Hi

I'm Lynda, a Kiwi:) I have had a very successful site since it was lauched in 1998 - it has provided an excellent full time living ever since.

Due to a series of events, too tedious to enter into, other people have been at my site and in short, it is a mess and I can't fix it (also a tedious story) I have suffered the frustration of waiting for someone to fix various errors for long enough - I feel it is time to go to a CMS

while there are a number of things I am not happy with, I still have excellent SE rankings and sales are humming along.

I am anxious about switching to a CMS for fear of losing my rankings (and my livelihood) The system I will be using is a NZ one, 'Thrive' I am a marketer, not a tecchy type, so I don't understand the language it is written in. It appears to me that on the URL's this system is SE friendly, and the sellers tell me it is.I am not so sure
I have a friend using this system, and I know what her keywords are.

Would someone be kind enough to visit this link http://www.sensationz.co.nz and have a peek at the source code.

I can't see any of her keywords in it and I wonder how it reads to the spiders? She is ranked on google, but I can't see how.

I would be hugely reassured if someone would be kind enough to check out the code and give me feedback on how SE friednly it really is before I commit myself

Thanks so much

Lynda

Hi Lynda, welcome to WebProWorld.

What key phrase is your friend trying to target on her home page? I'm not finding very many inbound offsite links, this will be big factor in her Google SERPs.

That big chunk of javascript slows load time some; the javascript menus will be a hurdle to your SEO efforts, but the sitemap helps somewhat with that issue.

I don't see anything wrong with the framework of the site that would prevent it from eventually doing well in the SERPs.
