Hey Doug,

For search engines you really should post this in the search engine board.

But, I'll tell you right now, there's not much hope in having your site crawled and shown up on search engine results. You might get your home page, but thats about it.

Your URL string contains too many variables and an ever-changing session id

You might want to consider another cart

Default freelink and counter messes up the look of your page

The free link and counter messes up the look of your page. Makes it look uncool. Keep you left navigation to 150-160px max and total page width at 750px max.

You have only 1 meta (keywords. Add Description metatag too.

Add this

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index, follow">
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="INDEX, FOLLOW">

Thanx cyanide,

would a redirected url to my site do any good?
my site is set up to a companies warehouse for availability of the products that i sell, so people know whether the product is instock or not, what do you suggest that I do?

Default Re: made changes how does this look now

Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. Loads nice and fast. Underlined text looks like links - perhaps better to highlight with colour. Lower half of the site looks empty. Otherwise, a good design although I see you have a Google pagerank of 0/10 which needs working on. Good luck with it.

Hello,

You spelled Guaranteed wrong on all of your pages.

On the pages where there is no content, it looks like you have two lines of links one right after another. I can see you were trying to put one at the top and one at the bottom but without content you can see them both.

You also have 4 catalog links on every page but when I click on order a catalog, there is nothing there.

Have a nice day!

Hi Doug,

not sure what you mean about a re-directed url ??

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the way your site is set up with long url strings and especially a session id, you're practically invisible to search engines.
The worst offender is the session id, which is mscssid= followed by a series of characters. These characters change everytime a visitor comes to your site. So in essence, even though the pages are the same, whenever the bots come to your site, they think it's a different page.

So how are your pages supposed to be indexed if they come up different everytime the bots pay a visit ?

what can you do?
Well, you can still optimize your title tags, which are virtually identical on all pages and put the keywords in the text as well.
You should also think about putting a sitemap in there too.

OK Doug,

Here is what I would do. Create a few main pages,(index, about us, contact, site map, etc.) and make them static. Meaning, don't run them through the script you are using for the shopping system. Fill these page with keywords, descriptions, page titles and body copy that reiterates your keywords. Submit these to the search engines and include text links to the shopping system.

In other words, don't make your shopping script the default site, make it a subset to a static site that can be crawled by the search engines.

This will get you on your way. No need to redirect anything.

Best of luck.

Default add a few words

When submitting to search engines, I would inlude keywords: bargains, online store. Also you might want to have an advertising slogan on your site. I would lean heavy on promoting "bargains". Looks nice, loads nice. Good luck.

Hi,

I am not sure about what there is on your pages that are linked to the company's pages, but here goes:

You really don't need two sets of visible links. The ones on the left will do quite nicely. I would eliminate the ones in the middle of the page. The text at the top...is just too wordy. Apply the K.I.S.S. theory to your description and eliminate all unnecessary words..focus in on the most important ones. Make the font smaller, so that you can get the products right up front so the visitor can see them. You want the immediate attention of the visitor, and if the first impression is a turn-off, your visitor will leave and not come back.

If you simplify your site, it would be much more pleasing to visitors. And....if you must include the word "guaranteed" -- be sure it is spelled correctly! Especially right up front in big bold text on the home page!

Where are your keywords in your source code? Your site really needs SEO (search engine optimization). Good luck..I hope your sales are going well.

I agree with the comment about the counter and extra FREE graphics on the bottom of the page. This make the site look quite amateur"ish".
