We would appreciate very much your comments and suggestions!

Our newest web site is about Professional & Ethical SEO (Search Engines Optimization).

Please notice that our forums and blog are still not 100% ready, so please no reviews about those please.

1. Our company name and domain name is: seoworkers.com.

Please notice that the domain (05-Oct-2006) and site (15-Oct-2006) are brand new, with an own IP, hosted in Germany, and have been first time indexed by Google on the 19th of October this year.

2. The whole site validates XHTML and CSS.

3. The site also conforms the W3C/WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Priority 3 (AAA). Therefore it is optimized for Google Accessible Web Search for the Visually Impaired.

4. We also achieved an excellent page structure (semantics), that most web sites I see on the web don't, which can be checked that with this tool.

5. The site conforms the U.S. Government Evidence-based Usability Guidelines. We did our best to achieve an excellent site navigation, even though our html site map is not 100% done, will be ready be in the next few days.

6. Also see here how the search engines see our pages with this tool.

7. We also use ICRA, and we are also entered in their database, and not only using the Meta Tag.

8. We also have a feed created in RDF which validates. and we are using a P3P policy which also validates.

9. We have rich content about SEO, as articles and tutorials, and an SEO Tool, which we are updating from time to time.

10. We have IBLs from diverse TLDs like .edu, com, etc, also including our domain name (company) and main keywords, and OBLs only to authority sites so far.

11. We also did our best to conform to the Stanford Web Credibility Guidelines.

12. Also, in the new future we are leaving the .xml site maps, and we are moving to OAI-PMH path.

13. There are for sure more things we worked on, unique title tags, description and keyword meta tags, unique headings (h1,h2,etc), alt and title attributes, and more.

14. We also do social media optimization, including on-line bookmarking opportunity for our tutorials, articles and tools.

15. Site wide no broken links.

16. And by the way, yesterday we had the following rankings within the first 100 results of our targeted keywords, or some were also our top queries, according to Google Site Maps Webmaster Service:

Google within the first 100 results:
seo analyzer position 7 (05-Jan-07)
seo article position 41 (05-Jan-07)
seo articles position 55 (05-Jan-07)
seo consulting position 38 (21-Dec-06)

Yahoo within the first 100 results:

seo analyze position 8
seo analyzer position 8
functioning of seo position 6
how to stop google from indexing https position 1

You're doing fantastically well and have clearly worked hard to make sure that your code is exemplary both in terms of semantics as well as appropriate use of keywords.

With your on-page optimisation completely mastered, I'd focus on expanding your backlinks.. it's boring but well worth it!

A solid base of quality backlinks that is constantly expanding has limitless value.

Confused about the image in the top banner.
Up to the left? Normal is up to the right.

Phone number on homepage is confusing: (+49) 0521 - 325 99 99

So, if I am in the USA do I punch the 0 after the 49 or not?
I think the best would be: +49 521 325 99 99 as anyone in Deutschland would know that the "real" number is: 0521 325 99 99. Yes?

Where is your "Impressum"?

"Optimizing for Search Engines, with Humans in Mind." is a much better tag line than "Cutting Edge"

You got it! And that is on purpose. As we do not want to be normal. Observe carefully the SEO world, and you sure will understand what I mean :)

Good point, but I am not sure. What do others think here? By the way, thanks for the review Dave.

Well, the code is obviously a "Mona Lisa", but if your asking for a personal opinion on the look, I feel that there is something wrong. I can't exactly pinpoint the problem but it has something to do with the line height, maybe a little too far apart. I'm sure you have tested and brain stormed this fact but it just doesn't work for me. You may want to tone down the 1.75em line height to 1.5 at most. Too much empty space for my little brain.

Also the logo height being 205 kinda fills up the upper half of my screen at 1152 by 864, maybe cut the height down to 175 or so will show off the content a little better. I took the liberties at Looking at it from my other computer at 1280 by 1024 and it still looks overwhelming. Mind you, it is a pretty pic. Besides that, it does look fabulous.

Now I have off topic questions for you, if I may.
The logo background pic at a 1597 width, why do you feel you need to make it so large? Fantastically optimized I must say but I'm just curious.

Great Job as always...

Just one suggestion. Do you plan at a later date to add anything below the boxes - SEO Analysis Tool, SEO Articles & Tutorials and SEO Discussion Forums? If no why keep the space below those boxes blank? Why don't you let the main content at the left flow below the above mentioned boxes? This could easily be done and would help reduce page length and get rid of the empty look on the right.

Also I must agree to the suggestion made earlier to reduce the header size (height).

We took your suggestion into our consideration, and we are testing some possibilities. Thanks for pointing that out.

