Hi Guys,If you can please help.

I am trying to use OSE for the site www matesratesuk.com it tells me there is 177 link and it is showing 1-26 of these but I cannot seem to locate the others. Am I possibly doing something wrong oris it because all these links are internally linked.

Im not sure.

Thanks for Looking,

Craig

Thanks Sanket,

Craig

Yup its failing bigtime on content, we didint actually design the site. I personally think it;s a bit too in your face with the images. Some great point though, will look for that plugin.

Thanks Kelly.

Hey Guys,

I am about to begin to optimise this site www.stuartandersonkitchens.co.uk for some keywords such as edinburgh kitchens, quality kitchens edinburgh etc as he is based in edinburgh.

I am also going to be doing some work behind the bones of the site optimisiing alt, meta data, micro data etc.

Also I am thinking about creating a FB, Twitter, Youtube profile and possibly adding him to a few directories (DMOZ etc), some local & running a small adwords campaign using the freebie credits.

I will be altering some of the content in order to have it more amicable to the engines.

Is there any other advice anyone would like to give me, where I could improve in order to have him seen on the search engines.

Be great to here your take on this.

Thanks again,

Craig

Its qute simply a FREE 3 page website, obviously as a start up agency we are looking to attract traffic and customers, so this is why we would be doing it.

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

I am thinking about running a competition on my website in order to drive traffic to it, however the regulations that govern competitions around FB are convoluted to say the least. I am under the impression that I can advertise the competition on FB by direct them to an external site.

Does anyone have any experience with this and can guide me, so I dont burn a well established Social Profile with over 2,200 connections?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Kind Regards,

Craig

Thanks Super, the domain is next on the list.

Hello,

This is what one of my developers actioned to combat the same problem, I'll post what he sent me see if it makes sense to you. You might need a more thorough explanation, let me know and I'll have him respond to yo when he wakes up!!

"My approach to this was writing what is called an .htaccess file that asks the server to transform or (more appropriately) rewrite the URL http://www.fenwaymedia.co.uk/design so that scripts can access http://www.fenwaymedia.co.uk/index.php?page=design. In addition to this, changes were made to the code itself so that links on my site use the cleaner URLs."

Let me know if this makes sense.

Hi Kristy,

The first thing I would do would use the tool here called Open Site Explorer and or use link:yourdomain.com to check all the sites linking to your site. loosing domain authority could be for a number of different issues but one could be some bad or non relevant links linking to your site. I would also use Google webmaster tools just to check the general health of your site and request a SEOmoz Crawl of your site. All of this data combined will give you a good starting point to what might be going wrong. I see you have a google page rank of 2 at the moment, what was it before?

Hope this helps.

Kindest Regards,

Craig

Hi everyone,

I found this site and it looks like a great place for us to start, we have just opened the doors to our new website fenwaymedia thats a dot co dot uk. Now Ihave tried to maintain the most minimilistic design throughout but I believe with this comes certain drawbacks -  - - - S E O which is why i am here. My thought were that I would draw my clients from the Web Design, web Marketing & Blog page which I will starting in 3 hours be constantly updating. but Im not sure Im doing the right thing.

I am trying to target Edinburgh, Scotland although we would take work from anywhere, if anyone could spare us a moment, I would greatly appreciate any help, tips or comments that might help us attain some visibility.

Thanks in advance and thanks for looking.

Kind regards,

Craig
