Hi my name is Patrick and I am new here. I was wondering if someone might be able to take a look at my website and give me some suggestion as to how I can make it more search engine friendly. Any help is greatly appreciated! The site is waterinmytank.com - Home

Thanks,

Patrick

Hello Patrick and Welcome to WPW

1. If possible you should try and use SEO friendly URL's

Taken from Google Help
"A site's URL structure should be as simple as possible. Consider organizing your content so that URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible, readable words rather than long ID numbers). For example, if you're searching for information about aviation, a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation will help you decide whether to click that link. A URL like http://www.example.com/index.php?id_sezione=360&sid=3a5ebc944f41daa6f849f 730f1, is much less appealing to users."

2. Your title "<title>waterinmytank.com - Home</title>" Why have your domain name in the title?
Read this to help understand how to optimize a title

3. Your meta description is way too long. Try to use around 4-8 keywords/keyphrases and around 160 but no more than 200 characters in the description.

4. Your meta keywords is way too long. You should pick your most relevant keywords

Choose your relevant keywords.
Write the site's content based on these keywords.
Create a title tag using the same keywords.
Create a meta description tag as a marketing sentence, also based on these keywords.

5. Your use of the header tags. "Exactly What Am I Getting If I Join Right Now?" Header tags tell what the page is about. Search engines also put added weight on any Keywords found in these tags.

Thanks for the advice! I have already changed the title and the meta info as suggested, but I can't figure out how to change the page URL's in Joomla. I'm working on it - if anyone knows how to do that in Joomla please let me know!!!

Thanks again - any other feed back???

Patrick

This looks like another "browns gas"(search google) generator site unless you are doing full conversion which I doubt, as would not work on diesel engines. very good if you supply complete ready made to fit kit.(building & getting these things to work takes a lot of skill and time) but many others doing instructions at cheaper prices or free to download at some"wares" sites. good luck!

Hi Patrick, Are you really going to need SEO - this surely will sell itself with everyone telling friends and buzzing off emails in all directions! I'm ready to sign up for a domain myself! However, from a user's point of view, I must assume you are in the US as your site is ambiguous to people in other countries seeing as you refer to cars that use diesel and 'gas'. Gas is US terminology. I had to search the site to find out if you really meant 'gas' (thinking bottled gas) and found clarification on one page regarding 'gasoline' but no mention of octane levels a vehicle normally used.

This is where more contact information, showing a US address, could have proved useful to the reader but I can understand you not wanting to mention address, etc in case you got flooded with mail enquiries which would be more cumbersome than emails to handle. Mail order though would be another consideration as in many places in the world, rural folk (high users of fuel for vehicles) don't have ease of access to internet banking - in NZ anyway.

Also, more information on City Bank could have proved useful. Can people in other countries sign up for an account with City Bank to help with marketing worldwide?

Finally more information about yourself - especially your trustworthiness eg family man, lived in the same place for years, inventor - whatever!

It sounds an amazing idea but purchasers need to reassured that they're not going to get ripped off. Good luck.

In addition to what others have said, you might want to look at the coding as it is somewhat bloated.
Try where possible to have your JavaScript off page.
It would appear that you have cut and pasted from MS Word which has added a great deal of extra coding and style information which should also be off page. You also need to tighten up your CSS. You are using single line breaks instead of adding margin or padding with CSS. Do you really need 6 <br /> tags?

You might want to study some other Joomla templates to see good search engine friendly coding.

I still cannot see that the URls are SE friendly yet - a relatively simple thing to do on Joomla.

If this is for real, you will make a fortune.

@Patrick: You should have a look at JOOMLA SEO Search Engine Optimization and Information for Joomla Sites - Pathos I have a free ebook there called The Little Joomla SEO Book that might help you to get strated on making your site more search engine friendly.

I have to update it to reflect the use sh404SEF component instead of OpenSEF, but the rest is still a valid source.

@amxfan: Thanks for the Link up, I hope you enjoy my Blog.

Too good to be true and Clickbank checkout?

Anyone else get slapped in the face with that red flag?

Let's not spend too much energy on putting lipstick on this pig.
The product promoted by this website is pretty much a flat-out fraud. See this article:
How to Run Your Car on Water - Truth About Water-Powered Car, Water Fuel - Popular Mechanics

Ok, guys and gals...we're not here to critique the product. We are here to critique the style and improve his/her business.

Your page is rich with key words...looks good.

Your color scheme looks good and pleasing to the eyes...

Your title "The Internets #1 Hybrid Conversion System" does not look good; the letters run too close one another.

