Hi,

Here is your homepage source header part which needs to be correct it as search engine friendly

<head>
<!-- Welcome to my source, feel free to ponder for learning purposes but all content is copyrighted. Don't fret, if you like my designs contact me for a quote. For those who don't to credit designer like me, I am in the process of designing a site for free templates and scripts.
                                                                                -->
                                                                                
<!--[if lte IE 6]>

<style type="text/css">
body {
        behavior:url("includes/csshover.htc");
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="total.css" media="screen" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Total Development, professional web design and development by designer Alex Perry."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Web, Design, Development, PHP, HTML, CSS, professional, freelance, Web-Designer, designer, developer, alexgeek,"/>

Needs to place like this

Code: Select all

<head>
<title>Total Development</title>
<meta name="description" content="Total Development, professional web design and development by designer Alex Perry."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Web, Design, Development, PHP, HTML, CSS, professional, freelance, Web-Designer, designer, developer, alexgeek,"/>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" / ><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="total.css" media="screen" />
<style type="text/css">
body {
        behavior:url("includes/csshover.htc");
}
</style>
<script  type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</script>
<body onload="MM_preloadImages('total/header.png')">

This is the proper way to place the codes on the web page. So that search engine crawls and your web page should notice and caches.

Regards,

Done that

Thank you.
anything else?

seowebdesigner · #4 Sep 6th, 2007, 07:26

If you are using any JavaScript call it from external file like we call the Stylesheets.

I seen after clicking your website navigations it goes to folder sort of you have done on the url address bar....

like this
http://total-development.com/Contact

If it can be in name format like http://total-development.com/Contact...velopment.html more beneficial for your website.

Rest your site doesn't have anything to put coz less content and no more pages....

Regards,

Alex, your site lacks content!

You are competing for the most competitive keywords, (I presume, web development)... you are up against the big boys - including webforumz.com

You need to thinkj long and hard about some good content for the site... each page is around 300 words short of what I would personally class as a minumum.

I don't think he has completed it cause I pm'd him to say I don't recommend submitting it to the WOTM until it is complete and he said Ok then which I took as it wasnt complete.

alexgeek · #7 Sep 6th, 2007, 17:31

thanks for the input.
gunna have to think long and hard about content without being repetitive

will changing, contact to contact-total-development make a lot of difference?
i'll do it anyway.

Don't forget about images
You should always describe your image in the alt attribute. The alt attribute is what describes your image to a blind web user. Guess what? Search engines can’t see images so your alt attribute is a factor in illustrating what your page is relevant for.

I think for increasing site traffic you should do link building...try it.

avvy · #10 Jul 8th, 2008, 23:32

link building means directory submission, article posting, forum posting and exchanging links to a reputable and related site.
