Google ranking

[Azz]

Hi all,

First post so be gentle.

I am after some advice on googles page ranking and my website. Hope this is the right place for it.

Basically I am trying to get my website listed on the first page for certain keywords. I have links from various decent websites, and I think I have made my website google friendly, but it still doesn't rank very good.

Obvisouly I can't post a link yet. Any advice would be great.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hello Aaron, first of all please let me welcome you to the UKWW!
You are right, currently you can not post a direct link but you could share with us the URL as a string. Please, do not forget to let us know the certain keywords as well.

Ok, just from a quick look at your site I see the following problems but they all have a simple fix.

Your Title....

<title>AzzTech Computer Services - The complete solution to all your PC related problems in Birmingham, Solihull and surrounding areas</title>

That could be written a lot better than it is. perhaps something like....

<title>AzzTech PC Repair Services | The Complete Computer Services Solution In Birmingham,Solihull And Surrounding Areas</title >

Your description tag looks like this....

<meta name="description" content="PC Repair Solihull, PC Repair Birmingham, Computer Repair Solihull, Computer Repair Birmingham, Computer Help Birmingham, PC Help Birmingham, Computer Support Midlands, Computer Support Birmingham, Computer Support Solihull, Birmingham Computer Repair, Solihull Computer Repair, Birmingham Computer Repairs, Solihull Computer Repairs, Virus Solihull, Virus Birmingham, Spyware Solihull, Spyware Birmingham, Data Recovery, Broadband installation solihull birmingham, pc health check solihull birmingham, Online Backup, Remote Support">

For a start that just looks stuffed with keywords. Actually, your title description would probably suit your META description better.

Look at gathering back links with your selected keywords as the anchor text and if you just want to target city, as you probably should do, use the city name in the anchor too and description.

Thanks for the reply.

The keywords I want to show on are, PC repair solihull, Computer repair solihull, PC repair birmingham, computer repair birmingham. They are the main ones.

I am new to this, so please excuse my ignorance. The back links are with various online advertising sites, freeindex, yell.com being the most popular. How do I anchor text against these? Does this mean just include the key words in the site with the links?

Thanks for all the help.

Aaron, I don't wish to promote my blog but if you go there, or any other good blogs available (some members here have excellent SEO blogs) then that will help you understand a little more.

Explaining this to someone who has absolutely no knowledge and not being with them in person to show them is quite long and difficult.

Of course, we all will help you here as much as we can do

Just had a look and can't find any blogs about ranking.

Thanks,

You always want to try to put at least your main keyword in your title. The title you have is also a bit too long.

I recommend the following:

<title>PC Repair Services | AzzTech Birmingham, Solihull</title >

<meta name="description" content="PC Repair Services in Birmingham, Solihull, the complete computer services solution." />

<meta keywords="keywords" content="PC repair solihull, Computer repair solihull, PC repair birmingham, computer repair birmingham" />

Aaaron, it seems that you have hidden text at the site, which might get your site penalized easily. I am talking about this

<div id="wb_Text21" style="position:absolute;left:332px;top:20px;width:553px;height:40px;z-index:2" align="left">
<font style="font-size:8px" color="#000000" face="Arial">PC Repair Solihull, PC Repair Birmingham, Computer Repair Solihull, Computer Repair Birmingham, Computer Help Birmingham, PC Help Birmingham, Computer Support Midlands, Computer Support Birmingham, Computer Support Solihull, Birmingham Computer Repair, Solihull Computer Repair, Birmingham Computer Repairs, Solihull Computer Repairs, Virus Solihull, Virus Birmingham, Spyware Solihull, Spyware Birmingham, Data Recovery, Broadband installation solihull birmingham, pc health check solihull birmingham, Online Backup, Remote Support http://www.smilelocal.com/Computer%20Repairs/Solihull</font></div>

I could not recognise this in the content area.

You use javascript navigation menu which can not be followed by the robots, so it may hindern your website visibility. I would suggest you to substitute it wiht a css drop down asap.

The remote support related page is linked with an image, but the alt tag is empty, though you should place the "remote support" into it in order to improve the relevance.

The home page is linked with the previously mentioned javascript menu, so the site architecture does not make google think that it would be the most important page on your site.

How can you tell it is hidden?
