      The simple question, should I delete my footer or keep it. Visit TraxNYC.com

      I dont wont to give my personal opinion yet, just because I dont want to influence any answers.

      Delete it! - Explain why?

      Keep it! - Explain why?

      Good Luck!

        It won't hurt but your pages don't get too much link juice from the footer links and visitors probably don't read it either. It looks like keyword stuffing so I'd remove it and also because it has no benefit for your website's performance.

          I recommend you remove the footer due to the simple fact that it is blatant keyword stuffing. Instead write some focused copy for each category of your website that emphasis each of these items: e.g., write some content about diamong rings, a category blurb or paragraph, on the page that lists all of your diamond rings; write a bit of content for cross pendants on the page that shows you cross pendants.

          For the home page write some content that relates to diamond jewlerey. That way your keywords break down and get more focused the deeper you navigate into the site structure. Think about it like refining a search for a library book.

          General Topic -> Broad topic -> Specific Topic -> Sub topic

          I hope that helps!

            I would remove it.  It's not built for the reader and looks like keyword stuffing.

            FYI...on my browser (chrome) I am seeing that you need to scroll to the right to see the whole page.
