How do I get more hits?

[balco101]

I just started building a site for someone.

its http://www.valtanphoto.com

How do I get it noticed on google and other engines?

Did I get the meta search writing correct?

What am I doing wrong?

Your site is serving as a landing page, which doesn't offer any real content for a search engine to grab. So, don't expect rankings initially, if at all. I suggest writing a better meta description and eventually build the site out with information that attracts readers.

Oh, also if you want to implement an SEO strategy, expect 3 months of development.

Is it suppose to say description or something like "photo" ?

<meta name="description"

same with "keywords"

 

[tzmartin]

Yes. You have the right structure. It must say "description" or "keywords" for the search engines to read it. It's the standard.

From the first glance at your site, you should replace all images with text. Search engines love content and without it your site will not show for any of keywords. Also build up backlinks so you can get out of the Google Sandbox sooner.

create a sitemap and submit to google, build your inbound links, i.e. link exchange, article submission, press release, submit to directories.

each pages should have different title, kw's & descriptions..

try to add alt tags on your images if you dont want to replace your images with text.

Always remember that it is not hits that count for a business website, rather sales. Sales are what you are striving to achieve. So stay away from abused and black hat techniques to draw traffic to your site, rather concentrate on using meta tags, descriptions and new content.

A great rule of SEO, don't promote or hope for traffic till you have completed your site.

Part of that completion is getting the tags and writting correct.

What are backlinks and inbound links?

What are backlinks and inbound links?

It is the number of links that link back to your site, from other sites. This is part of the equation that Google uses to determine your PageRank (PR). A good rule of thumb with backlinks: get quality links from sites that have a higher PR than you.

find good keywords for your site.

1) add it to Title tag
2) Add it to Meta tag
3) Add it to IMG alt tag
4) add more backlinks.
