Greetings to everybody on the Business Circut.

I would like to offer some free advice on getting your website or fanpage in google's search pages as highly ranked as possible, in a way that you can do yourself as a business owner/manager.

If anyone has any questions on this subject, and if I get some requests, I will consider writing an article on the subject of SEO. The SEO positioning is a tricky little fellow, and changing all the time, hence the need to keep a heads up all the time.

So, people, if there is enough interest, I would be happy to oblige,

All the best,

Gray Hammett :thumbup:

Hi

Great to have you on board at Business Circuit. I would be very interested in your subject as I have recently set up a business, and have given myslef a basic web presence through Vistaprint. Although there is an SEO tool on the site dashboard, and I am allegedly 96% optimised, I am struggling to find myself on any searches.

I look forward to seeing more information from you about SEO.

Kindest Regards

I didn't know VistaPrint did websites, we have used them many times for printing.

I am no expert on SEO but have had some good results myself. It can take a long while for Google to rank pages high, especially when it is a competitive market. The age of a site does make a difference, the older the site with good SEO has more chance of being listed near the top.

A couple of things for you to look at, the first is a keyword cloud tool. This tool looks at your page and tells you the words used the most. http://www.webconfs....ity-checker.php on your home page the keyword 'energy' is used 22 times and has a density of 11%, try and get this down a bit - keyword density should be 7% or less, some people say 3 or 4% is better.

Take a look at what Google sees on your page http://www.ongsono.c..._google_see.htm This takes out all the images and also your header as it is a image. As you can see your business name is now not seen until the second paragraph. You should include this first as a H1 header.

One thing that Google sees on your web page is some keyword text near the bottom, which I believe on your site is black writing on a black background. Google does not like this it is know as a black hat trick. Try to incorporate your keywords within the text.

These are just a few pointers for you and there are probably lots of other things which may need to be looked at, but I hope it helps.

Regards

Also pleased to meet you Paul. I have had a sudden upturn in workload so am not able to finish writing the SEO report as yet.
My priority lies with my clients for now.

I will complete it tho' as I think a lot of people would benefit from it.

All the best,

Gray Hammett
