Basic SEO Checks:

Basic elements of SEO to fix.

  • Is the keyword phrase good?
    Yes
    This is a great keyword phrase. It gets a lot of searches and the results are not prohibitively competitive.


  • Where is the keyword phrase found?
    Title, H1 headline, First paragraph, H2 and H3 headlines, Image alt text, Link anchor text; With a keyword density of: 4.02%
There is a lot of great use of the keyword phrase on this page. I would look to emphasizing it in the text, perhaps with strong or em tags. Also, while the URL has the phrase, sometimes the dash (-) doesn\'t look like a word delimiter, so it\'s better to use underscores (_).

Advanced SEO Checks:

  • How many links are there to the page?
    9
    There are 9 links to this page, but they are all from the same site. While this can help, you\'d do much better by getting links on other sites using your keyword phrase.


  • 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.
    There are some very serious validation problems on this 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:

My first focus would be on getting the HTML to validate. There are some serious issues with the HTML (such as a missing /head tag) that can cause the search engine spiders to be unable to spider the site. After that, I would focus on backlinks. Ask people to link to your rain barrel page, preferably using your keyword phrase. Best backlinks come from related sites that have as high or higher Google PageRank as your site has. This page has a PR of 3.