I agree your DESCRIPTION and KEYWORDS metatags are way too long!

Thanks SOOOOOO much for all the advice!!!!!! I will get to work on making the improvements to the site - I have already started with some of them - meta tags - site title - url's (still working on doing this with Joomla 1.0) and hopefully soon I will have a SEO site.

I can assure that the product is real and lives up to it's claims as I use it myself on my own car - I went from 15MPG to 28 MPG in my mini van and as result am saving a good deal of money on gas. If it didn't work I could offer such a guarantee on with I have had NO returns.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions - keep them coming!!

Patrick

So we should be complicit in assisting fraud?

Fraud for one is wasted money for another. If one is stupid enough to believe this technology, they deserve to be taken. I personally invested a few grand in a Loral Langemeier "Create your wealth" program. I did the research...she was on NBC, CNBC, CNN, etc, etc, etc. Do I live in a McMansion now? Nope...The only good thing that came out of it was I was able to deduct the "training" in my Uncle Sam forms.

So, for now, lighten up!

No, they don't.

EcoGeek went live more than two years ago with no fanfare and no traffic. We had a readership of about five people. Three days later, I received the first notice of a breakthrough water-powered car that would solve our energy problems. Those emails have not stopped since.
We wrote a while back about why getting power from water is entirely impossible. But we didn't apply it directly to cars...so here we go again.
The advertisements you almost certainly are seeing from google on the sidebar are scams, we've tried to block them, but they just come back with different URLs. This story at Reuters, which claims that hydrogen is "extracted" from water to power a car is a big steaming pile. I don't know how these things slip through the cracks. I guess we'd all love for there to be a simple solution. Solutions exist, but this isn't one of them.
Generally these things are picked up on local news stations who have poor fact checking and (obviously) no knowledge of the laws of physics. But the fact that Reuters did a whole story on one of these bogus machines, and then it traveled undeterredaround the blogosphere, is simply inexcusable.
"Water Powered Cars" generally work like this: Energy stored in a battery or generated by an on-board gasoline powered generator, splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The two are then recombined, either in an internal combustion engine or in a fuel cell. Energy from the fuel cell or the engine then drives the car.
So, simplifying this, they're breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burning hydrogen and oxygen to create water. This is, of course, possible, but you can't get more energy out of the system than you put in. Otherwise, it's simply a perpetual motion machine.
If it worked, it could sit on the driveway and make energy all day every day and power the entire world without you ever needing to put anything in it. In short, if it worked, it would break the laws of physics, and we would never need to burn another piece of coal again. This would be an extraordinarily easy thing to prove. Too bad none of these people who make these wonderful devices are too busy talking to the local news to actually build one.
There are a lot of variations on the water powered car, but they're all bogus. People who say that adding gasoline-generated hydrogen to gasoline increases your gas mileage by 30% are full of it. It doesn't matter if they call it HHO or H20 or Brown's gas. It doesn't matter if they're creating it with a battery or a flywheel. It doesn't matter if they've postulated a sixth dimension from which flows seemingly endless amounts of energy.
Until someone puts a box on their driveway and it generates more power than goes into it...everyone who says you can power a car with water is either a fool or trying to take someone else's money.

cw1865,

You really don't understand how it works - have you installed one on your car and tested it to prove your theories??? I have, and I can speak form experience instead of theory - you can try it risk free and see if it works or not then report back. You are right - no you can't sit in your drive and create energy from nothing - you are missing the point - it just went right over your head - that is not what the system is designed to do - the system is designed to supplement the fuel you are already using to increase efficiency. And yes you can do this all day long. Since it only requires a small amount of electricity from your cars power system to create hydrogen from a water bicarbonate of soda mixture you can easily create enough hydrogen to burn as fuel and supplement your the fuel your car is already burning. It's not defining the laws of physics, just simple chemistry to supplement what already being used. So give it a shot and if it doesn't work get your money back - boy that really sounds like a scam!!!

Why not put the contoversy to bed. Give me the information(I'll be happy to sign an NDL) and I'll try it out and repot back. If your claims are true, I'm certain your sales will skyrocket with an unbiased third party testimonial.

Just a couple other red flags to mention. Your contact email is a free account. Many of your graphics are hosted on a free image hosting service.

Your moneyback gaurentee is a little bogus. "If after 60 days..." I find it more than curious tht you chose 60 days. 60 days just happens to be the expiration of doing a chargeback with credit card companies or dispute allowed at PayPal. Also your gaurentee text should be selectable.