We are concerned about higher resolutions and monitors, when resizing up to 3 times. Those values where exactly the requirements for a resolution 1280x1240 with 19" monitor.

Thanks. It is nice to hear kind words after all this hear work, which we still consider that we are not done. :)

Any comments about SEO?

Just-trying-to-help me made some modifications as you have recommended.

Can you have a look again? Did we miss something else?

The site looks pretty good, but where is the original content? Sure tools are all well and good if that is your bag. Do you plan on having a blog on the website or are you gong to post fresh content on the forums? I think the SEO forum idea is pretty much played out. Breaking into that market would be tough.

Most of the info on thaw website is available in other locations online. I guess what I am trying to say is what makes you different from all the rest of the websites that offer these same things are seoworkers.com?

Why do you run Webnauts.net and seoworkers.com? Aren't they pretty much the same thing? You don't want to run into branding confusion. I would clearly state the relationship between these two on the website somewhere and not just the footer.

Original content? Do you mean our content is stolen? He? Did you see our threes articles so far? Our page about Ethical SEO? The deeper pages of our services? Or did I misunderstand something?

You can be very sure that it is an excellent marketing and PR tool!!! :)

We are planning to have a blog, but there we will only add a short description of our new articles and of other external ones we will approve.

We will add there also the links to them. Our complete articles will be published on our web site.

We just set the forum up to provide some support for free. We are not planning to become a commercial forum!

Can you be more specific? That would be interesting. What should I have there for topics? About films, music, animals, or what? I don't get you there.

The same things? Are there out there so many SEO companies who optimize web sites for Google's Accessible Search? Are there out there so many companies who optimize Audio/Video files for Search Engines? Hm, I thought we had a thread about that recently here at WPW. Can you remember?

Yes. I run them both. They are pretty the same thing. But your point about not having them only in the footer, could be something we must look into.

By the way, thanks for the review Jaan, and I am looking forward to hear what you have to say about the above.

And by the way Incrediblehelp, do you know many sites of SEOs that use all web standards and techniques we do, and if some do, do they validate and conform at the degree we do for Markup (XHTML Strict/CSS tableless) Accessibility, Usability, Navigation, Credibility, P3P, Semantics, etc?

I hope you are kidding me man. ;)

I just see so many SEO company website so similar, mine included. It would be neat if you had some audio or video tutorials. Something that can makes you stand out from the normal SEO website.

Also I am not saying your contend is not original. That is not what I meant. I mean being different (link baiting) is obviously the hot thing now, so when releasing a website into the market place that is already VERY saturated you need to be different from the norm.

__________________

Already many SEM companies use audio/videos already, but we already have that in our plan too. That will not be something new or original though. Think for example about SitePal. Also original ones of companies.

OK. Then I misunderstood you man. Because our content is for sure 100% original.

Where we see us being different than others is, that we provide cutting edge design and SE0, as we provide the creation and/or optimization of web sites for Google's Accessible Search, and we do SEO for sites Audios/Videos, and we implement for the most SEOs (but for us not!) future-oriented technologies overall.

Looks fabulous, the layout is awesome but there is still something about the text that turns me off, sorry about that but the main content looks all over the place, dabble with a fieldset maybe, a slight rounded border around the main content text, or a #ECEEED 1px left,right,bottom border to close it. I don't know, it would take a little trial and error to get it right but your on your way.

No broken links, All valid URL's and no orphan files.
Just Peachy.

About your description, it may be a tad long as search engine results will cut it off...

In some cases, this can be a good attention grabber to tantalize people's curiosity.
example:
And here's a picture of her big...

But in most cases, it supplies an incomplete view of what the page is really about.

Best of Luck

It's looking really good!

I do agree about the line spacing though. Most of the acessibility folks I know are recommending either going with default or 1.4 or somewhere in between. Also, best practice states that you don't "dimension" a line height, it's simply a number. That isn't a spec thing but the top css folks simply say;
line-height: 1.4;

I warn y'all, the next bit is a rant . . .

I'm going to mention a pet peeve of mine, one that has had me swearing at any other coder whose work I end up fixing. Even though spec also says you don't have to put a ; at the end of the last style attribute within a bunch, if you don't it makes for lots of potential mistakes when editing. If you slip and add a style attribute to the end of a bunch and forget to add the ; to the one before it, that can send you to the rubber room if you add a bunch of edits and then stuff is flying all over the place when you check the page. So best practice dictates that you put the "unnecessary" ; on the end of every last style attribute. It's not technically necessary but it is neater and more considerate coding.{/rant}

I've also got a question for you. Would you please translate "Breadcrubs" ? ;)

Oops, forgot to mention-- that SEO tool of yours said I don't have a robots.txt on my site. I do, and it's in proper format. Which means your SEO tool isn't reading that right.

