Page Information:

Basic SEO Checks:

Basic elements of SEO to fix.

  • Is the keyword phrase good?
    Yes
    This phrase is fine, but most of the sites I found using it tended to focus on tutorials for specific types of jewelry. Like wire jewelry, make your own jewelry, etc.


  • Where is the keyword phrase found?
    ; With a keyword density of: 0%
I couldn't find the keyword phrase anywhere on the page. It needs to be included in the meta title, the h1, h2 and h3 headlines (there were none), the first paragraph of text, image alt text, in the URL, link text, and other places on the page.

Advanced SEO Checks:

  • How many links are there to the page?
    0
    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?
    April 4, 2008
    April is a long time ago now. Updating the page only once or twice a year is not enough. 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
    Making the HTML validate and the page accessible will make the page easier to ready by search engines.

Negative SEO:

Elements of SEO that can hurt your rank.

  • Hidden content in
    None Good!


  • URLs that are difficult to read
    None Good!


  • Spammer tricks (that could get you banned)
    None Good!

Other SEO Thoughts:

I would separate each tutorial out to a separate page. Then optimize each of them for their specific tutorial type. Then you can make this page a list of content describing the tutorials you offer and linking to each one separately.
