Page Information:

  • Submitted by: Abdullah Al Rajib
  • Page Title: Drik - Images, Communication & Information Technology
  • URL: http://www.drik.net/
  • Main Headline:
  • Keyword phrase(s) to optimize for: Web design

Basic SEO Checks:

Basic elements of SEO to fix.

  • Is the keyword phrase good?
    Yes
    This is a fine keyword phrase. Lots of people search for it and it provides a good base of customers. The only problem with it is that it's fairly competitive which will make it even harder to get to the first or second page of results.


  • Where is the keyword phrase found?
    ; With a keyword density of: 0%
The phrase is found only in the keywords of the page - which most search engines now ignore.

Advanced SEO Checks:

  • How many links are there to the page?
    224
    This is a great number of backlinks - it's why your pagerank is already 6. However, in the results I saw, none of them link to Drik with the phrse "Web design". 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?
    Page does not have valid HTML, CSS, or accessibility.
    It's important that the page validate with HTML and accessibility. That will ensure that the search engine spiders can read the page.

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 recommend looking at the search terms that are already finding this page. A PageRank of 6 is a respectable PR, and changing the page might damage that. Instead, create an internal page specifically about Web design and get people who are already linking to you to link to that page with your keyword phrase.