Bj, I am glad to hear that from a professional designer like you!

Thanks you for pointing that out Bj. That is very true. Accessibility advocates say to use the value 140%. How can I miss that? :)

But there is still an argument about that. Firefox v. 1.0.8 and some MacX browsers have problems with that. But I think they are so old, that I should go forward. ;)

That is very true. As more members of my team work on the CSS file. Thanks again for pointing that out!

Did I misspell that somewhere? It suppose to be breadcrumbs. That is Site's structure or the path taken like we habe on our pages:

You are here: Home ...

But I have a question now. How much space would you suggest between the paragraphs? I was reading the other day that is should be something like 1.5 - 2 em. Wouldn't that be too much?

Well what can I say. Great review and suggestions.

There are certain things I don't use em dimensions for. Between paragraphs is one place. Increase font size enough and with ems the spaces between the paragraphs become gaping chasms. I usually use a paragraph margin of 10px 0; YMMV. And that is one of those things that is a preference. Truly.

Bj I had margin-bottom 15px for the paragraphs, and now I have 10px. And for accessibility is suggested to have 1.5-2 lines. What do you think?

And for html and body I have font size 100%. And later on I use internally .85em. How much larger would you recommend?

I toned down to 140%. What do you think now?

That looks great, more structured. Much easier on the eyes, I find anyway.

PS: It would be a shame to waste all that space below the boxes, my link would fit perfectly in there, don't you think? LOL

Good Luck, even though I'm sure you don't need it.

I think the site look is great. Nice and clean.

I can see that you have a link at the top of the page to services, contact us etc... but not at the bottom. When i get to the bottom of a document I like to have the info available without having to scroll back up a page. I can see the contact us is in the body text at the bottom of the page but not all visitors will recognise this as a link yet.

For me, if I was looking for a company to assist me with SEO I would be looking straight away for Services & Quote pages. I think the positioning is clear to see at the top of the page but possibly it could be made more visible in other places of the document.

In regards to the telephone number maybe define the 0 by putting it in closed brackets also. (+49)(0)521 - 325 99 99

Steven first thanks a lot for your kind review.

I have setup a test page http://www.seoworkers.com/test.html for that, but looks a bit ugly. Do you think I really need all those links there? Or maybe should I change the positions of the different links? What would you suggest there?
I am looking into this issue to make sure what is the best solution, as I get diverse opinions about that.

By the way what does everybody else think about all this?

My first thought 'the graph is backwards?' . . But it works backwards.

It looks good . . .

But your SEO forum still will not allow me to post.
I think on memory I have sent three emails regarding the log in a while back . . (three is my limit)
I think the first email got me registered
The second email allowed me to post
The third email said I could not log in.
I did get a reply saying I was now able to. . .

(that's not good for a recognised usability expert)
I forgot what I was going to post John.

John, there is no doubt you do great work. . But I am always concerned that you are so meticulous at dotting every I, and crossing every T, that it scares me. . This is when I find myself telling myself, that I do not represent your target market.

I should say here I do sincerely love SEO persons and firms, I recently have been getting payments for classic car links, from some nice SEO people. .

My overall impression John - It's good, it gives a good honest impression of high ethical values and sincerity - with a huge splash of qualified expertise. I think it will appeal to clients with money.

__________________

I see what you mean about it not looking quite right at the test page http://www.seoworkers.com/test.html .

I do think somehow its needed because what we sometimes see as easy to navigate in our own sites is not always the case for others especially those who are not web savy.

A friend of mine in the UK who runs a Silver Mail order catalogue company is developing a new site and they recently hired a company to run usability tests on the page. They hired I think 6 people in an office with a web cam on them and then thesse people given instructions such as Go to "Login" The results showed that what they believed was right for their site wasnt and people couldnt find it. I think you should play about with it and Im sure something will drop into place.

The telephone number is a tricky one which I have first hand experience of as most of our customers are overseas for our Jewelry. I also have a small factory in Myanmar producing rattan ware for me and the other day someone gave me a telephone number in Myanmar and I wasnt sure do i include the zero or drop it.
Let me know what you decide is best with the number.

Lets face it - the build of the site is textbook.

Personally I would stop worrying about the line height and paragraph spacing and concentrate on the 'hardcore' promotion.

Get nice inbound links and concentrate your efforts on generating traffic (It would be nice to know what traffic this site is getting) This is obviously your field so I am somewhat interested in what you expect. Are you hoping that the site will suddenly, overnight become the main resource for SEO advise?

The pagerank for the site still seems to be at zero. I know this is not everything but how long has the site been live? - and has it generated any business for you yet?

You are obviously very talented and professional so I really don't mean to be rude, but I find it hard to digest a dedicated SEO site if they are still 'trying' themselves.

