Default My Site Needs Your Eyeballs

Please review my site with two eyes. One for how the site looks to visitors, and the other eye on how the site looks to search engines. Any opinions on improvements would be appreciated. If anyone wanted to look at backlinks and let me know if there is any bad stuff, please do. Structured Settlements Pre Settlement Lawsuit Advances Lottery Payments Annuity Payments Mortgage Notes

Thanks so much.

EDIT: I have no idea why the url looks that way? I just put ppicash . com... guess it reads the tag?

You can disable that feature in the options when you're creating a new message or replying to an existing message.

In the new/reply window, scroll down to the options list and uncheck "Automatically parse links in text" to leave the url as you typed it and prevent the script from fetching the page title and using it to build a hyperlink.

Viewing the site in Firefox, I hate the constrained content column. It should be wider to add some white space and make the page more readable.

Consider making the page width 960 pixels so that it accommodates the most common screen resolutions, those being 1024x768 or larger (the new web standard). This width still looks great centered and leaves plenty of room for vertical scrollbars if required.

If you're actually participating in the BBBonline accreditation program, you've paid a lot of money to have an online profile. Link to your BBBonline company profile and use the "rel=nofollow" attribute on the hyperlink to prevent bleeding pagerank. If you're not a member, remove the graphic as the fact that the link is missing might indicate that you're not really a BBB member and thus, not as "above board" as you appear to be.

Why no <h1> heading tag in your home page??? This is the premier page in your site, the gateway to everything else and the page most likely to show up in search results. You're leaving money on the table without a heading. Fix that asap.

What's with the "mailto:" links on the contact us page? you've already implemented a contact form to help prevent spam, why make the mailto links available? It's a case of one step forward, two steps back as they serve only to detract from a polished, professional corporate image.

You might also want to edit your page title (<title></title>) tags. As it stands they'd be much more effective were they more readable. Spamming the page title, image alt attributes, meta keywords and meta description tags is really not as effective as it may once have been. Try to make them appealing and natural sounding as you read them aloud.

Think a little more about how you'd like to see them appear in the search results and not simply where you'd like them to appear. You'll find they rank better and that you'll get more clicks if they're done right.

Here's a post that might be helpful:

I like the color-scheme, but agree that the main text in the middle feels constrained.

I don't understand the white box at the bottom. They don't look like links in my browser (Safari). Why are these here? Why are you offering ways to get off of your site?

What type of structured settlement can I sell?

lawsuit cash advance can get you an advance on your settlement.

Agree that the text in the middle is constrained. Your home page is too long and it looks odd with all the empty gray space on the sides between the top and the bottom. Also, get rid of the mix of bold and regular text in the menu on the left side. It is not appealing to the eye.

This can not be over emphasized.
If you are trying to get people to spend money on YOUR website, why would ever offer them a way to leave? Especially for an UNrelated topic?

For example, you should see your divorce attorney BEFORE you win the lottery, not after.
