- URL: http://www.clawdylawdy.dreamhosters.com/index.php?/building_series/index/
- Main Headline:
- Keyword phrase(s) to optimize for: vinyl record store
Basic elements of SEO to fix.
- Is the keyword phrase good?
Yes
The only thing I wonder is if people who want records are more likely to search for just "record store" than specifically "vinyl record store". - Where is the keyword phrase found?
not found; With a keyword density of: 0%
- How many links are there to the page?
0
I would start with pages that list record stores, and then move to sites that discuss vinyl records. It's important to get related sites to link to your site with the keyword phrase you're trying to optimize for. - When was the page last modified?
Unknown
Pages that are modified with significant content changes do well in search engines, but constant little changes can hurt your ranking.
- Does the page validate?
CSS - yes
It's important to write pages with valid HTML as that's easier for search engines to read. And when your pages are accessible, that means that the search engine spiders can read them as well.
Elements of SEO that can hurt your rank.
- Hidden content in
None Good! - URLs that are difficult to read
Parameters - yes
Having parameters can make it difficult to get indexed well, as search engines look at the URL without the parameters. So while you might get your home page indexed, any other page (loaded with changed parameters) might not get indexed and could affect the ranking of your home page. - Spammer tricks (that could get you banned)
None Good!
The first thing I would do is get the keyword phrase onto the page. Preferably in the title and headlines. I would add in some HTML headlines (H1, H2, H3, etc) and get the keyword phrase listed there. I would also get rid of the quotation marks in the meta title. Any punctuation in that title can confuse the spiders.
