Hello,

Can someone please view my website, www.best-dog-training-methods.com/boston-terrier-training.php and let me know what i can do(onpage) to help it's ranking? I really do not see why it is not ranking higher for the keywords.

Thanks,
Kevin

At first look it appears you're stuffing far too many keywords on the page. reduce it. If a person typed in the keyword phrase, I think they would know that the page was about Boston Terrier's, no need to remind them every 5-10 words like as if they have a memory span of a fish.

No trust factors going on.

<meta name="rating" content="general">


you have far too many keywords in your meta tag.


yours looks like this

Code: Select all

<META name="keywords" content="boston terrier training, training a boston terrier, boston terrier training tips, puppy training boston terrier">

it should look like this

Code: Select all

<META name="keywords" content="boston terrier training puppy tips" />


notice that there are no comma's and i took out the repeating words?

having no commas in there allows the search engine to make up variations of that keyword phrsae.
ie
boston terrier training puppy tips
boston terrier
boston terrier training
boston terrier training tips
boston terrier puppy training tips

and so on.

your a href links have no title attribute

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.best-dog-training-methods.com/boston-terrier-training.php">


should look like this

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.best-dog-training-methods.com/boston-terrier-training.php" title="boston terrier training">

also take a look at the code, the text should all be on one line, not broken up, seems you're using an old version of dreamweaver or front page, upgrade to cs3 dreamweaver, optimize your html, smaller the size of the page, the better.

I thought you were a Video Guide To Profits member?

All you need to know is in there.

help this helps

Hey Loz, I have another question?

what is charset=iso-8859-1 on the meta tags, and how important is it?

It's a WC3 standard to let the search engine 's servers (or any server for that matter) know what type of characters should be used in the encoding process:

A character encoding is a method of converting bytes into characters. To validate or display an HTML document, a program must choose a character encoding. For documents in English and most other Western European languages, the widely supported encoding ISO-8859-1 is typically used.
