[cantona7]

Keep the ideas coming
Gemma

My client who told me about them said they were quite reasonable for the job done, certainly less than having to shell out every month apparently.
PM and I'll get their contact details to you.

 

[gemd89]

PM'd but i have a few more ideas first

Gemma

 

[cantona7]

[gemd89]

The name of the game is linking, essentially.
Google will have you back up there if you have quality links going into your site.
On page optimisation will help but the major thing fo Google in my opinion is links. Its written in their business plan way back in '98 so its something thats not ging to change anytime soon.
concentrate on getting links from high PR sites and you'll be rising in the rankings before you know it.

I love these sweeping statements. Everyone knows they need links, getting them is the hard part

RedEvo, you're not kidding!

There are ways and means to get the high PR links.
You may already know about the firefox Seo Quake tool. It helps me a lot.

For example, If I'm looking for high PR links for say pension planning, I'd do a google search "pension planning forum", without quotation marks. Those results can then be back analysed in seo quake to see the high pr ones. for the high pr sites, simply sign up as a member, ensuring you put your website behind anchor text in your signature box, if allowed. Start posting and you've got some high pr backlinks.

There's more ways but thats one to start things off.

 

[RedEvo]

Ah yes, forum spam, that's where it's at

[cantona7]

Ouch, that hurts!

Far be it for me to suggest for people to spam forums. My philosophy has always been if you haven't something to add to and enhance a debate, don't get involved.
Staying silent is contribution too

Another technique is to do a similar Google search for lists of high pr directory sites relevant to your keywords and post your site details on those.

 

[RedEvo]

Ouch, that hurts!

Yeah sorry, I was a bit sharp there. I just sigh when I think of people looking at forums as a means of securing 'quality' links.

Im only signed up to this forum and netmums so i get links from those but i use both sites alot aswell

Gemma

 

[RedEvo]

Neither are merit based links, both are of limited value IMHO.

[gemd89]

Well i am building other links so will see how it goes.

You need to do a lot of SEO work.
When it comes ot ranking there're two main things: content and links.
I assume you have content, I saw you have almost 2,000 pages but I didn't browse much on your site.
But when it came to checking backlinks to your website I could see that you virtually have no links to your site and 95% of them come from this forum. Lots and lots of work to be done if you're serious about ranking in google.

 

[RedEvo]

As it stands your site has no link worthy content which suggests all your link building is basically self promotion. Think out of the box

I don't know why people say it's harsh when RedEvo is absolutely right. I totally understand when you post a link to your website once in a while when it's needed or include it in your sig (if allowed) but most of the forum posters just spam.

BTW, how forum posts are high PR links???? Post pages themselves have NO PR.

 

[gemd89]

Im confused by your quote?

I think only around 30 of those pages has text content

So in laymens terms, if i wanted to get to page 50 in google for fancy dress, what exactly would i need to do?

Gemma

 

[gemd89]

And is there a way to check without looking through every page?

Gemma

Il get you started gemma.....

step 1 - look at your homepage title

If you would like to chat on MSN, I have a free hour or so. PM me your MSN.

 

[gemd89]

You have PM

Gemma

 

[gemd89]

Any other advice welcome?

Gemma

 

[gemd89]

U mean the bar right at the top when you go to clothingchain.com and it says CLOTHING CHAIN - it should say something like fancy dress costumes and accessories?

Gemma

 

[nitro23456]

First of all right click on your homepage and click 'view source'... this is how search engines will see your website. You will see your title <title>Clothing Chain</title>

This needs adressing first imo.

 

[gemd89]

Will be sorted soon, next

Gemma

 

[DayTrader]

After you update your website start building links to your website.

 

[gemd89]

I have 300ish links so far - im building them day by day

Anything else?
