I look forward to your response!

All done and e-mailed, please post back

Thanks ctabuk,

I’ve used ibp for over a year but haven’t renewed it for a couple of months so my index is slightly out of date.

I have a question though The thing about tools is no matter how good they are it’s the person using them that counts.

Eg. Give me a hammer, chisel and a huge stone and you’ll get a piece of stone with lumps knocked out of it - not a sculpture ><

One thing I’m unsure of is “powered by people” tag line, I think it’s catchy and descriptive but “powered” “people” and “powered by people” are not what I think people generally search for.

So in your opinion what would you say my keywords are/should be for my site?

Ideally my listing would start something like this:

VotedTop Website Charts
VotedTop Website Charts- Where you decide what the best websites are,
with one click instant voting – You have the Power to make this
the best place to find the top web sites
www.votedtop.com/

VotedTop Business Website Charts
Business websites Voted Top with our ‘One Click’ voting system.
Find the Best Business web sites chosen by the public Not a paid editor.
www.votedtop.com/category/Business

VotedTop Games Website Charts
Games websites Voted Top with our ‘One Click’ voting system.
Find the Best Games web sites chosen by the public Not a paid editor.
www.votedtop.com/category/Games

VotedTop Shopping Website Charts
Shopping websites Voted Top with our ‘One Click’ voting system.
Find the Best Shopping web sites chosen by the public Not a paid editor.
www.votedtop.com/category/Shopping

So when people search for “Best Business site” or “top game site” or “best websites” “business web sites” I would be in the list.

Or have I got the key words/phrases wrong what do you think? Do I need to change something?

I’ve only been going a week or so perhaps I’m jumping the gun?

Any advice is greatly appreciated mate.

PS I live just across the river from you in Snaith south of Selby !!

Not easy to reply on, you can only use the expression 'Best Websites' so often. I suppose if you created different pages for Best Motor Websites etc etc and optimised each one on it's own that could help. You need links, but I guess you know that. Yes, that is IBL 9 the very latest system, it's a good indicator and it's helped a few people here.

Nomax5 · #**311** (**permalink**) 07-12-2006, 06:01 AM

I've got IBP 8 but I much prefer IBP 4 its sort of to the point and simpler.

thanks for the help though. do you always you submit your websites using the semi-auto option?

or do you do it manually? or not at all?

**ctabuk** · #**312** (**permalink**) 07-12-2006, 06:05 AM

Never ever use it for site submission, I rely on the forum posts to get me indexed.

you get the point.

And never argument with your customer. The customer is the boss, below him the shareholder.

You learn to speak when you are about two years. You learn to listen when you are about 80.

Yes Soteris, I can - don't spam even with a reduced signature - the big bad Mods will find out and delete the sig - oh whoops - I did it - now go away.

Dave,
I have a question. Probably obvious to everyone bu to me. Is there a difference between running the Xenu program and the reports that you've been sending everyone?

...running Xenu as I write :).

**ctabuk** · #**319** (**permalink**) 08-01-2006, 03:25 AM

Agnes, One report on its way. Please post back with your findings. David

Xenu is an excellent link checker, with the only problem that he does not recognize internal links when you are using an "id".

A. Smith · #**321** (**permalink**) 08-02-2006, 01:42 AM

Darn, my post went to la-la-land :(!!!

Ok, well, I was saying to John that I do not understand the "id" comment. Remember, newbie here :). I was running that Xenu on the upholstery site I volunteer on (sure takes a while) when my PC froze. But today I got my new laptop, so I will run it again soon. So far, it's just shown me how much my friendly webmaster and I are both packrats :)).

David,
This is an amazing report! Wow, even the "optional" are great suggestions! I just looked through it pretty fast, as I'm in the middle of setting up my new laptop, but I will definitely learn and gain plenty from that second reading! Thank you so much!
