i know, the server crashed yesterday and was restarted some how 95% of the sites were ok mine and a few others have been erased for some unknown reason was hoping it would be back up today but its causing alot of problems with some advertising i have.

You're back online, hooray!

Question: are you interested in visitors via the search engines or do you get enough custom through advertising? The answer to the question will influence how the site is reviewed.

we are mainly on all forums etc is our main form or traffic. but we find a good bit comes from the search engines as the key words we have scattered arround the site get some traffic to the site, but i know more txt content will bring more in.

First up, I like the overall layout - the colours work great, navigation is fairly simple and the products easy to find.

Now the bad news. Because there is so little indexable text on each page the search engines don't have much to work with. You need to:

• Get rid of the image maps and use text navigation (or provide both).
• Write unique page titles and descriptions.
• Add some headers.
• Write more on page copy.
• Make your email address a 'mailto' link.
• Add larger images so customers can see the product details.
• Put your telephone number under each 'add to basket' with a message that they can call you to order directly.
• Write more content.
• Add 'alt' and 'title' tags to your images.

Each of the steps in themselves will only make a small difference but collectively they could catapault you up the rankings.

And you still need to change your whois record - it's got you down as a non trading individual.

A few ideas for you

I can see the site, but you are trying to hard to impress me with bandwidth usage. I don't like that. But, I guess your a step above Berodin Auto parts. so that is the game. I would prefer to see something more shop bland with a few clicks to pics..

Looks good for a can opener!
