    Wanted: Domain Appraisal greeenshopping.co.uk

    My first impressions: 1 You call it greenshopping, and yet the colour scheme is dark grey and blue! 2 There is nothing green/eco/natural about the design - eg no background images of leaves/trees/foliage/planet. 3 There are no words as to why this website helps the planet - eg put some...

    Wanted: Website Review buymycar.com review

    I quite like the design. However, the bold "Over 3,500 people like us make it one more" distracted me fromt he overall message your site is trying to get across - consider using addthis buttons at the site of your site so they don't clutter up the main design. I would also say that the...

    Wanted: Website Review A not so thin site - Lincolnshire.org

    In many ways, I liked the design. However: 1 I foudn the top ad with text constantly being written very distracting - and it drew attention away from your rotating pics and - imo - devalued your site 2 You're selling Lincolnshire as a tourist destination but - in your Lincolnshire news - the...

    Help from somebody - anybody!

    I had a similar thing about a year ago with a new website which I had over-optimised - too many keywords in alt text, file/folder names etc. A new site fell from page 1 to page 50. I removed these additional keywords and within a month or so it rose again and is now position 2/3. I am...

    Wanted: Website Review socked.co.uk

    The site is very visually appealing and in many ways it's very clever. However, I found it a bit confusing - especially the tell us how often, tell us where, become a gentlemen boxes which all seemed to take me to the same page. They're a clever idea but they don't really help me to...

    Trouble Indexing a New Site

    I had an issue with a Wordpress site when the menu software - which claimed to be seo friendly!! - was using some form of javascript for the menu options. Therefore there were no internal links to the back pages and they didn't get indexed. I corrected this by putting non-menu software footer...

    Best wat to present important points...USPs

    You can either: 1 Have your 3 main points in an arrow format (or other means of saying more info) and then use a css image gallery to give more information when the user HOVERS over the arrow - eg see http://www.routeoneschoolofmotoring.co.uk/ which has 3 large arrows to the left of the main...

    Wanted: Website Review please review http://getwritingnow.co.uk

    I'm afraid my initial impression was not favourable. Trying to be constructive: 1 reads like the keywords in a keyword tag - not the type of "learn how to make money out of freelance writing" (or whatever) tagline that will catch the reader's eye and draw them in 2 The top visual did not...

    Wanted: Website Review First Ever Website - Apple Vodka

    For a first site, well done! That said, I would create - or look in online image galleries (123rf.com or istockphoto.com are 2 I use) for an attractive photo of a cocktail or of people drinking cocktails and use this as a nice big attractive top photo to "hook" the reader. It would be nice...

    Wanted: Website Review Custom Wordpress Based Site

    Maybe it's because I'm not a techie, but the first screen I saw didn't give me a clue as to what your site is about - what you are selling/promoting and why look at your site. Once I started scrolling down, the "learn about linux" made a bit more sense. Personally, I'd give your site some...

    Wordpress comments

    Go through all your .php files and look for anything mentioning comments then delete (or safest) comment out the appropriate lines of code. When I did this, I found comments were sneaking in by means I hadn't thought of. As said, also change your settings from within Wordpress.

    Poor click through?

    Depends on the type of site - but try to phrase your Description (maybe even title) to target a market other than those interested in Wikipedia? For example, if you're offering a service/product, then even if Wikiepdia is top, people will be more likely to click on your site if it's clear...

    Top Tip: SEO the easy way...

    My favourite backlink checking tool at the moment is http://www.seoheap.com/backlink-checker/ - it's free and it groups the backlinks into domains rather than making you wade through pages and pages; it also indicates with a Home icon as to which sites are owned by them.
