Hi also to lilraver, marsie44 and pchallana. Welcome.

Hi Ko. Welcome to the forum.

Do you really want to steer your client in that direction? Google hates popups and Surfers hate them so much, they'll pay to block them.

Congrats on your PR3 PureDezigner. It looks like you put a lot of work into that. Now for the bad news.... You have 462 links pointed to your site. Out of those 127 of them are "nofollow", which means they bring you no benefit at all. Zip. Whats worse is that out of the 335 links that "are"...

IMO using <h3> tags for SEO has minimal value. On the other hand it wouldn't hurt you,

There's a period of time from a few days to a week that a new site will rank high in Google. In the SEO industry it's called a "honeymoon period", after which the site will be relegated to the depths until you get some incoming links. You also may find the site somewhere in the index one day and...

Post the URL. I'll take a look.

Other than the fact that your site is hosted on a "free hosting" subdomain, you have almost NO text (spider food). You need to have links pointed to your site from other websites. I haven't submitted to a search engine in over ten years and I have no trouble at all getting sites indexed within a...

Well... yes, in that a higher PR will probably indicate more incoming links. The more links you have to your site from other sites the more spiders will reach your site. Hence the updates will be found sooner. Usually there's a time lapse of a few days to a week "after" the new cache (at least...

Hey schimis. Welcome to the forum.

Ah! You mean like people who post erroneous remarks about SEO? 3dmagicaldesign has posted tips that have merit and are done in a "positive manner", and I'm sure he/she would be open to rational discussion. That's what forums are all about. Attacks or insults really have no place in a forum, any...

General directory submissions are certainly not going to get you tons of traffic, however they DO have a purpose, and they are free if you do them yourself and pretty inexpensive if you outsource them. Niche directories will garner traffic, but for most industries are far and few between. As I...

I would suggest that you well know the answer to that question. Otherwise why the highly targeted links in your sig? Here's another good example of SPAM! No contribution to the forum, but as many keyword phrase links as you can stuff in the sig. You're both lucky that I'm not a moderator here.

I would think that there are more people searching for "3d architectural renderings" than for "3d architectural tours". According to Yahoo you have about 120 IBLs. The #1 site in Google for "3d architectural renderings" has over 1000 IBLs and the #2 site has over 2500 IBLs. If you submitted to a...

Right you are, although for SEO purposes "alt tags" are way down on the list. Nevertheless, if you follow the "Every Possible Advantage" school of thought (and I do) it certainly won't hurt you unless you overdo it. I get to those when I do the code adjustments for SEO. That way I can come at...

I'm glad that everything is working out well for you. Does that mean that your site is ranking highly in the major search engines for the terms you want to be found for? Nice site you have there, however the link in your sig takes me to the web design page and I can't seem to make the links to...

With the latest Google update (Not the PR update) which may put a bit more emphasis to "on page factors", the fact remains that inbound links (IBLs) still seem to be the major ranking factor, and this is true to a noticeable extent with Yahoo and MSN also. The more IBLs you have with the correct...

That did the trick. Thanks Shean.

Well I'm a new member today. I came here for help with a design problem I'm having. The reason I got here is because this forum ranks #1 in Google today for the term "web design forum". Most of my computer time is spent on SEO. If you design a beautiful site and put it up on the web, you won't...

Well... Sort of. Although there are some really good tips in the above post, the fact is that spiders follow links. If your site has links pointing to it from other sites that are frequently spidered, then the spiders will follow those links to your site. The more links you have pointed to your...
