dtgmaze Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Due to the template I use i don't have many text on the first page off my site. and the keywords I use won't come back due to the style. http://www.loveforrain.nl I am wondering if this effects my google ranking and how I could improve this. Thnx guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartExpert.net Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello! If you do not have text on the home page it's not a big problem, but you need to have a good metadescritpion at least. At the moment your meta description looks like the meta keywords. Meta description should not be an enumeration of keywords. You should have whole sentences, briefly describing what the page/site is about. e.g.: Love For Rain delivers the best quality umbrellas, ponchos. Choose from a big variety of hip, trendy and fashionable accessories to protect yourself from rain. Also you have a problem with your template, as the meta tags, css and javascript files are not in the <head> part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartExpert.net Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello! It is still in the wrong place. It has to be within the <body> and placed after the right element. If you are not familiar with HTML you should contact the developer of the theme and ask for a fix. The difference is: - in the head part you put information 'invisible' to the user's eyes, like meta tags, including css and javascript files, definition of favicon, page title. For more information follow link: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_head.asp - in the body part goes everything that should be displayed in the browser.
