Steve,
If it's not too much to ask, I could use some help with optimisation also?

Re: Question about Keywords

Let's not get too excited about SEOs. I just run my home pages through http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-...-analyzer.html and it told me I was committing cardinal sins on both home pages.

But I published my second site last Friday, and today typed 'Webmaster Productions' (without quotations) into Google and to my surprise was on page 1 at position 5 (out of 2.5m) results! Obviously I'm not turning Google off too much!

Whilst SEOs have their place, my advice is to take it with a pinch of salt, try various things and see what works.

Cheers
Trish

Re: Question about Keywords

With all due respect, 'webmaster productions' is not a keyphrase anybody is ever going to type, apart from the people who have just read your post! Your website is at number 2 in for this keyphrase because it is your url. I'm afraid that is not optmisation; although naming your url is important. A keyphrase relevant to your website would be 'websites for beginners,' or something like that. Optimisation is about cornering a keyword or phrase that will work. And it most certainly should not, as you say, 'be taken with a pinch of salt.'

Re: Question about Keywords

Carbon Terry,

I'm afraid my brief career as a seo advisory service has ended. It's too much like hard work! The best thing I can say is that you should pay great attention to on-page optimisation for MSN and Yahoo, and great attention to off-page optimisation for Google. It might also help to get a Google account, upload an xml sitemap, and validate your website with Google. Don't target keyphrases you won't be able to compete with, but aim for the niches you think will get you a few visitors. Make sure your site has lots of quality, and your visitors will come back. I also noticed that some of your pages load slowly due to an excess of images. You should perhaps read up on the 8 second rule.

As for that link to Axandra above, well... established in 1997, seo experts and a Page Rank of 0? Wow they must be good.

Having said all this, I'm no expert. If I was, I wouldn't be here now typing this. I'd be on a beach in the Bahamas being fanned by dusky maidens.

Re: Question about Keywords

Ditto on the dusky maidens....thanks for the advice.
I am at best a beginner at web work but an advanced graphics guy being a commercial photographer for lots of years.
Would you suggest fewer graphics on the index page? I really like my potential customers to see what I have to offer immediately. Possibly just my best seller as an image and changing the text/graphics to pure text using BV?
Thanks again

Re: Question about Keywords

(for the sake of clarity i would say it again SEO is not my cup of tea, cause it takes a long time and I dont have it, I prefer instant traffic from PPC)

I dont claim to be an seo expert, I am only sharing what I have found to work best for me in comparison to what I have tried and tested in the past when optimising my websites.

Thanks for sahring your views and criticism steve w.

with regard to page rank about axandra, never checked their page rank.

I agree 100% that "Optimisation is about cornering a keyword or phrase that will work"

I would add that if you find SEO exciting then a keyword that is "on demand" with less competition is what needs cornering if it is to work well!

and if so ........ how are going to find such keywords?

[gueorgui]

Re: Question about Keywords

........ how are you going to find such keywords with minimal costs on your budget? well axandra answers that question for me, so I recommend it if you like to drive traffic through the search engines


if you have a better way, I am keeping an open mind and would be glad to see it, learning never hurts:)
