Hi, I am currently working on a big project of mine which has been online for around 5 months now. I know what i am doing in terms of SEO and am implementing this into the website as i am going along. My question is, would one of you kind experts have a quick look over the website and just see if there is anything i has misplaced or could do better. Again i know what i am doing, so no stupid replies from people who don't know what they are doing. born2entertain(dot)co(dot)uk Cheers, Adam
Well for starters you need to redirect your non-www url to your www url (and while you're at it you should do the same with your index.php page to your domain). Just looking at your DJ Mark Walsh page, I would have thought you'd want that in your disguised <h1> and not the oter stuff there?
Google love variation. Checking your source seeing that you not really implementing it and your title page. <title>Wedding Venues, Mobile Disco & DJ Hire, Event Organisers, Conference Venues, Casino Hire, Entertainment Directory - Born 2 Entertain</title> You can make a little tweak like using variation in your targeted keyword in every page of your site. Like your title ----> One Stop Entertainment | Born 2 Entertain Use your keyword in all your page. Make a variation.
Thank you for your pointers, seconnection: Can you elaborate a bit more please? john.ordos: I am a bit unsure on what you are saying here to be honest? Can you give me a bit more detail?
@seoconnection - why? unless there are pages on his site that he doesn't want the se to spider, in which case he'd use noindex or a robots.txt file. Google does not require us to use nofollow on your links, it's only used when we don't want our link "juice" passed on, such as in outbound links posted in blog comments.
Use of nofollow for pages like privacy, it stops PR going to pages you dont want ranked so you dont want to leak pr out of the page the link is on
@andyroo22 that is true, however it's not an seo strategy for getting good rankings.. what's the point of nofollow when you don't even have PR yet. You have to use these things when appropriate, not use every single technique at once simply because you read about it on some blog.
All of the comments above are good... So I'll add, CODE BLOAT. Question: If you had to reduce the number of characters used and keep the same functionality, what would do? How many SPACES instead of TABs? Do the links need to be hard coded or would it be better to use "<Base href>"
I don't exactly know what you are referring to when you mention code bloat in my code? Would this would this make that much of a difference in ranking?
Code Bloat is extra code on a page that is not needed. There is a concept call "Code To Text" ratio that seems to be very important with Google. By removing this unneeded code, this ratio will go up. If you remove the large amount of spaces in the HTML file, how much would that reduce the file size? If you remove the domain for all internal links, how much would that reduce the file size? This can go on for ever. The code to text ratio for competitive SEO pages starts around 37% and goes up. Just reduce the number of UN-NEEDED characters on the pages.
Your navigation is too general my friend... Think about the terms you'd like to have SERPs on, and according to that, make similar navigation keywords. Good luck.
