Hi! I have new article and link directory, custom coded. www.bigsurf.info I need your expirience as a SEO analyst. What You suggest to change and what not. BTW. Site is in beta but all links and articles will remain if you entered it. Thanks to all!
Couple of really quick things, you have no alt attribute in your images, the alt attribute is useful both for SEO and perhaps more importantly accessibility without the alt attribute your image has no semantic meaning, for your title a good example would be. <img src="blahla" alt="Big Surf logo" Title="Big Surf SEO Friendly directory" /> Code (markup): Just like any other bits of code the alt and title attributes can be used to emphasis certain keywords. Number 2 is no H1/2/3 tags, these tags help the search engines define structure and importance, so its worth using these tags for all headings and subheadings. While its a limitation of the software try to avoid Tables they are a nightmare for accessibility and are designed for tabular data only.
Hi, Minimize the folder level as possible. If i have clicked "business" on your site the url is: http://www.bigsurf.info/directory/Business/Business-1.html instead of that keep http://www.bigsurf.info/directory/Business1.html because you are having unique URL's for all sub categories. so there is no need to keep a sepearte folder and you can increase the crawlability of search engines.

This is only URL rewrite, actualy that location is one click away. But it seems that it have some sense. I'll fix that, thanks for the tip.
