Review Please

Hi Guys,

Im keen to get sum experts to review my site.

It is

www.newtoyota.com.au

It was built on a string budget by some dude in Pakistan,
with all due respect to him he did a great job in designing it but there are a number of loose ends which need to be tidied up but unfortunately due to the unstableness of what is going on in his country I have minimal contact with him and sadly I think he has bailed out on me on the site.

Things I need to know are,
* Is it SEO friendly cause at moment it doesn't appear to RANK anywhere near where we want it when punching in 'new toyota'
* Is it fast?
* Does it have meta-tags
* Anything else you want to add would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

You could have done a bit better and cheaper with a free CMS such as Joomla or Drupal. Overall, the site isn't bad, but is lacking interactivity of the other large vehicle promotion sites.
However, to answer your questions;

Things I need to know are,
* Is it SEO friendly cause at moment it doesn't appear to RANK anywhere near where we want it when punching in 'new toyota';
add content and make sure you're getting indexed/spidered
* Is it fast? Yes, loads really fast
* Does it have meta-tags None at this time
* Anything else you want to add would be appreciated
check out the large manufacturer sites and see what they're doing. many are coming up with user movable content, images and videos that are very innovative.

You're off to a good start, but there's room for more.

Cheers

we are a toyota dealer.

Aha!
here is your problem:
U USE FRAMES!
why have PHP programming if you are going to use frames??
a NO NO for SEO.

*In your title, You have apostrophe in "Toyota's", should be Toyotas, you Are indexed by google, just dont have competitive content.

*Your "express quote" does not work, very hackeable

You can request help in the "development" forum or PM me

I agree with nodws it makes it much difficult if you have frames over the look of the website is good on the logo i would remove the shadow does not look good.

You have a error in your News and your Quote link is not working when you click on contact us. over all i like the layout

sportsforum · 08-15-2008, 04:34 AM

So basically on first impressions you guys think its quite good, how much would I need to spend in AUD to get it make it more appealing and SEO friendly?

netzilla · 08-15-2008, 04:57 AM

I am using Firefox 2 and I the layout has some spacing where it shouldn't. Over all it has potential but check out the following:

- On your "Express Quote" form you many want to state its for a 'Model' search.
- I agree the IFRAMES need to go, not supported by all browsers, bad for seo
- Error 404 on http://www.newtoyota.com.au/news.php
- Add a contact form on your contact page for visitors who may not have email
