Wordpress Custom Website Design & SEO

thread moved

 

Maybe you would get more clients in the services forums of the buy & sell.

 

I strongly suggest you learn how to write valid HTML before even thinking about offering SEO services. With 136 validation errors on the "Virtual Kobe" site alone, it really makes me doubt you have the skills necessary to do this.

Please don't take offense at what I just said, instead consider it as a nudge to get you in the right direction.

Write valid HTML (or XHTML), separate your structure and content from the presentation and behavior as much as possible. Use the bare minimum of markup necessary to get the job done (meaning actually following the proper document flow order, and coding structurally rather than presentationally), make your sites accessible and usable to people with disabilities, impairments and non-traditional browsing devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, screen readers, aural readers and projectors. Obey the laws of HTML semantics (very important).

Then write quality unique content that people will want to link to and recommend to everyone they know. At that point, then submit the site to the three major search engines/Web directories (Google, Yahoo, MSN, which currently has about 95% of the market right now) and promote the hell out of your site both online and offline.

Don't hide your links (they'll get you banned from the search engines), don't mask content from the people who will be visiting your sites (for "SEO purposes" - another thing that will get you perma-banned in a heartbeat), and most importantly, PUT YOUR SITE VISITORS FIRST.

 

Dan,

I appreciate your feedback....I dont believe your post has much to do with my website development offer using wordpress, plugins that come with wordpress, (including an all in one seo plugin), etc....In no ways do i not agree with you...but this is not the SEO section and I am not offering professional SEO services or HTML writing courses.....again, it is site development with basic SEO with involves meta keyword and meta description for all pages....i will do the keyword search as well if requested....thats it....if the site owner wishes to take the steps you mention in continuing to enhance the seo for their sites....then obviously that is something that should be done...but i am not offering that ......i leave that for the pros like yourself.......
