Basic SEO Checks:

Basic elements of SEO to fix.

  • Is the keyword phrase good?
    Yes
    This is a great keyword phrase. If you wanted, you could also work on optimizing for "visual basic tutorials" which fits your topic and doesn't adulterate the two-word phrase at all.


  • Where is the keyword phrase found?
    Title, H1 headline, First paragraph, H2 and H3 headlines, Emphasized in the text, URL; With a keyword density of: 8.55%
This phrase is found all over this page, which is great. But often it's found with the extra word "(VB)" emphasized along with it. This can affect how search engines see the term on the page.
Advanced SEO Checks:
  • How many links are there to the page?
    74
    It's important to get related sites to link to your site with the keyword phrase you're trying to optimize for. A lot of the links are from the same base site "Free Tuts" which won't help as much.


  • When was the page last modified?
    November 20, 2008
    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. Accessibility and valid HTML are especially important for search engine spiders to read the page.

    None Good!

Other SEO Thoughts:

You have clearly done a lot to get this page optimized for the keyword phrase. This keyword phrase is very popular, and so to rank high for it, you're going to need to do some work on backlinks. You've already got a lot, but you'll want to go to the sites that rank #1 in engines and ask them for links to your site. You need to improve your Google PageRank - 3 isn't bad, but the top ranked sites have PageRanks at like 5, 6, and 7.
