Hi, I would really like some quality input on my onpage SEO for my site. The site is www.webtwist-design.com I paid someone to do the onpage SEO, not because I can't do it myself but I haven't been very successful. At the moment I see more than a few errors in the work that has been done to my site. I have more than one h1 tag. Meta description is too long etc. I would love some input. Do you think it's optimized correctly ?
u have done good work but u need to do proper optimization means your keyword dont like that much competiive, u like to target your local area first then u should target globally
Hi webtwist.... We can do as per your requirement in short time, as we have experts for that. If you are still interested PM me.
Decrease the character length of your site home page title. According to Google guidelines title must be less then 70 character or 2 to 3 keywords.
I believe that your SEO results can be checked through doing search for the keywords you used for the task for the SEO. I believe that should make you happy
you have h1 tags in the footer, there is no need for this, your keyword falsh design is very competitive, so consider adding a locality to your keyword phrase
I'm sorry. Don't take offense. But I had to chuckle when I checked out your site. <rant-on> First of all... your home page's <title> element has a value of "Flash Design | Flash Web Design | Best Flash Design" yet your home page is HTML. Now that is funny... As a potential customer, WTH would I pay you to develop me a flash site when you don't really even practice what you preach on your own site? (yes... I found the http://www.webtwist-design.com/indexflash.html portfolio page. More on that later) Why is your home page not flash? That was actually a rhetorical question... Because flash blows @$$ if you want your site to ever be found in the search engines for pretty much anything other than a search for your domain name... You can say, "Well Google, Yahoo, and others have been given the cracker jack decoder ring by Adobe recently and can now read/index Flash pages"... Unfortunately, straight from Cutts' mouth at Pubcon this past Nov... (paraphrased) It will be years before the engines are any good at indexing Flash sites, and the same content in HTML format will ALWAYS outrank the same content in flash. Personally, I think Flash was created so that designers used to working with print media would have something to do on the web. I know as a designer it's probably fun, cool, whatever... but it is not functional if you want to be found via organic search. Flash has its place for things that can't be done in HTML, but IMO you should NEVER build a site in flash unless you don't care about every being found in the SERPs. Second... Why would you mention the words "Flash Design" and SEO on the same page? Those words are like polar opposites. And I find it quite ironic that you have an SEO Tools page on your Flash Design site and then have to pay an SEO to try to help your site rank? I probably know the answer to that... Like every SEM and web design site on the web, you have to give the impression that you know something about SEO in order to compete... but 9 times out of 10 those companies know no more about SEO than one could learn trolling the forums here or at webmasterworld.com for a couple hours... </rant-off> That being said... Here's what I see wrong from an SEO perspective. GENERAL OBSERVERATIONS: You have very little content on your site. If it were not for your blog you'd have almost NO content. You have no real navigation structure which is a terrible user experience and poor web design. It should be obvious on every page how to move about your site. No two pages have the same type of navigation... some have none. The overall "look" of the site is not that professional. If you want to rank for "Flash design" and "web design" get work doing Flash and web design, you should WOW people with your Flash and web design skills. Would you hire an architect to build you a nice house if they lived in a shack? There is no consistante look and feel across the site. HOME PAGE: <title> Element: From the looks of the home page, you want the home page to rank for the terms "Flash Design", "Flash Web Design", and "Best Flash Design". <meta name="description"> Element: Your description says, "Webtwist Design is one of the leading Innovative Flash design, graphic design, Web Design, E-learning and Animation studios in the business." The length is fine... 140 characters... Yahoo! will display about 145... Google about 150. If possible it should contain all of the keywords/keywords phrases from the <title> if you want Google to show it as your snippet. Otherwise they will construct a snippet from your content. You talk about graphic design, e-learning, and animation studios yet I see no pages on your site dedicated to these topics. Might consider adding a page for each (including a page dedicated to Web Design. It would give you more content on your site and you can develop a page dedicated to each topic which will improve your chances of ranking for those keywords. <h1> Element: As others have indicated, you have multiple <h1>s. You should have a single <h1>, but can have as many <h2>...