Best way of optimising a small site

[shazypops]

Hi,
Just after some tips and guidance really. the site in questions is wwwaidsfordailyliving.co.uk and I just wondered what the best way to optimise a site with such little text is?

Hi Shaz,
Ideally, you need more content.
This and search engine friendly filenames, a sitemap and some inbound links will do the trick.
Content is key here as inbound links to good content will follow.

nice looking site, but it really needs more content to be taken seriously by Google.

If you want to keep the homepage clean with little text, why not consider adding a Blog & using this to post news & stuff

Have a look at ours to give you an idea of what I mean (www.bsamarketing.com/blog).

Search Engines love blogs & will tend to take a lot of notice of them.

Other than this, its a question of getting as many high quality backlinks to your site as possible.

Hi,

I just took a look at your site. I agree with the comments about the text in the previous posts. You've got to give Google and the other search engines something to work with if you expect them to send you any leads.

We've got a free tool on our website http://www.findingclients.co.uk/solutions/tools/expose/ which will let you see exactly what Google sees on your site. The results can be enligtening!

I also think you're missing a marketing opportunity with the title (forgive me for saying but it's a little uninspiring)

The page description could also do with a little work: A default description. Edit this in web.config

Don't feel bad about these problems. We surveyed over 300 000 sites, mostly small business sites in the uk and most of them had at least one of the three problems that your site has.

All of that said - I like the colors and the appearance of the site - it's an easy on the eyes design.
Cheers

Pete
