Request for feedback www.robot-japan.com
Hi Members,
I stumbled onto your site (searched it out actually) and have been hooked ever since. Everyone here has provided some great assistance and ideas. Could I please get feedback on optimizing www.robot-japan.com ? My current plans include a sitemap and a revised "cover page". Thanks in advance!

Ok, I just saw a useful FAQ for http://validator.w3.org I see I have some work there. -blush- I found it suprising that it suggested alt tags for my main pictures (it looks like one graphic, but is chopped up).

Don't overdo the W3C, it doesn't (necessarily) help for SEO. Only use ALT attributes if they serve a purpose (either to explain an "unseen" picture, or to put in a couple of keywords* for SEO)
I noticed your title is very long, so it's not optimised for a particular keyword phrase. To overcome this "dilution", you should shorten it to about 6 words and put your main keywords in front. But try to keep it a normal phrase, something catchy to draw visitors from the serps. Also, you have NO header tags (H1, H2 etc.) Get some on your homepage and put your keywords in. Try not to make them look spammy though. You could put (some of) your links inside H tags, that should work. You can make them look "normal" again using CSS. Start on these things, they are the most effective on-page methods. Cheers. *don't stuff: that looks silly and might actually devalue the keywords P.S.: what's with the <meta name="keyword1, keyword2,..." ...> ? Do you really think that will work, or is that an extended typo?  Last edited by Wit : October 15th, 2004 at 05:29 PM. Reason: P.S.

Thanks Wit! Indeed you found a typo. I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad you clarified the ALT tags on the images, because I just added them to my "buttons" however doubted they would be useful for other images.

P.S. By "H tags" I assume you mean header tags, right? I am not that familiar with CSS. I hear that it means cascading style sheets, is that right? Maybe I've used it and never understood the term :-?

Yup, H tags = H1, H2 etc.
CSS (Cascaded Style Sheets) or even STYLE attributes can really benefit a site. They can make the code more compact, structured, and "keyword dense". There are lots of online tutorials if you're interested. CSS take a bit of experimenting though when you first make the change

hmm... well, the good news is that your site looks cool. I like your graphics. BUT the bad news is there is hardly enough text to get you ranked for any search terms. And the text you do have appears to be very spammish and you run the risk of being penalized for this.
I highly suggest you totally redesign your index page and use less graphics, much much more REAL text. Don't just slap up some random text with your keywords. Make some real sentences to tell your visitors what your site is about... Also, on all pages within your site, include a link back to your homepage. Include your main keyword in the anchor text of the link. For example, if you were optimizing for the keyword Japanese Robots, then your link should look like this: <a href="http://www.robot-japan.com">Japanese Robots Home</a> But remember that onpage optimization will only make small rises in your rankings... It's the OFF page optimization (getting links from other websites) that will make the big difference. Brad

I completely aree that I need to rework the index main page (yes, it's too spamish). So, from what I hear you suggest making it more text and hypertext intensive. I'll do that, but still want to have some good graphics. Isn't it such a fine line! Make it look good.....or make it searchable. Then I'll add the back-links. I didn't even think of that. I guess my "home" button isn't good enough, right? You suggested hypertext ... Finally I got three more external webpage links. I'm having the darndest time getting them to use Hypertext links with words.  Oh well.. How many of these external links should I shoot for? 10, 50, hundreds? Thanks. Ed www.robot-japan.com

Hi Ed, it all depends on what keyword you're targeting here. I would suggest getting hundreds. You'll need to analyze your competitor's backlinks in order to know which websites would be good link partners. Use software to do this for you. There is no need to do all of that work manually. It takes forever. And yes, definitely use textlinks as your navigation links... Make sure you use your main keyword in the text link(s) pointing back to you homepage. And don't point that link to index.html. Point it to http://www.yourdomain.com Brad
