It looks good!
But perhabs you want to change the Alt-Tags with Computer and Screen in Keywords?

And youre Header looks very poor!

There are no Metatags!

Better do some Keywords, Describtion etc.

OK so use alt tags to get more keywords in I can see that but Meta tags? I thought Metatags weren't read by search engines so it was better to save the space, or have I got that wrong?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Yes you got that wrong! There are Meta Tags like expires etc. this wont be read and havent any effect.
But the Tags like Title, Describtion, Keywords Robots are more or less important and you should have them!

regards Frank

Now I am very confused here tyou say I should use Description & Keyword Meta tags but forums.seochat.com/t4355/s.html says not to use them??

The keywords tag you can certainly get rid of - I don't know about removing it improving your rankings, but it certainly won't hurt. None of the major search engines use the keywords tag any more, because in the past it has been abused by spammers so much. So perhaps they may penalise you for using it.

The description tag I would continue to use. While it won't help in your rankings, some SEs display the description in their results, while others just display the first part of the text, and Google shows text containing the search terms. As long as the description matches the content of the page - a basic summary of the page for example - I can't see you getting penalised for it.

So I would forget about the keywords tag, but keep using the description tag.

Just my 2 cents. :-)

What about the <Meta name=title> tag is this needed as well as the normal <title> tag.

Thanks,
Nick

oops that was supposed to be What about the Meta Title Tag is that needed as well as the normal title tag.

Thanks,
Nick

No - the Meta Title tag is unnecessary.

Google uses my description to index my site exclusively. Therefore:
Meta Description Absolutely Necessary

I don't seem to be able to get into your site at the moment - server down? You should always use META tags for Keywords and Description as there are still some SE's around that use them.
