My site not being seen by search engines, why?

Can any web master out there please help me with the following problem?

I'm having difficulty getting my site (salmonfly.co.uk) seen or listed by any of the search engines. The only one that seems to list it is Altavista and they have it under the wrong domain name, (dry-fly.com). As can be seen in the code on the 'contact' page, any mail from 'salmonfly' is sent to my email address at 'dry-fly'. Is this the reason altavista is picking up the wrong domain address?

I've twice listed salmonfly.co.uk at google, yahoo, dmoz.org, etc, but still none of them list it, what am I doing wrong?

you are listed on google under salmonfly.co.uk

i feel your main problem is lack of text in body namely key words most engines do not rely on meta tags the use your body text to gain key words for ranking etc.

also your name is only show in images which search engines cannot read so maybe add some alt texts to them will help

site search engines ranks are affected by incoming links to your site as well as out going ones. so by adding a links page and swaping links with relavant sites you might improve your ranking

"link popularity and search engines" do a search on this subject and do some reading. be carefull as linking to banner exchange sites can lower rank pick sites with high quailty content etc

You can create hidden text links and hyper links that will greatly increase your ranking.
The coding (text and links) are hidden from the viewer, but it is displayed in the browser, which means the spiders will see the code and rank it according to the way you code the page.
This Is Not Cloaking! Go to this web site and view source. URL
and view source. Study the code. You can apply the same coding to your site.
Notice that the text, folder path and html. file are created relative to the search engine query. For example you will want to create as many different references to men and womens jewelry as possible. Works in IE, but haven't figured a work around the NN.

Nope, this won't help. Meta keywords are ignored by Google and given very little weight by the other search engines, they are practically useless at the moment.

Until you get banned. This is completely against what Google looks for in pages. They have automated checking which can get you banned, but more likely a competitor will report you so your site disappears.


What you need to do is add some more text on to your website. At the moment much of the text is as images, I know this might look a bit better, but search engines can't read it. If you have a page or two with 2-3 paragraphs about the jewellery and why it is nice your ranking in the results will get better. Try for about 200 words on those pages and write about what you are trying to sell - your salmon fly jewellery.

You could also: change the 'range.html' page to 'jewellery-range.html' and try to get Dreamweaver (or whatever you're using to write the pages) to put the Javascript it's putting on your pages in to external files. That will reduce the amount of non-textual content on your pages, which makes the spiders happier with your site.

Hope this helps

Paul

Hi,

I put my site through this and tried my best to optimize it but i have a few questions?

it says you should have no more than 20 keywords??? surley the more more keywords you have the more chances of getting a hit???

it also says that "Keyword relevancy to page content is poor.
The keywords relevancy to page content is 40%."

despite that all my keywords are on my index file??

thanks in advance

I would not submit your site to search engines twice a day or even more than once ever. Most search engines will automatically spider your site with time. If you have access to awstats or some other stats for your site you can check which SEs have spidered you and when. You can also find a scripts out there somewhere that will email you every time your site does get spidered. Remember that changes you do to your site take time to be noticed and rewarded.

Getting your site listed

Once you are sure that your content is perfect and that you have optimized your site try to find websites that are crawled by search engines daily to give you a link - this can make a HUGE difference.