We are adding soon some photos/graphics and podcasts.

We worry about line heights and paragraphs, as it will not make sence to do hardcore promotion for a site that is not accessible and usable.

LOL. We are obviously doing that. We are also doing hardcore social media optimization.

I guess this is a joke. Or?

The domain exists since the 5th of October 2006 and have been indexed in Google on the 19th of October 2006. What about that? ;)

Still trying ourselves? Can you be more specific. I honestly do not understand what you mean.

Hi John

I know its a bit late, but better late than never.

Overall, your site looks very good. I like the graphic at the top. Very Web 2.0. (modern).

Its very informative and it looks like you have really worked hard on this.

I don't think i would have used just one colour for the layout, but as far as content and usability goes, its brilliant.



HTH and Well done!

here in the UK 'textbook' means 'by the book' I am sorry if you do not understand - I mean the site is built perfectly!!! -

I am interested in the goal of the site, what is your target or aim?

With regards to pagerank I set http://www.milesworkwear.co.uk/ live less than a month ago and it has PR3 already. I want to know what you expect from your site? That is the real question...

Changing Constants Ltd - 'the only thing constant is change' - affordable e-commerce website design

Thank you. I probably have not understood you. :)

OK, if we are talking about PR, if you have so good understanding about SEO, you might will get here what I am off for:

In the Google Webmaster Tools I had on the 14th of January 2007 the following:



High darkgreen=0px / grey=100px
Medium darkgreen=2px / grey=98px
Low darkgreen 89px / grey=11px
Page Rank not assigned yet assigned yet darkgreen=9px / grey=91px

The domain is registered on the 5th of October 2006, up since the 15th (10 days later) and indexed by Google on the 19th the same month.

So no PR to see in the tool bar, and anyway no links with operators and co.

11 or 12 days ago I noticed a Google IBLs update. Google returns 480 IBLs.

Can you tell with the above info the PageRank of the page/site, for sure of the day those values have been calculated and exported?

I retrieved with my API key:



I also just updated (logged in): http://www.seomoz.org/tools/page-str...seoworkers.com

Try to check with this tool too: http://www.webuildpages.com/seo-tool...pages-tool.php

I am not claiming that I am 100% right, that I have 8.2. I just calculated and came up with that. But Google will reveal soon the truth anyway. I am just trying to figure all that out for the future too.

And upon all that, our forum shows PR 4 in the green bar, but the main site not yet. Do you want to say here that we do not have PR with 480 quality back links?

jeez... I delayed quite a bit in coming here. I am sorry.

Ok, I´ve been to the site and the forum -and registered-. My impression of it is very good! I mean, I feel like I have nothing to say about it. It´s all ok. Font size is OK, color scheme OK too -easy to read, comfortable to the eye (when reading too much is expected) clear navigation, even the photo "backwards" is OK to me.

See, 90% of my current clients and prospects ask me for sites like these. People are increasingly getting conscous about accessibility and clarity, in which "content is king". I have begun building my sites (back in 2001) in flash... now I don´t take works which ask me to use it -not even for intros-. I don´t negotiate that. there´s plenty of demand enough to choose to work for people with common sense.

If you see Google results in general (I am an avid user always searching for diverse info) the sites which appear first are likely to be those very "silly coded" plain html sites... those which look awful, but work perfectly in terms of access to information.

there is a middle point in this... when you can achieve a great visual result AND make the code look very "silly" for the search engines. To build a cool site, with some good taste and use of CSS, you are done.

and this is what I see here. You have made a good looking site, so very clean in code (for the search engines and the users). Can it get any better thna this?

Congrats, John.

The only thing... When I entered the forun (home page) I see no navigation link back to the site, and the logo doens´t have the somehow expected link to the general homepage... Did I miss it?

Good job. :-)

Tere's a small grammatical error ("spiders them self") on the SEO Analysis Tool page.

IMHO and, as others have already pointed out, there's simply too much text squeezed into the page. So much so that it's difficult to read.

I understand the desire to get as much text fed to the spiders as you can, but with the page width being constrained, you might do well to consider breaking up the content with some white space so that it's more easily read and visually appealing.

Additionally, the headings all need more space on top. One more line break would do it.

Other than that, you know it's expertly constructed and presented. (We'd expect nothing less from you.)

Excuse me, but like Tim, I've got to go dry my pants. LOL
(It's not the question, it's the answer that matters most!)

Thanks for the cool review. I will look into those issues as soon as possible.
About what the others said except of the poster above you, was 10 months ago. The site looked different and we had more text, but since then we did a lot of work. I am still hoping to hear what the others hear have to say 10 months later.

By the way did you dry your pants yet?

Thanks again man.
