Hi Piyal,

I had a look at your web site and found that it is not search engine friendly. You realy need to optimize your web site. For example, it title is to simple. It would be better to have more key words or descriptive words. The description is the same. Your web site doesn't have "keywords", which is very important for crawler search engine like Google.

Furthermore, your web site's meta tag is very simple too. You should know that Google get information of your web site from meta tag. So it's very very important.

I also checked your ranking in Google. It's indexed by Google but won't be listed in the first 100 links, not say top 10.

To improve your page rank, you have a lot work to do.

Nope, if only it were that simple. There are 2190 backlinks showing for the site at Yahoo

http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv1-&p=linkdomain%3ainfoway.us

and 2110 references to the domain at Google,

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-09,GGLD:en&q=infoway%2Eus

and the homepage has a PR6. No problem there, with the PR. Unfortunately, just links and PR won't do it. Absolutely, the site needs basic search engine friendliness and simple, basic optimization.

Well to kick off you have mostly bought links, a closely crosslinked network of sub-domains, and home page links to pharma and casinos.

and how many other sites that rank well have that same thing, glengara?

If you are optimizing for "web design" , "website design" , you will most likely need more then 4,000 back links

My site has 8,000 (yes I am top 10 ten for website design, although as of last update not in google) most of the people in the top 10 have at least 10,000 some one of them has 477,000 , anther one has 47,000 its pretty simple math.

Ferret is quite right, must be those meta-tags....

Please help me, I will be a thank full.

Thanks

Glengera, do you have sites that rank for anything competitive? I am not trying to start of fight with you, but also seem to know so much about SEO, and was wondering does any of this stuff you preach work?

I think that it is sort of inaccurate to tell someone who has half as many backlinks as their competitors, that their problem is they bought links. Its possible but its definitly not the first thing that pops up.

Don't you think?

*Please guide me what do you mean by "basic search engine friendliness and simple, basic optimization"*

Sort of odd coming from a company selling SEO services, claiming 5+ years experience....

Ferret, you have an unfortunate habit of preferring to pick arguments with replies you don't agree with rather than addressing the original posters' problem, why don't you actually take a look at the site, and give us your opinion?
