CONTENT is most important, the use of the most appropriate words. There is no point at all having a website selling CDs and coming top of Google for a search on dog baskets!!!

The point I was trying to make was if you dont have any backlinks your not going to get found by Google, no matter what you are trying to come up for.
So essentially, in my opinion, backlinks or at least one backlink is the most important thing.
What was the question again?

No you can do it without any backlinks if you submit directly to the search engines
what a great bit of backsliding you did use plural which is more than one in my book
But on a serious note links from the right sites are gold dust.
I have some from the NHS and Wikipedia which are probably worth 100's if not 1,000's from more mundane sites

Mandy I can see very little optimization on your site,so you may want to have a chat with someone.
Earl
Can someone please explain why my site is not optimised, my web designer asked for key phrases and we gave them. I cant expect him to know about our business and what search phrases should be used.
Does it have a backlink? I'm seeing him on monday, can anyone advise on any questions I should ask or perhaps tell him what i need for the site now.

p.s we are going to be paying approx £30 per month for the optimisation - not a lot i know.

p.s Thanx

It is very well optimised.
A few things could be done different, but like you say if they don't know
your business and your market, they can't be expected to get it all right.
I would go so far to say, it is one of the best new sites I have seen for a long
time.
Put another nought on the end of your monthly SEO budget to run your
link campaign for 6 months and your site should do well.

Things like "Furniture (Conservatory)" should be "Conservatory Furniture"
"Furniture (Garden)" should be "Garden Furniture" etc. etc.
You should also have made a couple of other categories
"Oak furniture" and "Pine Furniture"
Then, using this page as an example,
http://www.thefurnitureseller.co.uk/prods/291.html
Where you have the link saying
"View other items in the Breton Range"
You could have also had a link saying
"View other Pine Coffe Tables"
They would ultimately lead back to the same content pages, but it just gives
the engines another direct route to the content.

well at a guess I would say its about furniture
5 instances of the word appear on the index page title,Google and Co are not going to be to pleased with that

search engines have rules about certain aspects on how they rank sites 5 times the word furniture in your title will be considered spamming the search engine.

At first I thought "Yawn" - another SEO thread - but:
Web Design - Content/Copy - Great Offer - SEO:
These 4 things work in tandem. What do I mean?
1. You might have the best offer on the web - but nobody will find you - unless you are on P1 or using PPC. (You need SEO)
2. You are on page 1 organically, have a great offer, but still low sales ( You need copy writing, better site layout but no SEO)
3. You have 5 visitors per day but 4 orders (You have got the content, nav and offer spot on - you don't need anyting BUT SEO )
The point is - if you have a great product, presented well, at a great price - the sales will come and SEO will puch you into orbit.
If you have not got the first bit right then SEO is useless
e.g. - During wimbledon fortnight I take a full page ad in a daily broadsheet selling "strawberries for £25 a pot" for several grand
and my competitor places an ad in the London evening Standard or Wimbledon Local Rag selling "special offer on Strawberries - 50% off - Hurry - £1.99" - who wins - and who gets best ROI?

yep its a total minefield for people looking for SEO.
as I have said before who comes top in google for SEO is no indication of how good they are at getting your product to the top
