Website Help

Options
A posted a few weeks Back for help with finding someone to build a website for my new venture, due to lack of funds after buying stock etc I have had to go down the route of building my own. Now I am not sure if it is any good, I have no idea what meta tags are:confused: I have also been told it needs some tweaking (but not sure what as someone has looked at it for me but wanted £300 to do any work and I know full well I could have had one built for this price.)

I was wondering if anyone could look at it and maybe give me a helping hand. I do have some funds and am willing to pay as I really need to get up and running soon as the new customers I have made at local markets etc will start going else where. Any help would be gratefully recieved. :) x

  • Meta tags are basically bits of additional information which are used to sort/identify your pages, most commonly keywords which one may use when looking for your page. Some search engines will read meta tags for keywords and match those to what users are searching for. Though they can be used for other things too, they are basically information which is not displayed to the user.

    Not sure if I can be of huge help but I do have a little experience in this area and would be happy to take a look at your site and give you some feedback on it.

    Meta Tags are not given a high priority by most search engines these days

    http://searchenginewatch.com/2167931

    The meta keywords tag allows you to provide additional text for crawler-based search engines to index along with your body copy. How does this help you? Well, for most major crawlers, it doesn't. That's because most crawlers now ignore the tag. The few supporting it can be found on the Search Engine Features page).

    it's links from associated high ranking sites that give it "worth" amongst other things , I.e a web site selling Organic food would gain ranking from links to other Organic sites

    If you are still having problems PM me the web address and i'll have a look for you. I am trying to get my head around the legislation involved in going self employed, and have plenty of experience with web design and e-marketing, they are infact some of the main services i will be offering. As i will be a new business, i could do with some portfolio work and could probably help you for free if i can use you as an example. No guarantees but it could work out for the both of use.
