SEO with synthasite

Yes, I saw that page and referenced it elsewhere on this forum! The most important thing you should take from that help page is the importance of getting other sites to link to you.

Google advises against placing hidden keywords on your site. You should write your pages for humans, not search engines. Did you follow my suggestion of adding descriptive keywords in the "Description" field in the properties sidebar for each page? This should allow you to add all the keywords you like without re-writing your site copy.

The other thing you can do to improve your rankings is to update your content frequently. When you write new copy, consider including keywords but always make sure your content reads well for your visitors.

I am glad you like the look of your site, and if you follow the suggestions on that help page your ranking will improve in time. There is no quick-fix as far as I know, but I trust that your perseverence will be rewarded.

Hi there

It certainly sounds like you have done your homework on this. I have asked our expert in this area to answer your SEO questions. Her answers will be much better than mine :-) I hope some other people will jump into the discussion as well.

Just an update on the Google Webmaster feature. The development work has been done and we intend to release this feature with our next update. We have been busy with some major infrastructure and design work, so it is taking a little longer than expected, but hopefully the new features will be out by the end of the month or early in July. But to make up for it we will have a few more features to help with SEO, like the ability to add Keywords, and Favicons. Keep an eye out for it.

As Monique previously mentioned, we pretty close to getting the Google Webmaster feature live, and the ability to add meta data to your site.

Until then, I can give you a few other tips that may help you out:

You should try and get the “.co.uk” registered for your site.
As you are targeting the UK market, Google will prioritize your site in Google.co.uk if you are on a co.uk domain.

Yes, it will be a good idea to change your pages titles as you did with your index page. Make the page title relevant to the specific content.

Another great way to create links to your site is to use Google's Blogger.com service to create a blog that is related to your business. Google likes blogs and many blogs are indexed very quickly. Write a few posts and add a link to your website in your blog posts. Google will quickly index your Blogger blog and find the link to your site.

As you don’t want to re-write your entire site, a possible solution is to add additional content to your site is to create an informational page for each type of tile that you specialize in. You can describe the advantages and disadvantages of using each type of tile and also the method that you as a company use to lay these tiles.

You can create links in the footer of your site to each of these pages and hyperlink to these pages from the references you make to each of these tile types on your index page. You can also link your relevant blog posts to those pages. You can also make references to the areas that you service like as this tiling provider has done: http://www.versatiletiles.co.uk/buy-t....

Make sure that you name your pages in such a way that they relate to the content on your page. For example: http://www.cmdceramics.com/granite-ti...

Unfortunately there is no getting around writing content. Google loves relevant, frequently updated content.

Keep us updated on things go. I hope that you find these tips useful. You can also visit www.webmasterworld.com. It is a great discussion forum about SEO and other methods of Search Engine Marketing.
