    Hello there

    In terms of CEO - what is wrong with loadmove.com ?

    I'm listed 1st on Yahoo.com for 'trucking'


    However nothing on Google.com and MSN, what else can I improve there?

    Thanks

    There's a lot of differing opinions about this but mine is....

    1. Your title is too long and doesn't need loadmove.com at the begining.

    2. Same with description take out the loadmove.com you'll get found for that by your url if that's why its there.

    3. Too many keywords - these aren't really even necessary although some engine do use them. Spead what you have here through out all you pages and only use about 8 to 10 key phrases

    3. put this as a <h1> tag (not a span) "Your complete resource for all your antique/old trucks."

    4. you need to put in what type of document this is at the top - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    those are a few things but I think in gerenal the page is good.

    A few question, are you sure I don't need the URL in every title?
    What do I do with the H1 so it won't be huge text but a small one can it be done in CSS or something?

    Yes. You can define the <H1> style in the css.

    Can I use the H1 tag for every category?

    like h1 category name /h1?


    will it be good for seo? and let's say wrap the h2 around the description of each category?

    need to improve ranking on google it's horrible :)

    Yes but don't repeat H1 tags like you say use a H2. Also you could try submitting a site map to google.

    Try to have the title of the page the same as your H1 tags too. Title tags are really important I really think you should drop the loadmove.com and structure them something like:

    <title>Truck products and services</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Products and services for trucking etc etc">
    then in the body

    <h1>Truck products and services</h1>

    <p>introductory paragraph with more product and services keywords</p>

    This is just a start...also make sure you don't have any spelling mistakes in your description tag which I noticed you have in the products and services page (Check out these radad detectors).

    The page looks really good and urls have been well mod rewritten...what is your serp for "antique trucks" in Google?
