It looks like you are trying to rank for the keyword Natural Life. So it people search for that phrase in the search engines, your site will appear. To get a lot of traffic, you will need to get your site on the top 10 for that phrase.

If you can get to top ten, it will be more popular.

Well to try and help you get found more I have just sent our New Zealand based search engines web spider into your host so you will also be able to be found by our search engines users as well.

Heaps of regards

Smile Re: You Like It! But How To Make It Reach People?

Hello Baba, Well I liked your site and thought it looked quite different and was almost poetic! However, I think the subjects in your left navigation are a bit ambiguous and that all of the pages ought to relate to the health subjects that you've got 'floating' around on the top and bottom of your intro. page - like overweight, diabetes, etc. When I looked on the diabetes page your title seems OK if a bit short but your meta description and keywords don't relate at all to diabetes! So if someone searches for 'cure for diabetes' you're not going to be found so easily because you haven't got any backup 'diabetes' words in your code. The same for the first page after "enter" which doesn't have a description and seemed to be all about water without the heading 'natural health' or whatever.

I think you may have missed an opportunity to engage a visitor by not providing an immediate, quick click thro' on those 'floating' health subjects where it would be better if they took the viewer straight to a page or preferably a paragraph relating to that particular subject which it didn't seem to do for the pages I observed.

Otherwise, the site works easily but I think a short sharp to the point intro para to gain the visitor's immediate attention, say "natural health cure for weight loss", with quick practical lead in info. would be preferable so as to encourage them to read all the text. I found I scanned the text quickly to try and find 'concrete' important keywords.

From my own experience, you have to keep on trying with different page options untl you get it right but probably most vital is to check out the most important search terms for the subject you are discussing and use those terms in your headings and text - even if it means breaking a page up with short sub headings and use those words in your code meta description and keywords.

I didn't notice how long your site has been up but take encouragement from the fact, that if you run each of your pages through the free SEO tools on Sitereportcard.com or instantposition.com and get your SEO as perfect as you can, submit your site to as many directories as possible to get some good links, then it is all a matter of time before you will achieve the results you are looking for.

Good luck! Marilyn

First of all you need to fix a basic problem with your pages. Links into your site are being split between
Code:
www.livingnaturallife.com and livingnaturallife.com
To see what I mean, put both of those forms of your domain name into this tool and you'll see that the numbers are different:

Link Popularity Check

If you're on a linux or unix host this is easily fixable through your .htaccess file in your site's root. Put this bit of code in there:

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.livingnaturallife.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://livingnaturallife.com/$1 [r=301,L]
That Widexl tool will also tell you that you don't have very many links into your site. Start submitting to directories, and start commenting on blogs that are about these subjects, and you'll start to see those numbers creep up. Submit some articles to the article banks with a nice bio box with good link text to link back to your site.

Submit to all the directories listed here, but only do 20-30 submissions a week.

Info Vilesilencer: The Original SEO Friendly Free Directory List

Check the forum there as well for new directories opening.

You need to figure out who will benefit from your site and optimize a page each for those terms. We call this "niche marketing" or going for the long-tail search.

One thing you can do is restructure your page titles so that the subject of the page is first in the title. You don't need "Living Life Naturally" on every page. You do need a specific and unique keyphrase rich title and meta description on each page. You need to have an h1 tag on every page that reiterates the stuff in your title and description. And you need for the article on that page to repeat those things once or twice.

Add an rss feed OR put your whole site on blog software to take advantage of rss tools for linkbuilding.

Use social networking sites to promote your site.

A site doesn't take off overnight. It takes a slow and steady effort to gain traffic. Make the effort and let us know in a few months how you're doing.

Meanwhile I got you started on linkbuilding here:

I think you need to rethink your information architecture. The home page is a nice intro but not much content. that paragraph would be a great intro paragraph but put into the main page design as a home page, then also have your main nav on there, this will help spiders index all your pages. You only link to the 'start' page of your site from that index page. you are missing a trick there you should have links to all your features.

Try more content on your home page about what areas of natural living you promote and how you promote them.

I agree your main nav titles are alittle ambiguous. easier would be perhaps "what is natural living" and "how to live a natural life" etc - so that people can easily find out exactly what your site is about. The info is currently a little vague and disjointed and from having a quick flick through i'm not 100% sure what you're really promoting.

Also try to think what people you want to visit may be searching for. would it be "natural life"? or would it be "natural diabetes remedy", or think 'outside the box' what about "allergy cures" or similar - quite often people with allergies look for non-chemical/medicinal ways to treat or overcome them. Then optimise your page for these - still write FOR THE USER but try to think about WHO might be looking for a natural lifestyle - what has prompted them to come here?

really nice design though and colours are used really well its a nice looking site

Ditch the home page image maps and provide something that resembles navigation. Then, make it so that the user can actually get somewhere. Basic usability and information architecture.
