  		*** Please Help - SEO Confusion ??? - 4/27/2008 17:50:38   
After "12 years", I finally designed a site that has direction, purpose, and heart.

However, in those 12 years, as soon as I think I understand search engine opt. - Things change...

I would love it if I could get some advice on whether my site is close to ready for S.Eng. promotion.

Which at 5 clicks a day, It's obviously not. :)

Should I fix some things, start over, etc.

Is my site to busy,...not enough text,...too many images,...header wrong?,...Link Popularity,...Please Help!!!

I may not want this answer but is my site too plain or diluted by competition since my Broad Niche is 'Women' alone.

Here it is http://www.EverythingWomenWant.com

Hi

I won't get into the argument about backlinks - I'll let someone else tackle that one!

That aside, there are some things that jump out at me.

Firstly - You've got a big long javascript in your H1 tag which is important to search engines. I'd only have "Everything Women Want" in there.

Secondly - if you look at the page without images on you get a good idea what a search engine actually sees. Search engines like lots of relevant content - you've got a couple of dozen links to other sites and that appears to be it... There's not much actually there for the search engines to work with. You really need more content - some editorial stuff or a blog or articles or something. Give the search engines something to search. At the moment your site (page?) is the website equivalent of a small sieve as far as a search engine is concerned - not a lot there and leaking off to other sites.

I'm not 100% sure of the next statement so don't bet money on it - but my feeling is that you might even end up penalised if you've just got a site full of links to other sites (as a high proportion of your content). You might look like a small link farm.

So if you want to make money from the site I'd suggest expanding the site a bit - either write or buy in some interesting articles (which you can rotate as static content is also a bad idea) to go around your affiliate links.

You're right in that it's tough if you're a generalised topic site aimed at all women everywhere - but you can increase your profile by adding interesting content. Have a look at this site: http://www.dailycandy.com (yes they're quite big but you might get some ideas).

"Everything Women Want"...made me smile...I came up with love, sex, friends and a good laugh...so a blog, forum, joke of the day on the main page might be an idea...along what tailspin is suggesting.
That aside, I was surprised to find that even the page links e.g. shoes etc. went directly to an affiliate setup...how about a bit about shoes, leading into what's so great about these shoes/company and why you chose them as the best of the best.
Finally, unless someone hits the back button, you've possibly lost them at one of the affiliate sites. Any way to have them open inside your site? Or make the start page to the affiliate in your sites colors/layout?
Regards, Scotty

Hi cacenigma, i guess that one is complete women's hang out. I feel that its close to ready......I am saying this as once you start SEO..it will definitely improve the site as the traffic may direct you to some sort of improvements. I think that its better if you go ahead and target the women traffic.:)

If nothing else, you certainly scored an excellent domain name.

  		How to tell? - 6/7/2008 13:14:38   
Does anyone know how to tell if a link that is actually referring to a database id can be crawled by the search engines? I have some that show up and some that don't.
