    Your title is not:
    <title>Home</title>

    Home is a real estate title
    important to change that ASAP
    also add your description
    You may want to put all your analytics at the bottom of the page
    Remember, Google uses age to help in position
    also it uses fresh content (when you change pages or edit them,
    they count this as fresh content)
    You need to maintain a record of changes and effect (use your
    analytics - hopefully more than one)
    increase in traffic or decrease in traffic. If decrease either
    change back or make other changes. Also record position, change
    to effect that also. You want page "one" in Google. That takes
    effort, also to maintain it.

    Thanks for everything Falcon! I'll have a look at it over the next few days :)

    Thanks, but I don't think the translations are really good. I had a look at an example from Endlish to Dutch, and it's not really readable.

    Anyway, I have added meta keywords, changed titles and descriptions, and added more keywords to the index page.

    Could you give me that program you use to check the validity of keywords like you did in your post of 08.42 yesterday?

    Cheers,

    Bram

    <title>Discussourfuture for a structural sustainable planet</title>

    <meta name="description" content="discussourfuture is an
    initiative to bring people together to inform, discuss and act to
    create a sustainable planet for everyone. We extract more
    resources than our planet can offer and at the same time the
    global population and consumption is rising. Social inequality is
    increasing. The number of people living below the povertyline and
    the number of people that lack proper nutrition and clean water
    is even higher than 20 years ago and increasing. We pollute our
    air, water and soil. Wars are being fought over oil, and very
    likely about other resources in the future to come as well. We
    need structural change on a global scale " />

    Suggestions:
    Use scare tactics in your title - it works

    I have to think about that. It's not my cup of tea,but if you say it helps, I guess I just have to go along with it. What about <title>Discussourfuture: our planet is in crisis and in need of serious help</title>
     
  7. discussourfuture

    discussourfuture New Member

    Not fully sure I understand. This suggests that I remove "discussing" and "informing" from my meta keywords and add (if not already there) "planets", "water pollution", etc.?

    Cheers and thanks again!

    Yes, remove the words with very low count and replace them with words (that are appropriate) with higher count. Don't just use a word because of the count, but a word that describes the subject. Also make sure you use the same word in the body.
    -
    Also the idea is correct <title>Discussourfuture: our planet is in crisis and in need of serious help</title>
    But check the words first and use your best judgement
    Idea: check "planet" for popularity also check the "earth"
    also check
    "serious" vs "critical"
    (note: this is where a thesaurus can help - look up words that mean the same - synonyms - and use the best ones - after checking in a keyword tool)

    hope this helps

    You will notice scientific webpages do not follow the normal
    format (or SEO) that the private sector does
    (maybe because they don't worry about traffic)
    But it should give you some keywords and keyphrases

    NOTE: titles should be about 66 characters in length
    descriptions about 150 characters
    some search engines display a few more than Google
    We need popular keywords and keyphrases (we worry about traffic)

    Thanks for all of this again falcon. I have to carefully look at it because, as you say, the keywords should also show in the body text and I cannot simply change this :)

    I have changed the titles with a bit more scare tactics :)

    All the best,

    Tanks Falcon, I'll have a look at the description and keywords from your previous post. I do use GoStats indeed. Check it every day. Don't really know how to use them effectively like you say. Perhaps you could clarify this a bit more?

    For Stats you need;
    - number of visitors per page (have stats for each page)
    - Keywords they used to find your page
    - Time on page (to reduce bounce rate)
    - - Bounce rate (visitors immediately leaving page)
    - Whether they go to other pages
    - area they come from
    -
    -
    this information you need to improve your pages
    better keywords mean more traffic
    use analytics to check the effectiveness of your keywords
    record all your changes and their effects
    wait at least a week, better two, to verify the change effects
    change to improve - if not better, change back
    try one or two keywords at a time
    remember, changes help your position
    -
    Also submit to many search engines
    record when you submit and when you are listed
    if not listed after a month, resubmit
    -
    use Google Analytics to track your adsense campaign
    use their help to improve your conversions ($$$)
    it all is a slow process, but worth the effort
    -
    I will list other free analytics later and their advantages

    Thanks Falcon. I am on a terrible wireless connection at the moment, so I'll have to change it once I have a better connection, and than I'll also have a look at Free Stats.

    Pretty weird though because I think Google suggests to do the code it in the <head> section (I am refering to your previous post). But I'll definitely give it a try because I think you pretty much know anything about SEO :)

    Thanks again mate. Also for the tip of freesubmissions. It really increases traffic, especially from revisitors.com. Not sure how this works and if these are real interested people, but at least it gives exposure.

    Cheers,

    Bram

    Yes, Google suggests in the head portion, but I found it doesn't make a difference and it is easier to put in the bottom (where it isn't changed) than in the head where I change the information (I might make a mistake)
    -
    Also you can't build a house without tools or how to use them
    But many people build a website without tools (it shows)
    -
    Below is a list of webmaster tools. Select the ones you want to try.
    Many have duplicate tools (some are better than others)
    You will need tools to perfect your site. If you need any help, just ask.
