    don't write seo copy that is good for rankings, write copy that is good for HUMAN READERS. getting traffic is EASY, getting quality traffic and making conversions is key. If you can make more conversions with LESS traffic, you're better off.

    Honestly speaking getting traffic is more difficult, but thanks for suggestions I am going to redesign the website so we can add more features like blog, forum, price tags, testimonials with proof etc etc. Will send url once everything done. Thanks,

    I guess you are right and the right term maybe should be information architecture and usability however, some of us really need simple words (and for many change of the architecture of the layout means modifying/changing the design). What I was indeed referring to is not changing the header design or the look of the sidebar, but rather how the main layout is presented and how the services should be highlighted.

    +Rep for Dan for using the correct term and -Rep for me :p

    A forum can be beneficial, but you might want to wait until you have a loyal following first. I'd probably start off with a writing blog instead and develop your loyal readership that way instead.

    If you do start a forum however, this thread will come in handy. I consider it to be required reading:

    By loyal I mean people who keep coming back for more, and recommending their friends and family to your site. In other words, people who like your site so much they can't stop coming to it even if it killed them.

    Your site looks like a typical one. Add some animation to your site, and some rotating content thats unique for each visitor. Add some attractive internal links so the visitor is busy moving within your site

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Few more questions :)
    a) Animation -- don't you think they are not seo friendly?
    b) Internal links means -- so that visitor can go from one page to other right?
    c) I know flash is not seo friendly.... what do you think about it?
    d) Any specific website url you recommend so that I can go and see

    Hope to get some positive response.

    Thanks again.

    Its up to you whether you put gif or flash, in short what i wanted to say is that people should find lots of things to look at and browse when they visit your homepage

    Your design is vey nice. The left navigation can be changed, that doesn't give a clear picture whats being written on the top. Also you can provide the content (At least the imp services u provide, and why u should be hired) in bulletin marks, bcoz people wont read such a long story to ind how valuable you are, they just need the important points.

    Get an ipb forum its feature rich and very easy to set up and use. Also I think your using the word Writing too much under your categorys list.

    Good luck, looks like a nice site.
