with sugar on top?
My site can be found down there in my signature block. or here (http://www.psychicnoradevan.com/) I have been doing my best to optimize it but it's been somewhat tricky, knowing very little about it up until just a few weeks ago, and facing spammy competitors with sometimes less than scrupulous methods of getting noticed, it feels like an uphill battle.
Anyways so far here is what I have done:
-Changed my title to reflect keywords I am going for, psychic readings
-Tried to get some good keyword density in the text, bold, alt image, title on links etc. can't bring myself to work in some headers, they always look so weird :confused: but I will work on that.
- Worked on getting some backlinks, which is pretty impossible in this industry, they all want reciprocal and I end up linking to a bunch of crappy sites in the process. :rolleyes: I'm listed on a few directories but nothing to write home about.
- Content Content Content!!! That's my bread and butter, especially in comparison to other profesisional readers' sites, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference yet. It's a bit depressing because it seems pointless pouring all this energy into stuff if nobody ever sees it.
My site has been up since March and I was finished "perfecting" it and submitting it in early May, I am up to a PR 4, but still such a little teeny fish in a great big pond. It looks like even the biggest Psychic sites can't manage to squeak past 6, so I am guessing my keywords are too competetive maybe? I like a challenge... but one I can do! lol
Also if anyone has any comments on the way it is set up... is it too higgeldy piggeldy? I put everything in popup windows so the visitor would stay on the index page, but I am questioning that logic because as there is more stuff it seems unorganized...
Any ideas?
*addendum - I think I managed to pull off the table trick thingy. so scary....
