Hi, I like the site from a navigation point of view - but ---
Listings in West Nimar : Indian Real Estate Directory - Real Estate India Online

Now personally I'd change the directory bit around and have the location first as my longtail search term. Run it by this SiteReportCard: Web Site Optimization and Promotion Tools

Links - that's going to be a long job with that many pages. But the URL Title is Brilliant and the overall impression is highly professional - a job well done.

The very first thing before I do when I have to review a web site is that I check the code:
[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.realestateindiaonline.com/ - W3C Markup Validator

That stuff must be fixed before I can tell more.

Hello ctabuk,

Thanks for your professional and encouraging review however I am somewhat confused with what do you actually mean to say by "personally I'd change the directory bit around and have the location first as my longtail search term". Do you mean to put location name first in the URL title?

Waiting for your reply...!

Hello Webnauts,

If you see the source code clearly, the errors pointed out by W3C validator are of the javascript code used in "Bookmark" link. We have made sure that all other code passes all validation checks by W3C XHTML validator. So, your detailed review will be much appreciated if you leave the javascript code issues pointed by W3C for now.

Waiting for your reply...!

Hi, it's only a minor aspect -but if you click on the link I provided and look at the URL link you will see /directory/ followed by location - I'd go for the location first as it is the most obvious search term.

Sincerely what you say is not true. The problems are not alone due to that javascript:

Lines 32,193,227: In XHTML documents, style and script content must not be in a comment because it technically means that the browser will see it as a comment and not as actual style or script content (though browsers are currently forgiving about this). However, not using comments makes your document less compatible with pre HTML 3.2 browsers (but most browsers now in use are HTML 3.2+ compatible). For maximum compatibility, it is recommended putting the script (especially longer scripts) in an external file and using the "src" attribute to specify the external file. The next best option for XHTML documents would be to not put the script content in a comment and to disregard pre HTML 3.2 browsers.

Line 78: For better backward compatibility with HTML, use a space character before the '/' character.

Line 89: The value of the "name" attribute ("submit") may conflict with properties of the JavaScript Form object when using JavaScript. It is recommended that the value of the "name" attribute be changed to avoid potential conflict when accessing the form object's properties, methods, and event handlers. Values that should not be used include "action", "elements", "encoding", "length", "method", "name", "target", "reset", "submit", and some others.

Line 168: An "input" element with type="image" typically uses a "name" attribute so that "name.x" and "name.y" values can be submitted with the form to indicate where the user clicked on the image. However, if you don't need the location of where the user clicked, then omitting the "name" attribute should work with most browsers.

Line 289: Sine when does an anchor tag close like this in a JavaScript
document.write('">Bookmark</a>');
I thought is should be like this: document.write('">Bookmark<\/a>');

At last, all your <table> tags lack the "summary" attribute.

I don't know who told you that JavaScript story, but I guess he could learn something from my post here.

I will have a look again, if these problems are solved. Can't do more now.

I applogize for not replying back earliar as I have been extremely busy with various arrangements.

Anyways, The code has been modified to make the "Real Estate India Online" directory Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

So, what do you say now webnauts?

Webnauts · #9 (**permalink**) 12-16-2007, 04:45 AM

Great to see that your fixed the markup errors.

So the first two issues to fixed are:

1. In terms of accessibility and usability, you should not underline words which are are not links.
2. Place the life support button to a more prominent place of the site. Best would be to have it at the top/right.
3. Looks like you are trying to manipulate the search engine rankings, but what you will achieve is, you will never rank. And your content is not written for users.:

Out of this text:
Real Estate India Online is a directory of Indian real estate companies, real estate agents, builders, property dealers, land developers and other real estate professionals in India. This Indian Real Estate Directory is categorized for all the 28 States and 7 Union Territories of India up to individual city level in order to make your navigation & search as simple and quick as possible. Categorized listings provide easy access to listings in Indian real estate directory. This directory provides searchable database of Indian real estate companies, builders, developers and agents for buying, selling, renting residential and commercial property in India.

Real Estate India Online is the most comprehensive Directory for Real Estate in India and it allows you to find Real Estate related service providers in your choice of state and city of India.

I get this:

"Real Estate India ... Indian real estate ...real estate agents, ... real estate ... India. ... Indian Real Estate Directory ... India ... Indian real estate directory. ...Indian ... India.... Indian ... real estate directory. Real Estate India ... Real Estate in India ... Real Estate ... India."

Gosh man! Be careful, because the Google PhraseRank algo will beat you up if it did not already!

At last I cannot help you any further, as the deeper pages of you are site do not have valid markup.

Jesus man! You are trying to spam the search engines, but they will spam you.

Looks like you or your SEO is an old school spammer.

With your title, description and keywords tags you will never rank. You can take my word for that!!!

Sorry, but I do not support such web sites. Get that stuff fixed before I will have to report it to Google, if the site is already indexed.

Sorry man, but I hate spamindexing and spamindexers.

Webnauts · #11 (**permalink**) 12-16-2007, 06:54 PM

Sorry, about the deeper pages. I see now. They are the Google ads errors.

So fixed what I mentioned and I will have another look.
