It may have more links. Google does not show all back links to a page, only links from sites PR4 and above.

It is yes, but with the url you gave me the site is PR4 - it's got some backlinks though (and one from a PR5) and for the keywords you gave me ... they placed them at the right places title - meta - text 2 x + 2x a variant.

How's your site doing?

You're doing well.

I think that they page title are very focused on the Kwds you gave me and that your titles seems to be a bit big ... have you tried using smaller page titles? Just a question if you are happy don't change them.

Also, I think that you could do even better by using <h> tags. Hope you don't mind me saying that.

No problems - first html tags are what made up a page. Some are mandatory and other are just used to format text.
Most of the tags are composed by opening and closing tags <mytag> to open and </mytag> to close it. You put text between and it format the text according to what's surround it.

<hn>My H tag</hn> where n represent a number between 1 and 6 are use as - pages, sections, paragraphs - titles to mark an important part of the document (1 being the most important and 6 the least)

So using one <H1> tag on your page as a Page title and paragraph titles, could help the robots notice that this is important and should result in better ranking for tha title ... But don't overdo it because it could have a negative effect (if somebody think you were trying to spam the SE)

- any senior to correct a mistake that I could have made? -

Also, I wouldn't use Publisher to do a site because it messing up the code - try Front Page it's still pretty easy and messed up the code in a minor way.

Try searching for html tutorials if you are into designing your pages yourself - www.htmlgoodies.com is a good place to start, it's where I originally came from :) ... But there are plenty of other sources ...

Great stuff ill do that!

sorry but im enjoying my lesson, as you know im using steam powered Publisher generator, im thinking of buying the Macromedia and all the gubbins that come with it like Flash etc..... does it do html and htm? and is it easier to use?
ie more applications?

And Thank you once again.

I'll have to try that url later as the html goodies tutorials are not loading, or maybe its just me.

It is Friday isnt it.

Goodluck to all with the update, and anymore info you would like to share Thanks!

Yes Dreamweaver is a great tool - you can do amazing stuff with little efforts (especially if you are into databse development).

It's what I use at the moment not the lates version though - haven't got the money yet to afford it :).

I think the macromedia studio is your best bet (studio+ even better) becase you can do your pages in fireworks (graphical design soft) and export them directly in dreamweaver Ultra Dev to tweak them and add text etc...

leo

ps.

does it do html and htm

yes they do but they're the same thing so I wouldn't bother. It only depends on what you type when you save your page.
