I launched a website for Property Management & Real Estate - MANTLO in November last year (2010)! I have had design reviews and worked hard on getting it crawled by numerous spiders and bots. This seems to be the case as I have some 21 spiders of which 5 visit daily! I have also greatly optimized loading speeds upto 92% according to Firefox page Speed plugin. Currently I appear on Page 3 of Google results with search words: property management Botswana. This is unacceptable as the other results are pertinent results for real estate in Botswana. Using Google Webmaster tools I see that there are no crawl errors. No broken links etc. My PR is still N/A... does anyone have some special hint to get better PR? I am trying hard to avoid link farms!!! Please help!
submit your site to many directories, social bookmarking, articles, forums <-- after you done you should get some PR. We notice few things in your site: 1) missing http://mantlo.com/sitemap.xml 2) http://mantlo.com/sitemap.txt 3) you need robots meta tag 4) you have H3 4 and 5 tags which is very good 5) there are few sites online to fine out loading time, image size+html size = total size of the site page (if you can not find it please let us know and we will help you) Thanks
If "property management Botswana" is your main targeted keyword, then build that entire phrase into your title, description and meta keyword. Also in your footer it shows: Mantlo 2010 linked to homepage Change that to your keyword as well. Another suggestion to improve SEO is to decide whether you want with or without 'www' accessing your site to avoid duplicated content. Last but not least, work on your backlinks especially to your keyword of choice. Try directory submission why is cheap.
Thanks Guys! @ cm2010: 1/ I have generate generated the two sitemaps...thanks for the tip - I noticed that there were other formats for site maps ex: http://mantlo.com/ror.xml 2/ Added the robots meta tag (index, follow) -> Is that OK? @daryllau 1/ Have submitted articles to some articles directories, as well as to Mantlo Property Management Botswana website. 2/ Thanks for the tip on the Copyright...thats done now! 3/ Removed all www.'s to avoid duplicates. 4/ Backlinks, thats another issue...hard to sneak in keywords referencing one's site...tried once and got a warning for a submitted article. @All, Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming. I will keep a lookout for my PR (hopefully it will change soon). Regards,
you web site doesn;t have friendly urls,i check your search page and details page it shows "detail.php?property=3" having a SEO friendly url always helps.
submit your site targeted country search engines and local directories, I have noticed that you did not optimized images of your website, Use alt tag with all images with your target keyword, Use footer for your target keyword, make new pages for it and put in footer with using Anchor text, Verify your website from Bing and Yahoo as well, You did not use H1, Use H1 .

Gotta google on how to make em S.E.F. @nit Green 1/ Submissions done 2/ alt tags done now (thanks for tip) 3/ Footer done, doesn't show up as anchor text though - strange 4/ H1 done for main heading 5/ ||Search Text | Search Engine | Rank|| ||Property Management Botswana | Bing, Yahoo | 1st page, 1st page (2nd!!!!)|| ||Real Estate Botswana | Bing, Yahoo | 2nd page, 2nd page||
