First, I would fix the title tags and the meta tags on the site. Make sure that your main keyword phrase for each page appears at the beginning of the title tag and not at the end of the title tag.

I would then make sure that your meta description and meta keywords tags are not the same on every page of the site. Each page is different, so it should have a unique title tag, meta keywords tag, and meta description tag.

Then work on getting more links to the site from other sites that are on topic to your site.

rushdhi - I notice that the site is itself selling "Search Engine Optimizations." ;) A company should not be offering such services when it's not competent to supply them. It's not fair to customers who might find you.

When I click on the link to the SEO page, I'm taken to a page whose title element reads: "Multimedia Applications - 3D Imaging, Virtual Tours, Digital Photography". So, you're going to need to clean up things like that.

I also think you need to read something very basic about SEO and then apply some care to how each page of the site is targeted. I'd recommend Aaron Wall's book as a start... seobook.com.

The meta keywords on your pages, by the way, aren't going to help you rank, but they are an indication of current random and unrealistic intentions of the site. The phrases they include are very competitive. The site is currently an attractive brochure, but nothing more; it needs to have much greater depth and breadth of content and information to rank on all those highly competitive terms. Right now, your pages often don't even include the phrases you're apparently targeting, let alone good information about them.

I think you're going to need to look at the competition and to focus quite a bit on what each page can rank for, and possibly limit your targeting to include "Sri Lanka" in all phrases. You then might have a chance of getting some visibility on the web.

Well, rushdi has my sympathies and encouragement. Sri Lanka is a country I remember fondly, and I think I understand the situation rushdi is in. He was wise to search out a good source and ask questions.

Zeelabs, though, should think twice about what it represents it can do. For rushdi to achieve some rankings for them, he's going to have to come up with some realistic targeting, along with titles, nav links, and content to fit... and then get some good relevant inbounds as well. If he succeeds, I suppose the company will look good, and, ironically, it will have achieved some justification in its representation as an SEO company. And rushdi will have a job.

rushdi - I encourage you to keep asking questions on the forum. We can't answer all of your questions. The more you do your homework, though, and the more specific your questions are, the more likely they are to get answered.

Rushdi - I just ran a few pages through Copyscape. www.copyscape.com

You need to ask yourself who's content came first? Original content is also a key aspect of the process.
