March 7, 201214 yr Author Also to add, if anyone can offer advice on meta tags etc, or the internal link structure it would be greatly appreciated thankyou
March 7, 201214 yr Really like it mate! Just a few points: - The freeindex ad is too wide, overflows the container. - "Fee's" should be "Fees" - Footer is huge and a bit keyword spammy - Are all of those meta tags necessary? Seems to be an overload of them... EDIT: Services page is a bit cramped, plus the map on the Area page should scale to the container! Edited March 7, 201214 yr by hodephdesign

EDIT: Services page is a bit cramped, plus the map on the Area page should scale to the container! thanks for the reply! have sorted out the area map, good point there! freeindex is to wide but unfortunately i can't do anything about that as its a script generated by them yes i realise the footers key word spammy, will that have a negative effect at all? (they are locations that we service) meta tags, this is all new to me so any advice you can give me on that would be great how many should there be? Many thanks Spud
March 7, 201214 yr It's a nice site, the pages have plenty of content. It's clean and well laid out, I'd reconsider having the Links page though. If I were to keep it I'd stick to relevant links such as the Useful Tools & Websites section you have already, perhaps develop that a bit. Get rid of the other link though it looks a little out of place imo. You should probably include some of your key service areas in your page < title > tags, try to localise your business a bit more. This will be better than the links in the footer. Hope this helps. Edited March 7, 201214 yr by Bomb
March 7, 201214 yr Author Thankyou for your feedback! Yeah im not that keen on the links page, it was just there as someone previously suggested getting listed in directories and most of them require a link back to them which is why i created it. I was wondering, having those links.. is that going to affect page rank etc at all? Am contemplating getting rod of a few! thanks again for the feedback, is very useful! Spud
March 7, 201214 yr Author ahh that is a very good idea! why did i not think of it One last thing, how do you find out how google views your site? From my many hours trawling the site i came across some people saying about google putting your site in a certain *Not so Good* category so we don't need to crawl that as much / at all.. is this true? how do you find out if your in it? Once again thanks for all your help! Spud
