hi thanks very much for the replys.

i have signed up to google adwords around 2pm today, i just checked my stats and apparently my ad was displayed 19417 times already with 5 clicks to my site. i will see how it goes for the month or so.

with regard to anchors, do mean to anchor each sub heading on a page that i want as a keyword. do you mean anchors as in the target from a link?

i will trawl through all the points over the next few days and see what happens

thanks again

matt

one other question. would a link in my forum signatures work for inbound links?

 

[mattux]

how do you suggest it generates the bit underneath the title then DJ? you know, the couple of lines underneath the title in the SERPS listing.

yes 1 of my serps comes from the meta description but another page that i had not yet put a meta description in has a part of a paragraph pulled from the content.
so if its there google will use it otherwise it will grab a bit of content with relative keywords it would appear.

im not sure about meta keywords cos i never had any meta tags at all but i still get on the first page of yahoo compared to page7 and 10 to google. i have put them in now so will be interesting to see what happens

also inbound links from sites that google may have banned surely cannot harm you. if this was the case i could get myself banned from google and put a load of links to ocuk and watch it slide down googles serps no?


anyway thanks for all the help

It depends on the amount of inbound links from these 'bad neighbourhoods'. Only if it trips a certain percentage of your inbound links will google penalise you. If the link is reciprocal google will also try to work out if your part of a link farm, which if they think you are you'll also be penalised.

Have a read of seomoz - brilliant site.

Also, post a link to your website here so we can see how much work needs to be done to give it decent SEO - it'll also give you a free inbound link!

hi fini thanks for info

i will be redesigning and moving to xhtml and css as it is copied from a word doc using tables, but while it is just sitting there i wanted to increase its position with the major search engines.

thanks for all the help everyone

i have moved up in the serps already on some keywords that i was page 10 now within page 4 and up so looking good already .

although some serps i have dropped 1 or 2 places, this could be due to other sites getting crawled after mine though i presume.

fini if you read this mate... 5.Try to have some external links so the site looks more useful to google... by this do you mean links from my site to external sites or external sites linking in?

i am trying to get more inbound links but i dont want it to look like ive gone on a spam mission.

cheers
