Problems getting listed on Google - what is wrong with site?

[Azam.biz]

My friend has this online toy store. It has a fair number of inbound links, but he's getting very little traffic from Google. It's doing OK in MSN and Yahoo, but despite significant endeavours, it is not getting anything like prominent listings in Google.

The issue I think is Netobjects fusion. I have done SEO on a lot of sites, but not with one using Netojbects. If you view the source code on any page at hibba.co.uk you will see that Netobjects creates a lot of bloated code which Googlebot will not like.

Has anybody had success in getting Netojbects generated sites to rank highly? What techniques did you use to circumvent the bloated source code on pages please?

Many thanks.

Can help, and with some good keywords in your page, you can rank.

Your site already has a good PR so all you need to do is optimize your site for search engines - you should have done that long before.

If you select right keywords, and optimize your website for those keywords, your site will get organic traffic from the search engines. Small changes made in the keywords can have a great impact on the traffic.

Use the following tool for your keyword research

For example the keyword 'Educational toys' is very competitive, so difficult to rank high in search engines for that keyword - it is better to use a longer phrase relevant to your site - e.g. 'educational wooden toy'. Similarly 'kids toys' can be replaced by 'kid toy store' and so on.

Also your site has lots of code which pushes down your text content. Try to move your text content to the top as much as possible. You are also using images and tables for your menus at the left - which is not good for search engines - You can achieve the same effect with hover text menu which is search engine friendly.

Yes keyword research is very important to find targetted keywords once you have targetted keywords then just build links using the keywords in the anchor text, if you dont know how to find proper keywords the just hire someone.

So many keywords in title. I would use text instead of using picture on right side of page.
