Today I discovered marketleap.com. They seem more accurate than alexa regarding who is linking to our page. Anyway, for 2 of our other much more popular product using very popular search terms, we are not showed to be indexed at all in the search engines. Meaning if you look up widget you won't find us on any search engines, including the ones that have indexed our site. I don't understand why this is. When I look in goggle, I see they have the widget page listed, yet it does not show up in the keyword verification report on market leap.
To find all pages indexed by Google, do a search for
site:www.mydomain.com -qwerty
(and replace mydomain with your real domain). For the site in your profile, there are 36 pages indexed. But when you look at the snippets, you can see that they all start with the company name, and some kind of a company motto. On the page that is displayed as the first text (<h1> tag the company name). For a search engine that is an indication of the theme of your page. So all sub pages have as theme your company name instead of a specific product. As a result your site is doing good for the company name (#15 out of 900K results) although you only have very few inbound links (0 on AllTheWeb, 3 on Inktomi, PR too low for Google to show links).
To do better for the keywords, you can do 2 things:
1. Create a gif-file with the company name & motto as now displayed in the header of the sub pages. And replace the text with this gif file. It will take a little longer to load a page (only 1 time, next page the visitor opens the gif file is already loaded).
2. Put the current header lower on the page (as a footer or so)
It will also help if you can get more inbound links (like ODP). This will improve the PR of your site.
BTW, the links in the Java buttons (closeout specials) might be a problem for search engines like Google.
I understand you cannot put the keywords here, but if I missed your point, please stickymail me the keywords you were refering to.
