Number of Sections(we chose 3)'Home' 'Contact' & 'Specials'
On each of our 'Sections' is where we add Title, Desc, Keywords, content pics etc behind the scenes so to speak
Unlimited Catagories, such as Jackets Vests, etc.
Unlimited # of product pages can be added to those Catagories. This is where we add all our product. For instance one page would be all jackets another all vests etc
BUT there isn't a place to add keywords on the product pages other than the decription of the products. Maybe looking at my site would make it more clear to someone.
Everyone says add only one or two keywords to your home page (for instance)but I was filling that Title and Description with as many main keywords as I could because I thought it would cover as much of my site as possible.
I've spent the last 3 days on forums reading how bad what I've done is, so tried changing the keywords/phrases to only 3 and adjusted the homepage content to reflect those phrases. Nothing feels right now. It looks strange to me. Am I am still doing something wrong?
In addition will each page of product such as 'jackets' be it's own keyword since thats what the page is all about?
I've just re-read all of this and it sounds confusing even to me and I know what I mean. If there are any clairvoyant peeps out there that understand my dilemma, would you pleeeze let me know what I can/should be doing to get this squared away?
Maybe looking at my site would make it more clear to someone.
No.
Site reviews are against the Terms of Service here.
In my opinion you need to change the way you are approaching this project. It seems you are approaching this like putting makeup on your site in order to make it attractive to the search engines. This is not correct. Keywords aren't something you put on top of, in spite of, or in conflict with, your content. Your keywords should appear naturally.
An Analogy
"Everyone says, everyone says...."
Everyone says that blondes have more fun, but it would work against you to, so to speak, to dye your site's hair blonde, if your web site is a brunette. You work with the brunette, you work with the naturally occurring curls- don't straighten the curls! Work with them.
What you want to do is clarify the message. It takes more than three days of reading around here to grasp the depth of what this entails- and there are some around here who never do.
If I'm wrong and you're doing it all by hand and what you're talking about are architecture decisions (rather than dictated by a template or software) then what you need is to read some books on architecting a site and would probably benefit from reading up on themes and site structure here on the forum.
I'm thinking this might be a "how does my software/template work" question because I have noticed over the years that some store builders and CM systems don't have fields for Meta Keywords or Meta Description, and that some even overwrite them if you put them in by hand. (Hmmm...might be a good library thread topic for newbies: which auto-storebuilders don't have the ability to set keywords/description on individual pages.) And if you're using a store builder and don't know any HTML, it could be quite confusing to read through all webmasterworld's postings on "just put X in your keywords tag" and then not see a field for Meta Keywords anywhere in your software.
Anyway, if you could let us know how you're building the actual web pages (i.e. by hand, using desktop WYSIWYG software like FrontPage/Dreamweaver, using a supplied store template, or using a content management system or store builder software) then that would help us answer your question since we'd then know if it's something we *can* answer (since if it's a store builder nobody here might have experience with it).
