642689 2008-02-22 08:35:00 After all I have learned about having a site with content a new opposition who only has a home page for only a couple of months and nothing else is rated almost as high as mine. How do these sites with no content climb the ladder so quick? Ron Bakker (356)
642690 2008-02-22 10:48:00 Do you mean a higher rating in terms of page rank for the site or listing in a Google search for the same keyword that you search with? For page rank, if the site has inbound links from quality sites (i.e. with good page rank), then page rank generally goes up. This of course involves time consuming promotion in popular forums, social sites, quality comments on popular blogs/websites, web rings, directories and article submissions - anywhere where you leave your site link url. This approach increased the page rank for one of my sites.

Also tech savvy web owners get involved directly in link exchanges to "authority" sites or schemes (case in point was the extremely popular/authority john chow blog site) - some that might involve paying fees. This is known to quickly increase page rank - though at some risk from Google to those that charge for inbound links or from "link farms".

For higher listings on a Google search, often seo (search engine optimization) techniques are used - e.g. keywords related to your site content, keyword density, url titles similar to keywords, title descriptions, description content that are placed in the meta tags, etc. You can check the no. of inbound links to any site with Yahoo Explorer (siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/). Here's a list of web master tools (http:)to help analyze any site for seo rank, Google rank,keyword density, etc..

642691 2008-02-22 19:49:00 Ok two things i couldn't help notice

Your meta tags

you have all the brand names, but you are missing 2 little things that may help

spearfishing New Zealand, spearfishing nz,

Whilst meta tags aren't the most important things in the world they may help

New Zealand is mentioned only once on your page, and not on some of the others, also not a biggie but if people are searching for a site having NZ in there somewhere will help

Also with the Google site search, why give people the option to search the Net rather than just your site, remove the option, if your not sure how, we can help help you with that


Edit---------------------------------

do you have a sitemap?

642692 2008-02-22 19:57:00 Well here is the google search in NZ pages: Spearfishing
My site is ronsseacorner.co.nz .No malice intended to the other sites but oceanhunter only has a homepage and it's not far behind,diveski just below me has one page on the subject,axemen site is also very basic and not many links either.

642693 2008-02-22 20:09:00 Heres the link

www.ronsseacorner.co.nz (www.ronsseacorner.co.nz)

this will give you a link from relatively good page ranked site :cool:

Change the title of your Home page it's called Home Change it to Rons Sea Corner, (I am talking in the html code here i notice it's one of your editable sections i your template)

You do have a goodnumber of pages indexed in the main 3 search engines

follow the links

Google (www.google.com)
Yahoo (nz.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com)
Windows live (search.live.com)

Yahoo doesn't have any inbound (aka backwards links) links for your site showing as yet
Google does here (www.google.co.uk dex.htm)

A good thing to do is to do backwards links on your rivals and see where their inbound links are coming from

edit again---------------------------------

Also have you submitted you site to nzsearch, searchnz, open directory etc?
Morgenmuffel (187)
642694 2008-02-22 20:40:00 Yeah, as above, give your front page a proper title, eg Spearfishing in New Zealand.

Give each page it's own title, eg for Snorkels, title it something like Spearfishing in New Zealand - Equipment - Snorkels.

Change doctype to "strict"

Use better meta descriptions - each Description should describe the page, not the site as a whole.

Ask anyone you know who has a website of their own to link to yours. Even poor links are better than no links.

Do NOT subscribe to link farms!

Make monthly changes to your front page to keep the content fresh.

Want any more info... part with your roubles! :D

642695 2008-02-22 21:05:00 Some good fixes there guys, I shall get onto today. Thanks again. Hey Greg what does the change doctype to "strict" do? Ron Bakker (356)
642696 2008-02-22 21:40:00 It gives it better compatability to various browsers. In turn this makes it more search engine friendly. Greg (193)
642697 2008-03-09 06:43:00 Hey I have done a bit of work on my site and it's definatley improved on some words like spearfishing. Now I'm gonna work on speargun. Ron Bakker (356)
