    Maybe it's just me, but seeing that Adsense ad on a site selling webhosting services is kinda odd. Makes you look kind of unprofessional to me. Godaddy, Nexcess, none of them uses such third-party ads. Should you be doing it? I don't know, I guess it's just a personal thing. I wouldn't feel confident with signing up with someone hedging his bets with an Adsense ads. /shrug

    You really need to have some text for the engines to index you. I've heard recently that alt tags are not pulling nearly the results as the once did.

    There is absolutely nothing to comment on SEO part - I am sorry to be blunt - the site design is pleasing - but no way we can call it SEO friendly.

    You don't need these tags:
    <meta name="author" content="vebservices">
    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
    <meta name="language" content="EN">
    <meta name="copyright" content="vebservices.net">
    <meta name="rating" content="general">


    Please make sure that you remove the images with some text - develop a cool navigation with "text" links.

    Then you post again - you might get some good responses.

    Regards,
    Sudha.

    You realy need some more text. Some of the text on the images is not ver readable. Accesibility on your site is non-existent.

    Is there any reason why the text is on images?

    guest, from SEO point of view, you'd have trouble using almost no text. Alt is not good enough.

    however, from design point of view, it's a nice looking site and i love it... it's just a pity because a site that's pleasing to the eye may not necessarily be pleasing to the robots ..

    IMHO, you'd need to put more text as content .. alt may be insufficent ( you can see all the comments above .. they are saying the same thing)

    long loading time...
    but nice info on the first page..still there is a waste of space... (1600x1200) but that might be my fault, I am always thinking that ppl should use a grey backgound, to blend with the other background... and to bad it doesn't do it here...
    other than that, good work..

    Guest, you must be gutted. You must have worked hard to get the look you want and then basically everybody is telling you that it will never work. I agree with all the previous posts. You need text on your homepage. You can combine images with text in a way that will work using CSS instead of making the text part of the graphics. Though I know it can be done, I am not able to tell you how. Check out csszengarden.com for some major inspiration.

    I love the design. I would say this:

    -More Text (would really help out)
    -Different Font (kinda hard on the eyes

    Those are the two most major things everything else looks ok in my opionion.

    Nice site

    It's a shame Google doesn't take meta tags. I absolutely love your site, but I think the perevious posters have a good point.

    For online SEO, it looks like it's not very good, as you don't have any content to optimize!
    But one of the most important thing is off line SEO (links...) so you should work on this first, and try to add some text on your site.

    Off topic : on a marketing point of view, what is your target? The technical details have a large impact, and your offer on the right side is...on the side. It may be the most important thing to make people catch yout offers. I would have put the 3 offers right in the middle and the technical details on the right.

    My 3 cents

    It's been a while since the first design so I don't remember it in detail other than there was little or no content for the search engines to play with. I'd take a wild guess and say that the phrase low cost web site host is the main phrase you are targetting for as it is repeated 9 times exactly like that on the home page alone.

    You might want to run the Wordtracker trial and use the digital point keyword suggestions tool and the overture tool to find a variety of phrases. discount hosting and cheap hosting are two that spring to mind, but people want to be assured that even if they are paying peanuts for their hosting service that they are receiving a quality service so think about words like value and quality too.

    You have to make your text read naturally and repeating the same phrase over and over does not go down well with real people or search engine spiders.

    I'd second e10s view and say that the phrase "low cost web site host" stands out a little too much. you also may want to take a look at shawns keyword tool (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/?keywords=low+cost+web+site+host&country=us) or http://nichebot.com to find another phrase - this one looks a little, um, competitive.

    Good luck!