<h6> tags as you please. Content: As I mentioned before, your home page has almost no content. What little content appears on the home page seems very spammy... Kind of like "I love football. Football is my life. I love to play football on the football field... with... a football." Practically every sentence has "Flash Design" in it. Links/Navigation: As I mentioned above, there is no clear navigation on your home page in the eyes of the user or the spider... No two pages on your site have the same navigation. Poor web design even from a user perspective. You are wasting PR by having 4 links to the Portfolio page on your home page. Why spam links to that page? Are you trying to tell Google you want them to index your portfolio page? One link on your home page is all you need. That Portfolio page is not going to rank... Here is what the search engine sees... http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache...+site:webtwist-design.com&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1. You are passing 4x the PR to that Flash page that has zero content on it (there is even no text INSIDE the Flash) than you pass to the blog and SEO (cough) page which have most of your site's content. You'd be better served having 1 link to the Portfolio Flash page and 4 to the blog and 4 to the SEO page. Obviously, your SEO is not familiar with the importance of varying link text... IF you insist on spamming multiple links on your home page to a single page, you should use keyword phrases from the <title> element of the page you are linking to and try to vary the link text each time. You have 2 links with "Flash Design" and 2 links with "Portfolio". Unfortunately the page your are linking to (Porfolio) has a TERRIBLE <title> element... more on that later. PORTFOLIO PAGE: In general this page is only going to rank because of the link text of inbound links. Having a few links on your site pointing here is not really going to do much if anything. BTW The music is annoying... Should have an OBVIOUS way to disable once the Flash renders. Took me several times of looking at the page before I even noticed the volume control there. Label it. <title> Element: Your <title> element is Terrible... It should focus on 1 (maybe 2-3) keyword phrase. You need to decide what you want it to rank for and target that keyword in the <title>. But it is probably all for nothing anyway as the Flash is not going to help you rank unless there is lots of content inside the Flash with the keyword phrase or variations from the <title>. Content: There is ZERO content on the page... because it's Flash and your Flash contains nothing but images... NO TEXT. Links: There is ZERO navigation on the page back to the home page or over to the blog. Every page on your site should have the same "global" navigation. BLOG: Looks like a totally different site from the rest. URL: Why not just http://www.webtwist-design.com/blog/? It's easier for users to remember and what you have looks spammy. You only need "webtwist-design" in the URL once. Adding it a second time serves no purpose. <title> Element: Again, TERRIBLE <title> elements on your posts. It serves no purpose adding "| Webtwist Designs" to all of your post <title> elements. It only dilutes the other keywords ("title" of post) in the <title> element and makes it less likely to rank for keywords related to the topic of the post. Links: No navigation back to the 'real' site other than chopping /webtwist-design-blog/* off of the URL. Again terrible user experience and bad for the spiders. SEO TOOLS PAGE Don't really know why this is here. The tools really aren't that useful at all. <title> Element: Haveing "Webtwist's Design" in the title is actually hurting the page's ability to rank for SEO Tools or Webmaster Tools. <h1> Element: You don't have one... EVERY page should have 1 <h1>. Links: If you're going to use images for your navigation (terrible idea IMO from an SEO perspective) then at LEAST include an ALT attribute with the link text containing a keyword phrase from the <title> element of the target page. Hope that helps.
Wooow Canonical million thanks for all the great inputs. It was with mixed emotions I read your post but you definitely gave me what I asked for and on top of that a website review can it get any better Like I mentioned I paid someone here on DP 30$ to do my onpage optimization. I personally think it was a poor job and the person probably only took 2 minutes out of his schedule to complete this task. I know the seo tools ain't very good. It's the usual iwebtools that you see so often and I actually pay a fee each month to be able to have them on my site. I have been thinking about skipping them all. The blog and seo tools is mostly made out of desperation since I've been reading that google loves content and as you say yourself my site lacks content and before I had my flash site and only my flash site. The html page is made again because of google's lack of indexing swfs. I will give you rep+ for your great help and insight. Maybe you could pm with an offer on onpage SEO because I know I need it.
