http://www.samcabrera.net/emma/
 Hello, there! My Emma Thompson website used to be ranked 3 or 4 in Google's page rank but I missed the renewal date of my old domain name, samcabrera.com, and somebody bought it up while I wasn't looking because my old webhosting company didn't do its job properly (they were suppoused to renew it automatically and charge me for it). Now, my old url points to some web directory and my page rank has vanished. I have got a new domain name, www.samcabrera.net, and I am looking for tips to get back some of the page rank at http://www.samcabrera.net/emma/. I haven't been able to contact every single webmaster who used to link back to us to change the url (in most cases because they are no longer updating them or because I don't know who they are), so I have lost many inwards links to my website. My new webhost has given me a £25 pounds voucher for google adwords that I am using to get some exposure, but once the money from the voucher is gone, I am not going to continue to pay for Google adwords. The principal keywords for my website are, of course, "Emma Thompson", but if you type this in Google (even thought it has been crawled) my website does not turn up anywhere near the first 50 pages, which is as far as I bothered to look. Could you please review my website and give me some tips to get a free good page rank again? Anything is better than 0 out of 10! I would be very helpful for any help you can give me. Thank you in advance for your time, Samantha Cabrera Díaz Last edited by atenea : August 14th, 2004 at 10:16 AM.

You should ask for compensation or a refund from your old host. Will have a look at the site Dan Last edited by ih8google : August 14th, 2004 at 10:52 AM. Reason: mis read pre~ post

I had a little look, and have a few comments.
I would duplicate the index page the flash content by writing it in html and placing it below the flash to help search engines read and follow links in your site. I'd also remove the page that offers the choice between English and Spanish and just link to the Spanish version from the top of the English version and vice versa. Try to flatten your structure as much as possible - as a guide every page should be a maximum of 3 links from the index page (or wherever the inbound links are landing). On lower level pages you seem to have used h2 and h3 instead of h1 and h2 headers. I'd alter that. Titles are reasonable, and you seem to have a lot of content. Most important thing for you to do it try to get as many inbound links as possible. See http://forums.seochat.com/t14077/s.html and the other link related content on SEO Chat for more info.

Thanks for the tips, Vord!
I have thought for a while that maybe it would be better to get rid of the page that offers the choice between English and Spanish, as you suggested, but I was a bit reluctant. I guess that the English part is the most popular, so I have finally taken the plunge and place the index in English as main index. I have also altered the headers a little bit. I did't want to change all of them, because the fonts would look huge. Now I just need to wait for Google to come back again, I guess! Again, Thanks a lot!

You don't need to put up with the ugly big headers - paste this CSS in to your code in the <head> section:

You can mess around with the font sizes to suit. THen go get those links and you'll do well.

good luck with the SEO techniques, just my two cents though. When the Page it viewed in Mozilla half the text on the index page is overlapping the background image, therfor making it hard to read. you might want to do something about that

Yes, I had noticed this before, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today, when I was playing around with Dreamweaver and the content tables of my templates. I think it's ok now, it looks exactly the same in Moxilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. Please let me know if you see any overlaping while using any browser.Love, Samantha
