I don't see any total show-stoppers, but here's a few suggestions...
[ul]
[li]Avoid using images to display text. Search engines love text, they can't understand anything else. Every bit of text you put in an image is text that a search engine isn't going to find. You can get the same effect with some simple CSS - it'll load quicker too![/li]
[li]Try to get some more inward links to your site, according to
you've only got 2! Look for directories to submit to (starting with
), exchange links with relevant sites, include your URL in your sig for online forums, etc.[/li]
[li]Include some real content in your site that goes beyond marketing-speak. Say, some free articles written about that business sector. It'll help in getting people to link to you if there's something substantial to link to - "I just read this great article on TerraSys..."
[li]Use proper markup - <h1> etc. for headings, <ul> for lists, etc. Engines seem to make more sense of this than tag soup.[/li]
[li]Use CSS for presentation instead of <font> tags - it may not help your SEO directly, but it makes your pages smaller & quicker to load; easier to maintain too.[/i]
[li]Try to get the
content of each page as near to the top of the HTML source as possible - engines give greater weight to the start of each page. Move your javascript to a seperate file, consider using CSS for layout or being more sneaky with your table cells[/li]
[li]Use a proper DOCTYPE (see
), not that strange HotMetalPro one, and use a validator (e.g.
) to check against it. Rumours that engines favour valid pages are unsubstantiated (and frankly unlikely), but you reduce the chance of confusing their robots with erroneous code.[/li]
[/ul]
Enough to be going on with?
