Is my site well optimized?

[handcrafteduk]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to optimize my site for the keyword 'unique gifts'. I would be grateful if someone could take a look at it and let me know what they think!

The site is: http://www.handcrafteduk.com

Is there anything else I can do to improve ranking? I am trying to get sites to link back to me and, slowly but surely, this is happening!

I would ideally like to get into the top 20 for the search in google!

Thanks,

gary

You need LOTS more back links to achieve ranking on such a popular term. Are you targeting for the UK SE's?

thanks for the reply.

I've followed a lot of the advice i've been given but just wanted someone who is competent with SEO to take a quick look at what I had done.

on page optimisation of the homepage seems ok. All you need now is links from other sites to yours with your chosen keywords as anchor text.

Choose quality over quantity and relevance over pagerank :)
