seo help needed for a less content site

[seoinfo]

Hi
I have a restaurant site. The site is designed like this: In the home page, option is there to select between HTML and Flash versions.

And now I want to do seo works for html version of the site. But as it is a restaurant site, the content is not much (in home page and also inside pages).

Is it possible to get ranks for such sites in Google?

I have heard that Google loves content rich sites. So i got this doubt.

Can anyone help me with your ideas or suggestions please ?

Thanks

You had best get some more content written then. How about restaurant reviews submitted by site visitors?

Ryan - by simply linking to a site that you link you aren't providing any useful information to the user who posed the original question.

seoinfo - it sounds like you've set up your site properly for SE (non-flash version).

Is the site brand new?

[BuckfastMonk]

Actually Tim, yes I am. If you or the original poster is to lazy to go look through the site thats not my problem.

By looking at the website it should provide the original poster with an answer to the original question.

That was what they were looking for afterall was it not :rolleyes:

The overall SEO thing depends on on-page and off-page optimization.

You you can't get enough of on-page things like keyword rich content...you have to compensate that with links.

So even if you have low textual content, you can have good rankings, if you have quality backlinks from related sites with you keyword in the anchor text.

All the best !

There's really a lot of ways to add content to a restaurant. It doesnt have to be just Menu - Lunch...Dinner...Prices...

Maybe you can write about locations if you have more than one.

Maybe you have house specials or signature dishes

Maybe you have news...were in the news... etc.

Remove yourself from your site and restaurant and imagine yourself a total stranger stumbling onto the site. What's it going to take to get you to come to your restaurant? If you think like that, you might get ideas for more content.

But also - it's not just onpage - OFFPAGE is important too. Build up your links too.

In my view, tower-restaurant.com, even with the text and Flash options, is still an example of what not to do. There's no text content for the engines to see on the first two pages, and the visitor has to go down to the third level... two clicks... to find anything useful about the restaurant

The default home page should contain enough optimized text for a search engine to see what the site's about. The page could easily combine material (reworded to be unique) from the food and information pages. The site should default to html, with the Flash option as a link on the home page. There should be text navigation somewhere on the page.

All the pages need unique titles. Beyond the restaurant name... where's the city name? The section of town? The type of cuisine?

I don't know why in the world designers have such an aversion to a tasteful block of text on the opening page. To me, any designer who can't incorporate a few text paragraphs in a pleasing graphic design is not a very competent designer.

I didn't suggest to mimic the site. ffs its an example of how a site with little content can still rank well!

Hi, Thank you all for responding my question.

Yes, it is a new site registered in Jan'2007. And only one page is indexed by Google, but as it was a full flash site before one week also, the cached page is just some footer text.
