Congrats on your new site. The concept is nice and the look is great, but the desing from a code aspect needs some help.
cspelts brings up some good points and, as usual, offers great advice.
The site should be in a better state of repair before you worry about marketing too much in my opinion. In my opinion, your best marketing aspect at this point in the age of your site, is the site itself.
From a look, feel and concept perspective, your site looks nice. But you need to give yourself the best leg up possible through effective search engine optimization of the pages.
Your home page for starters:
The js in the top of the code will prevent many search engine bots from effectively crawling your site.
Your title should be something descriptive of your site, not your site title. Also, it should be the first element under <head>.
You should try to validate your code. IMO,
W3C is the best source for this. (FYI - changing all "&" to "&" will reduce the majority of your 50+ errors). Also, you should check the "show outline" option when validating your pages; you'll see that your page has no outline, which is accomplished using appropriate instances of headings h1, h2, h3 etc.
I don't think you need these meta tags:
Quote:
<meta name="allow-search" content="yes">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="14 days">
<meta name="audience" content="all">
<meta name="robots" content="all, index, follow">
<meta name="Rating" content="General">
<meta name="Language" content="en">
<meta name="distribution" content="Global">
<meta name="Classification" content="Community">
<meta name="Author" content="iforgive.com">
|
If you're sure that you need to define language, simply combine it with your html tag:
<html lang="en">
You could help youself a little more with effective descriptive use of alt-text, table ids and table summaries where appropriate.
When you site code and page content gets you effective and organic search engine rankings, you'll find your website doing most of the marketing for you. Beyond that, other sites and webmasters will be eager to link to and with you as a result.
Good Luck and Happy Ranking.
