Just a little help needed

brettb · 02-07-2004, 05:46 AM

I am finding myself a little paranoid at the moment with the current Google situation. I just keep disappearing then returning and so on.
Business is bad.

Could one of you experts just take a look through my site www.storacingproducts.com and www.storacingproducts.co.uk just to make sure that everything how it should and i am not doing somthing really stupid.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, the major problem is a total lack of quality backlinks. Google only reports two backlinks. Then I suspect your site is not what is normally called search engine friendly. I say this because your internal navigation and menus all appear to be in Javascript. Google has a problem following javascript navigation and may not have crawled your entire site.

Have you ever run it through a spider simulator like Sim Spider? This will show you what the search engines see when thet crawl your site.

I'd reverse the order of your title. Put the keywords first and your comapny name last -- I doubt that anybody will search for your company name.

But back to my first paragraph. Get many many more in bound links.

Brett I am with Bob on this one. It is no big surprise why your site is suffering. But never fear, it is never impossible to fix. What is happening today doesnt mean its going to happen tomorrow.

You have some work to do on your site, but you have the first step done by simply ASKING for help. I would make some changes to your onpage copy, rework your backlinks and also fix the 23 code errors on your page. I only checked the mainpage for the errors.

Best of luck with it, got questions, just ask.

Thanks both of you for your help.
www.storacingproducts.com has 12 backward links at the moment. There was more a couple of weeks ago and i had a PR5. But this has dropped now to 4. I also lots of internal backward links but these no longer appear as they have been dropped to a PR3. I have joined www.linksmanager.com to try and get more links.

Really its the term "rc cars" that i want to improve on as we were ranked very high for this keyword before the florida update.

What are code 23 errors?

I am not reallt bothered about www.storacingproducts.co.uk that is just there as a second doorway page. My main issue is the .com site as this is the main daddy.

I think the problem may be that knowbody knows exactly what you are asking. I had trouble following the post from which th quote above is taken.

Is your real question different than your first question. I thought that question was answered.

Just curious? What do others think of the effectiveness and value of LinksManager.com?

Looks like hidden text in there. I'd ixnay that.

Hey,

I also have the links on my site running on javascript.

Basically, to deal with the issue without negatively impacting my display, I put some BS (paragraphs talking about how we have everything the customer needs, and linking to each item mentioned) at the bottom of the page that has simple HTML links to each of my important pages that I want indexed.

I admit it doesn't look really pretty as it is now, but for SEO it has really positive impacts. It allows me to have the links in the middle of keyword rich sentences, so they appear to be on topic (whether or not this helps is up for debate--but it appears to have worked for me).

Just a suggestion; it's how I dealt with the same problem.

PS: Once I made the changes, Google immediately crawled 4260 of my pages as opposed to like 7.
