Be Gentle!!
Hi, This is my first website and has been up for about 9 weeks. I have been really pleased with the results so far but i know this is to the untrained eye! I have built the site with shopfactory and learnt everything i know about seo from seo chat (many thanks) so please let me know what you think all constructive critism will be well recived. Not very happy with speed if viewed on 56k modem but unsure what to do about it. Many Thanks in advance

site looks somewhat plain but is decent. the biggest problem i noticed is that you used frames, which are typically considered a seo no no.
also consider pulling as much java off the source file as possible and making it a different file by calling for it from your web pages |

Hi there, Using frames is a no no because: - In simple terms, The search engine robots that go out looking for info cant get to the text on the page. You could use the no frames tag to put some text and relevant links in but in general please don't use frames. If the search engine spider finds your key words and phrases in the title, description, keywords and in the body of your page you will soar up the listings. I still see websites that have been designed by so called webmasters an web designers and the page title is "untitled" or "homepage" or company xyz.
I will send you some stuff either by pm or e-mail with the basics of seo, I am in the process of writing some in depth stuff on the subject, hope it helps. |

Hi there,
Is it me, or has your domain actually got a kind of "hidden" Pagerank? When i click the link, i see a very brief PR3 on the Googlebar... but then suddenly, and very quickly, it vanishes to a PR0... is there some kind of forwarding going on? Or perhaps it's to do with loading a frameset or something? Just thought id point that out Baz

Kick that Shop-System away!
Have a look at the Source-Code: There is an Java-Script redirect and you also have set Links to Shopfactory, you gave them PR directly from youre Mainpage. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><html lang="en-gb" dir="LTR"> <head> <title>Buy flags-The Flag Shop.co.uk</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

Firestarter, A couple of people have mentioned this but i am a complete novice, not code savy, and unsure of how to go about it.
Is the java effecting my page rank |

This Java-Script is similar to Doorway-technique, but at the moment Google cant read Java-Script - that means at the Moment there is no Problem to use this - but better do out the Links to Shopfactory and the other Sites, that not belongs to you - dont spend them youre PR - because if you give them Links from youre Mainpage all of youre other Pages will miss some PR.
If you need help to do this just let me know - in can do it for you |

I agree with awall19.
Frames are a no-no typically because search engines cant get the info they need when you use them. If you must use frames, then make sure you use the <noframes>tag so that all browserws can access your information Also agreed with with awall19 is putting your javascript off the source file, and calling it from your web file due to the fact that spiders cant read javascript at the moment! |
