1316405 2012-12-13 04:03:00 Wow my site is now half way up page 1 on Google.Com

Must be either my content or all the hits from you guys.

Just need to get an Alexa rating now!

1316406 2012-12-13 04:40:00 You mean your site ranks for the query/key term "proud to be kiwi" ?. Have you checked the number of NZ and global traffic for that query term in Google's keyword tool? You will know if hits are from this forum (i.e. us), if you check referals in Google Analytics (GA), and any specific search term (s), and popular content landing pages, etc. Have you installed GA?

Page rank, a measure of authority, status, etc in Google's eyes, is also an important metric for a web page.

1316407 2012-12-13 20:23:00 Just noticed - your menu is not consistent on each page. This makes it awkward to navigate, with a user having to go to the home page to then select a different area of the site. Where you have page-specific menus (like Shopping), perhaps you should consider using a drop down menu (from the "Shopping" link....

Also - you still have some blue background on the Financial page...

Yes, well spotted thanks.
I was hoping to get away from having to code drop down menus, as I would then have to find out how to do them.
Do you think people will look at the options in a drop down menu ?
I will try to tidy it up

And I'll fix the blue background right now

I do want to make text links much better, at the moment some are purple and some are underlines, I think a nice blue would be good.

1316409 2012-12-13 21:49:00 There are lots of sites with examples, tutorials and free code - go crazy, have fun!! :) johcar (6283)
1316410 2012-12-13 23:59:00 Yes, thanks for that Johcar.

I probably have a lot of that stuff downloaded or bookmarked.

Its a question of time getting round to it, and trying to get more content up and work and time etc etc.

Thanks for the encouragement.

1316411 2012-12-14 00:04:00 Another suggestion: Perhaps change your PressF1 profile so your website link redirects to your site, currently it tries to go to 'www.dareme.co.nz which doesn't exist. Agent_24 (57)

Thanks for that, I'll do it right away.

1316413 2012-12-22 21:08:00 More good news!

My site is now number 7 on page 1 of Google.com

The funny thing is that the second ranked site has a domain that is for sale.
That shows how good Google search is at the moment.

I'd like to buy that domain.

And I am working on a drop down menu, but it is not easy as I am trying to do it with html and css only (no java)

Hope you're using the :hover pseudo-class and position: absolute ;)
