I see an affiliate site. I see words copied from thousands of similar sites. I see nothing unique that a search engine would want to take note of.

I'm sure you have used many of the hints and tipe in the videos but at the end of the day all you have is a copy of something that already exists.

So forget all about getting good results in the search engines, it is not going to happen unless all the other affiliate schemes disappear. Your traffic is going to come from offline marketing.

You could also clean up your code. Move the styles to an external style sheet and get rid of the structural tables. Make use of headers to break up the page, have a rethink of your title and description and add alt tags to your images.

I think you should search more and you can get more good quality and better infomative site. I'm also didn't see anything new in your site.

From a purely on-page optimisation perspective the site isn´t bad, you use HTML, the URLs are static and contain the targeted keywords, the meta data and body content is targeted... But nowadays the domain authority (off-page optimisation) is necessary to get some rankings, and that´s complicated to obtain if you don´t have any unique content.

Thank you for your feed back Elquicos...appreciate it.

Just one question, is tagging the headers as h1 or h2 significant?

When I tagg my header as h1, I can't seem to change the font size, style or center it. Each time I do that the h1 is deleted.

Please advice

Steven

You should do your styling in the CSS, not in the code of the page. Create one style in your CSS file that is a H1 with the size and alignment that you want and then apply where it corresponds.

stvnfu,

Moving your styles to an external CSS file will make the site tighter and easier to manage but it won't make any difference to the search engines as they igmore all mark-up during the indexing process. What they are looking for is a site that is informative and interesting, has inbound and outbound links and most of all is unique. If the bulk of your copy is similar to other sites offering the same product or service then google will usually ignore the newer site.

Very few of these types of sites succeed in the search engine results pages because a) they are all very similar, b) the keywords are too generic and c) there is no USP to make the search engines sit up and take notice.

I'm not saying you won't succeed, it's just that I would hold out much hope of getting a search engine ranking unless you offer something special.

The use of external CSS DOES actually make your code more Search Engine friendly. The reason is that the spiders don't go through the bundles of HTML code to get to the indexed codes. Font tags and tables make HTML code cumbersome, and hence it reduces the accuracy of the results. The use of external CSS files to determine the design attributes will make the HTML code cleaner and, therefore, more SE friendly.

Not quite. Wodges of code, javascript and others bolt ons will slow the spiders down a fraction of a second but I read recently (can't remember where) that google is very code tolerant. They will accept incorrect markup and HTML styles as long as the content is good. Note also that there is more than one type of spider, some index the document head, others look at the links, page content, images etc. I agree however that using structural tables is not good practice as they can destroys the logical page structure.

If you read the google guidelines they do not mention document coding anywhere.

Using an external CSS file will make reduce bandwidth but it won't make any difference to your ranking.

I am of course open to suggestions otherwise.
