This is the results of a Google search for "freebees freebies"
Note what is displayed on Google (both title and description)
-
-
Now the important question - is that what you want displayed and
if you saw that title and description, would you visit the site.
Upon visiting the site, what would be your impression ??
- Your opinion on navigation
- your opinion on layout
- Is there anything to draw you to return
(such as daily or weekly specials)
- what is your honest opinion on the ads (are you happy with the
results) what could make them better (position, color, type - text
or banner...??)
- would pictures of special items (changed regularly) help ??
- what audience are you appealing to ??
- Can the site be better presented for that audience ??
These are questions you should know
-
I know what my audience is (students)
I know what my most popular page is (mechanical/Hydraulics)
I know which page has the most conversions (Algebra) - with less
- than half the traffic of ("Mechanical/Hydraulics")
traffic doesn't always mean more conversions
-
Why does Mechanical/Hydraulics get more traffic ?
I know, and why does "Algebra" get more conversions ? I know.
-
You need to design your site for the audience
and you need to know the answers to these questions
-
Check your competition and see what they are doing and what can
you do to place better than they do.
-
I continually check my competition and constantly am improving my
site to stay (page #1 position #1) for my title keywords.
just changed the word "figures" to "shapes" for math (better
keyword position in keyword tool),and means the same in math. Now
will be checking if it produces better results.
-
Satisfy yourself first, then ask for help and use your best
judgment

Id recomend you get a google webmasters account and upload your sitemap, helps alot.

 

recent feedback

I was surprised to see the results after doing this. My most recent posts do not seem to be showing at all. Meaning a month of posts...I did have problems with google analytics not showing any recent posts...just old cached? ones...perhaps that will turn around after I continue using the SEO tool that I started this week.

Thanks for the help!

Sitemap

Currently have the google xml sitemap, Google news sitemap and the lipstick and rouge version for the website called PS auto sitemap (plug in in wordpress)...I do update it regularly even though it suppose to do it on its own...

this has been a frustrating point for me...as I see it verified in google analytics, but none of my recent posts ever show up even after refreshing them...whatever could be the reason for this??

my most active reads and rss feeds are Safety Tips/Recent Recalls...presently the freebies is drawing a host of vultures better known as spammers, hackers, etc...that I am utilizing Project Honey Pot on my site to beef up security and trap these suckers...will be nice to get back to regular postings instead of being Miss Security...

the 4 forums that were up are down until site is more secure...the gaming sites are getting hammered by content spammers (or were)...my freebie site had 18,000 + hits and over 1600 newsletter sign ups from spam cannibals...really discouraging that one cannot just a newbie websiter and make their daily posts...

thank you for the feedback and have a great day...will try resubmitting entirely to google and see if this helps...

I love this forum...the people are awesome.

In the journey to page wun (Englush is not my major) you will need to put
your most effective keywords within the first 100 words of the body of
your page. You will need to optimize each page separately (title, description and keywords), each should be unique and for that page.
Your most effective keywords for each page should be within the first 100 words. Your goal is to increase traffic (visitors) and page position. Each page can have traffic and position (the visitors do not need to go through the index, or main page). As the pages get better position, traffic will increase (both for the page and the overall site). That is why each page should be optimized as if it were the only page.
-
Security should be on pages visitors have access to change (ie upload to)
If they can only download, it is not a problem
Anytime they fill out forms (that is uploading, or access to that page) you need some kind of security (also to prevent them from accessing other pages from that page). Limit all access to your site to only what is necessary.

Perhaps you did not use CSS or it is not working properly because there is some problem with the layout of your website. Secondly the color scheme you choose is not attractive.

 

You are using style sheets
You may want to look into external style sheets

It may help

Security

Falcon

Awesome list of resources...I visit and do reading and research on the entire list...finding out the more I read the more I learn...LOL

have current honey pots on my site from Project Honey Pot..(its free
have a security IP banning implemented..a slow process as I check the blacklists from my visitor logs and then ban from there...

working through the list of known vunerabilites...chmod settings is one...but do not want to change them until I have a full understanding of the process...so more reading...

thanks for the awesome help Falcon...am currently focusing on getting sites secured before jumping into my usual high content of posts...priorities on security far out weigh current freebies.

have a super day and a million thanks for the help

Queenbee

I do not see anything on your web-site. Just a message that displays: "You Are Banned."

I am not sure how this was triggered as I do not have anything specific with a Firefox browser that I checked. If you have some sort of trap or honeypot you should revise its functionality in my opinion.

 

The message on Firefox "You are banned"
You are operational on Internet Exployer
Might want to clear up the problem with Firefox
I am sure it is a misunderstanding - explain your problem and they may help in correcting it

I don't know about IE, I don't use it for casual browsing especially entering sites the first time. All I posted is what I saw when I visited the OP's site with FF who requested feedback.

 

You were correct
she is banned on FF

 

I ran a Google check for:
"Firefox banned honey pot"
hope you find something that may help correct the problem
