Hi Kevin :-)
I actually like this site! My only immediate gripe is the paragraph on the main page is one long link. So every word is underlined. When I clicked it, I ended up on the actual "About us" page.

Remove the link tag, keep the short paragraph, and perhaps at the very end of the paragraph put a "Learn more..." and a link only on those two words.

I`d also like to see a "Home" tab at the top or bottom of the navigation bar, just to make it more convenient when I`m looking at other pages.

I`m guessing you`re a wholesaler? If so, I`d like to see a tab on that navigation bar to the left, something like "Dealer services." But otherwise, I like the site. (Minor typo: it should be Crystal perfume bottles, plural.)

SEO writing

I think your biggest problem is going to be "themes." In other words, each page you want to use for search-engine optimization is going to have to have something that directly relates to 1 idea---a single search term. The search terms are those people in general type into Google`s search bar (or Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, or any other search engine).

For example, I might type in "gift clocks" to find interesting ideas for a giveaway to 400 doctors at a hospital. Notice that there`s no `crystal` in the query term? But the *theme* is gifts, clocks, and the idea of a corporate giveaway.

Your writing, below the four pictures of clocks, would then be 250-400 words of SEO-style writing, going on about "Gift clocks," "Special awards," and maybe "Recognition gifts." You`d have to run some analysis in the keyword phrase tools to find the top 15.

The site itself is nice, organized, easy to navigate. Now the problem is getting it found. Make up 1 sale item that you can list on Startup Nation`s Marketplace. That gets crawled a lot and will help you boost your visibility.

Make your link in your signature a live link, because Google crawls SuN profiles and signatures all the time. You`ll also want a "tag line," to quickly tell people in 10 words what`s your business and how they`ll benefit from it. That goes in the signature to replace "Crystal Astray (typo---ashtray), crystal Candle holder, Crystal vase." That tells us nothing. :-)

Let`s see what the Web developers find in terms of "under the hood" and what might help. :-)

Kevin,

Ok, the good news is your site is indexed by Google. You can enter your URL on this search engine saturation tool and see the results.

The "site map" you have at the bottom of the page links to a google site map.., it should not be linked on the page, but the xml file uploaded to Google. In its place you should put an hmtl site map (that lists all your pages with links to them all). The same program that created your xml file should be able to produce your html sitemap.

The "title" for each page is too large - too many words. Search bots will not read all of it nor can anyone visiting your site read it all.

Most of the links on yahoo are from forum posts. I suggest working on getting links from SEO friendly directories and quality and relevant in-bound links. Here is a directory tracker tool  to track your progress through directories. You can indicate if your site is included with that directory, pending approval, rejected or you are not considering that directory. You can also check if your website is already included in these directories by using the search feature.

As Craig noted the link to the whole paragraph should change. Also, I expect to be able to make a purchase or at least get more information when I click on a product. I see that you are looking fo OEM orders - and ask people to email or telephone you about ordering. That process is counter to the purpose of an apparent ecommerce website.

A link to more information about each product would be nice. I suggest you at least add an online form for people to compete - to express an interest or to capture any order information you require.

I didn`t try to order something....that`s probably part of a good look-see, right? :-D Which is why it`s good to have more than one person doing that look and see!

Apparently there`s some confusion on the site as to if it`s a retail e-commerce site, or for wholesalers. That`s going to HAVE to be fixed, before anything else, in my opinion. Choose which you`re going to be, then tilt the site strongly toward which one.

If` it`s going to be wholesale, then definitely have a tab on the navigation bar for "Dealer Info." That`s where the form Roland mentions could go. Otherwise, you`ll have to put prices and a shopping cart together.

As far as your backlinks, Google always shows less than other engines. I believe it tries to factor in the assumption that many sites not topically related may be linked to you. Your Pagerank will gradually increase as Google recognizes incoming links. Remember though that PR is not necessarily an indicator of where you will be in SERP`s, but an indicator of your incoming links. If you can get links from a few authority or high-ranking related sites, your PR should jump up a bit.

You also have a lot of code in relation to your content....style and font tags that could easily be put into a css file.

I like the site you made and it looks realy nice. I hope your web based part of your business takes off with the advice you have been given. By the way, I got a great idea for a website when I read this fourm, thanks.

One issue that I noticed at first, is that you have two versions of your homepage. Many people will link to your domain name, and you also have internal links to http://www.cn-crystal.com/index.htm.

I would also consider adding product descriptions, and other unique text to your site.

Good ideals, i will improve my blog to introduce my products and crystal.
