First, sorry that my "Hulk Humour" may have fallen a bit flat - no plans to partner with Buckwheat ...

I've been lurking for quite some time, and have followed some of the hints/suggestions in seo guy's tutorial and from others - thanks for the excellent resources.

Didn't have any specific questions - I've done most of what is the obvious stuff - title tag, keywords in my inbound anchor text, keywords in H1 tags, etc. But I do this as a sideline hobby, so I was curious to get any advice from the SEO pros.

I'm targetting "Halloween Decorations" (and lights) which I am in the top-20 for (I've been using a home-grown tool for quite some time that does automated Google API queries, similer to the excellent work Shawn has done). I'm also targetting Halloween Webcam since I figure that is appropriate - see the anchor text in my first post! ;-)

Thanx,
alek (aka the Hulkster)

P.S. Thanx seo guy for the compliment on the lights - not as "brilliant" as 22,000 xmas lights were last year, but the Hulk adds a nice affect. User interface stuff is always challenging, so any comments on that (especially the operation of the webcam) are also appreciated.

Yah, more pages...

Hi Hulk,

BroadProspect hit it on the head.

Try breaking these pages up into 2-3 smaller ones, interlinked. You've got a lot of stuff on here. And that hulk image is a whopping 127 k. Try to get it a lot smaller. In my experience the whole PAGE should be down around 15-20k...

Finally, as a matter of personal taste I'd get that description tag to be a bit longer, and lose the weird characters before your page title.

Try it - I'll bet it's worth a couple spots...

Thanx for the hints guys - I'm not sure I want to break it up that much - better to have one "good" page than several "so-so" ones ... and the actual text isn't very much. I did JPEG compress the images a bit, but I'm fairly certain Google ignores the actual size of the images for SEO, so this is more a user-interface issue ... gotta balance out the slow dial-up users with a "resonable" image.

Here is the final 2003 Halloween Lights page - now it's time to get out my Christmas Lights! ;-)

alek
