Improving website hits

A

Alan

I would appreciate advice on how to increase the enquiries numbers for the
services on my website. Since re-writing this site, it receives few
enquiries for the services on offers and I don't know why. If I do a
google search for it, it seldom comes up in the search results and on the
odd occasion that it does, it's way down the results list.

The website is: (watchrepairer(dot)co(dot)uk) Please don't spare my
feeling if you consider the site to be poorly written, as it is more
important to me that I have a website that works. If I have to re-write it
please say, all constructive criticism is welcomed.

Dear Alan,

Your site, http://watchrepairer.co.uk/, shows this as the code for the
<head> section:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>The Watch and Jewellery Workshop</title>
</head>

You need a few more tags for search engines - KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION
- like:

<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="We sell new watches and repair old
timepieces with home town quality and service.">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="dealer, watchmaker, new watches, Omega,
Rado, Glycine, Tissot, Swiss Army, Longines, Hamilton, cK, clock
repair, restore pocket">

....so your <head> section should read:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="We sell new watches and repair old
timepieces with home town quality and service.">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="dealer, watchmaker, new watches, Omega,
Rado, Glycine, Tissot, Swiss Army, Longines, Hamilton, cK, jewellry,
jewelry">
<title>The Watch and Jewellery Workshop</title>
</head>

Change the KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION to suit yourself. Don't touch the
quotation marks ("...") and separate words with commas, like I've shown
you. After you have done that to all your pages, go to

http://www.google.com/search?q=free+url+add

and start registering your site with search engines. In a month or so,
after your site has been spidered by the search engines, people can
then find you, and you'll see more traffic. I wish you good luck in
your business, Alan.

AS HE SAID and
also try and add some text on the front page to match many of the keywords
and meta tag words. many search engines 'weed out" junk sites by comparing
them. they also throw out after they see too many words or "padding" the
tags
There are a bunch of sites I found that analyze your site and metatags etc
to see if they will be well liked by search engines. sorry can't find the
link
and this
http://www.seologs.com/link-analysis-tool/backlinks.html

do not underestimate the power of promoting your site in traditional media
and asking for links linking from other sites with similar interests (maybe
clients stores would be amenable to recommending you on their site?)
