How to get an online store ranked

[onlinemktg1]

Hello,

The question is how to get SEO traffic to www.misslovegirls.com [staff warning: this is a lingerie site and may be not safe for some viewing situations]

The only editable info we have on the pages is in the Meta Keywords and Meta Description on each page.

Goal to get search engine traffic to the site.  Any suggestions?

Thank you!

So you can't change anything on the page itself that the user would see, such as product descriptions? What is the source of the content on the site itself? Is the content duplicated across other sites? Is it a technical issue, or a political issue for not being able to change the content?

Keri,

Yes, it's a duplicated site.  All they give us permission to edit is the meta description and meta keywords for each product.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Honestly, my first suggestion would be to try a different client. They're really limiting the amount that you can do here. Meta keywords are generally not worth your time. Meta descriptions can be written to help entice clicks via a search result page, but you first need some good content so that the search engines will want to show that page in the results or that you can get quality links to these pages.

Thanks.

Even off page items wouldn't work?

Thanks!

By off-page, do you mean link building and the like? You're going to have a tough time getting quality links if you're not allowed to work on the content. I'd take a second look at the client and consider if it's going to be worth your while with the restrictions you've been given.

Would it help if you had your client read the Beginner's Guide to SEO at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo to let them know why you need to be able to change things?
