Here's a little SEO Help
Hi,
I have finished my first joomla website not long ago, it has a page rank 2, which is not too bad, but would like to improve that. I have done a lot of research on SEO before designing my site, and tried to imply all the tips. Now I have been blogging about my site and putting some links in bby forums.
Is there anything else I should be doing to get more traffic?

Thanks.
Your site is good, but I found a few essential SEO items that could use some TLC.
After reviewing your website I noticed that your
Meta titles are way too long and are stuffed with the same keywords. The best practice is to keep your meta titles around 70 characters. Try to mix up your titles using multiple keywords, starting with the main keyword first. The first part or first word of a meta title is the strongest. Then from there on it gets weaker and at the end being the weakest.
Meta descriptions play the role for your readers and should be geared to get their attention to why they should visit your website compared to the other organic results.
**Current
Meta Description:
All Baby Advice for mums and dads on pregnancy and labour, maternity clothes, bottle feeding, breastfeeding, weaning, sleeptime, playtime, bathtime, prams, car seats, travelling, baby health and safety tips.
"Your meta description should have a
call to action and start with an action word"
Example: Find great baby advice for mums and dads about pregnancy, labor, maternity... etc.
I also notice that your anchor text links don't have
alt tag attributes. This will definitely help and your images should have relevant alt tags as well. Search engines read the alt tags as true text. I noticed that in your blog some of your images have duplicate alt tags and it would be best to make each one unique and relevant to their post.
That's all for now, but I hope this was helpful and gives you a good understanding of how a professional executes their SEO practices.
Cheers!
