I've been reading posts here for several months now and thank you all for the insight, now it's time to ask you all what you think.
In our goal to jam our keywords into every detail of a page, just where do we cross the line into spamming?
Each Product Page is trying to be optimized for specific keywords.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Default website critique

Nice looking site. I'd like to suggest you add navigational (text) links at the bottom of each page so that your visitors do not have to scroll back up to top of page to go to another page.

Also, you might consider adding a Links page to your site and develop a lot of reciprocal links to other sites relevant to yours (preferably with higher page ranks). This is very important for search engine optimization.

Best wishes for success.

Default Looks good

CarotTrader:

I must agree with Najoba regarding your site.

Najoba: Recommended Links coming AND going to improve ranking and a nav. bar at the bottom of your pages to make it more user friendly.


My own is to think font(s):
Standardizing font type is a must for easy sight reading.
Though it may seem eye catching it in truth is Hard to read.

Suggestion:
Ariel, Tahoma, Helvetica are some of the starting points.


Of course this font change would have nothing to do with a change in logo font.

Oh Yea, Let me know if you make any changes . . . I’d like to see them.

Best of luck out there.

Respectfully,

Default your site

for the most part good. you might want to put the carottrade.com logo in the "blue part" of the header of the home page. That would really set your site off better from the start.

The fonts on the left navigation bar could be simpler.

Default Thanks everybody.

Thanks guys for the reviews.
I took your advice and changed the font in the nav buttons. It was a pretty big project.
I was wondering if any of you had checked out any of the product pages, like a scooter, or a camera. I added some stuff down the left column, Up top I put a copy of my meta description tag. On the bottom I put a few words under "Catagory/Keywords". Between that and putting the keywords in the descriptions, and a small one liner naming the product at the very bottom, I'm pushing the keyword maybe 20 times on each page. Any ideas where that would be crossing the line into spamming territory?
