month site in every linking category, off page seo, you name it...it's not even close. there's no reason to yahoo's rythme right now...imo
the longevity of your domain has little if at all to do with your organic ranking in yahoo. actually it does have relevance...just not as much
dude is this in google or yahoo??? under construction??! thats scary and sounds bit strange.... do you mind PM me the keyword? there's no reason to yahoo's rythme right now...imo
