Re: Giftgallery site problems
Hi Lynda,
I think I have found one item that may be causing your problems. You
have some links on your home page near the bottom right. They read
Link Leads & More. and Weddinglinks.
Google doesn't like these link farm sites and you have actually linked
your site to them. They will delete your site from the index. First
thing you need to do is end your association with both of them and any
others on your site. Then you need to optimize your site. Google should
have indexed your pages, however it wouldn't go beyond the dynamic pages
listed directly on your home page anyway.
Optimizing dynamic pages is a task but it is a task that all SEOs will
have to confront. It is very difficult to optimize a collection of
templates sewn together on the fly. And with no inbound links leading to
those dynamic pages, your page's PageRank will be 2 or less. The page
has to be converted to a static html, .asp or .php file on the fly. The
only solution for a smaller business like yours is to create html pages
beforehand and then begin the backend server pages after those static
pages. It's like having a "front end" and a "backend."
Search engine optimized web sites require a lot of integration based on
keywords. The best solution I would suggest, is to generate a focused
collection of static html pages strategically focused on your most
profitable products. I've worked on a gift item site like yours
recently and had to do a lot of background research. The gift seekers
are out there, but it is competitive. Only an expert can weave together
a masterpiece that will get you to the top of several keyword phrases.
These are the monthly demand numbers just from Overture. Then there's
Google and MSN.
