Hi All,

For the last few months I have been optimising my site www.startwiththis.com

I have added meta title, description, keyword and revisit tags.
Got Page Rank 5
Submited to all of the search engines and have been indexed by them.
The text on my pages contain all the keywords i want search engines to pick up on.

The problem is that the search engine spyders cannot read any of the content on the site. You will see this if you type 'startwiththis' into google - only the domain name apears. Also non of the other pages except for the homepage are indexed so there must be something stopping them crawling my site.

It really frustrating because im sure i would get a good ranking if the search engines could only read my site. Does anyone have any ideas?!

Hello,

I noticed a few things you may want to check in to, although I'm not sure if they would improve your SEO.

1. On your front page you offer "Free! web statistics and search engine optimisation facilities"

I'm not sure if your spelling was intentional here, but I would never search for "optimisation". Try "optimization" instead.

2. Upon viewing the source of your page, I noticed approximately 20 pages of white space before your doctype declaration.

Maybe it's just Mozilla, but I wasn't able to replicate this anomaly with any other site I tested.

Best of luck,

Ok, clicked on the UK button to get to the site... I guess I got a cookie, cause I can't get that page again. If the main entry page does not have text links or picture links so the bots may find the other pages, they won't be indexed. You might be a good candidate to mod_rewrite to make your UK ... URLs more friendly. Don't know about the .CFM files and bots.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will try getting rid of some of the white space and doing a mod_rewrite on the links - and will see if that helps.

Any more suggestions, let me know

'optimisation' is the UK spelling

I can see the white space on IE also.
I think that's the reason Google didn't take the title and the descriptions.
