I'd relax on the duplicate content in your title tag... (MSN was heavy on Title tags / h1-h3 tags before the last update)

Personally I'd worry more about Google than MSN ;)

Also you have a TON of meta tags that are not necessary! weed those out and you will more than likely see some changes... Then to top it all off... get some IBL's (In Bound Links) using your most popular key phrase ;)

i don have a few, this is a new website it has only been up for a month. But it came out number one. I bought 3000 links from gotlinks.com and have traded 200 recp. it will take time for them to show up.

Can you tell me what tags i should take out. I am new at this and i have five other sites that are the same and need to change them all.

[Ne0]

I would take everything below your desc out and you have your .css file called twice... (take one of those out) ;)

thanks alot man. like i said i am learning. i have paid seo companies in the past to get burned so i am doing these new sites by my self

[Fort Worth Realtor]

Can you tell me if that is better

Also on the title tag, what if i want to rank for all them keywords. How do rank well if fort worth in not in front of them all

[Ne0]

Yeah that's much better ;) <link rel="stylesheet" is there and an error... so remove that too... then you need to shorten up your Title tag... it's far too long and uses the same words over and over again ;)

I just tried calling your 866 number to walk you through it really quick but got a voicemail... I left you my number ;)

You have a canonical issue with the www and non-www version of fortworth-texas-real-estate.com

Use one version and do a 301 direct

Make sure the url is consistent in the menu

[Webnauts]

Try to generate a sitemap, for example with this tool, and you will see the disaster of the site in its full glory: http://www.sitemapdoc.com/

Can some one tell me how to fix that problem, i figured something was wrong with the url that is why msn was doing this.

For this problem I can tell you what to do.
Use unique title tags on all your pages. :)

[Fort Worth Realtor]

ok i am changing that right now

[Fort Worth Realtor]

i changed them a bit, but some of the pages are database pages and i cant change them. i also ran the sitedoc thing and fixed 90 percent of the problems. Anything else i can do

The ones you cannot change, exclude them using the robots.txt.

[Fort Worth Realtor]

i am going to send this to someone to help me, hopefully i can get it fone thanks for the help. thanks for having a great site with tools also

[just-trying-to-help]

For nuhomesource.com,

Unfortunately, I don't think the robots.txt will do the trick to exclude the property pages(which are considered duplicate).
All the files on the server are in the main directory.

The script writes the property detail pages to the main
nuhomesource.com/property_detail.php?.....
instead of:
nuhomesource.com/property_detail/property.php?...

Hmmmm, I'm stumped. Any ideas?

PS: I just took a look at your sitemap located here:
www.nuhomesource.com/sitemap.html
Definately not good.
#1) shouldn't have more that 100 links per page.
#2) you must divide your sitemap into like a thousand pages or something. No good.
You obviously have thousands of pages but most are duplicate so thats a good thing.
Remove all the duplicate pages like property_detail.php?... Every one is considered duplicate.

Only add important pages to the sitemap...

[Fort Worth Realtor]

Ok can you help me, How would i go about doing this. I had someone install that site map a long time ago

[just-trying-to-help]

I will get to that, give me a little while.

This text is at the bottom of every page. Remove it.

An Online Getaway
When I bought this house two years ago it was really a tear-down, but I decided instead to fix it up. In the process, I added a full wireless automation system to the house. I'm the director of corporate innovation for Intermatic, which makes, among other products, wireless lighting controls. There are a slew of [...]


Your Home: Is going green worth the cost?
A decade ago most people associated environmentally-sound home building with unsightly solar panels and bad water pressure. That's no longer a worry. Today the majority of houses that meet the U.S. Green Building Council definition of a "green" home - one that uses less energy, less natural resources and fewer toxic chemicals - are [...]

Home Sales 2006: It was a very good year
San Antonio homes this year sold like tamales at the holidays: fast. By early December, more than 22,600 existing homes had changed hands, and quickly. Most of the houses went on and off the market in 60 days, compared with an average of 69 days in 2005, according to the San Antonio Board [...]

This is adding to the duplicate content penalties.

Add this to your index page only.

[Fort Worth Realtor]

ok that is another thing, i figured out on my new sites how to add that to just the home page but, i will have to look around on the nuhomesource.com site to figure it out. the delevoper has that site all srewed up and does work right

[just-trying-to-help]

It all depends on what script/program that's set up on your host but usually there is options to create templates for different sections including the index.

If you don't mind telling us what script you are using by posting it here or sending me a private message, I can take a look for you.

I forgot to mention, if these articles are important, you can definately add a link to them at the bottom the page without the descriptions.

example:

An Online Getaway | Your Home: Is going green worth the cost? | Religious real estate: Putting churches on the market | etc.etc..

[Fort Worth Realtor]
