  • Dave I have always admired you a little because I bought your SEO wordpress template http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/ which helped my site alot (I think its the best optimized template on the web), further you have some good words of wisdom on various forums and therefore helped my in my quest to increase for promoting my business; however, I had no idea you had so much trouble with your back (I also, but not to your level). I think your ‘million dollar business ideas’ is a detailed well written article and in fact have shared it with others that complain about their life.

    From a business side I still question if it would have been better for you to focus on one and only one site and idea and create a mega site rather than many good sites. One idea, one mega site. And with your SEO skill I think you could do it.

  • Hi David do you offer any seo services.

  • Thanks for your story, it is very inspiring. I’m sure it inspires many who get to read it. Best of luck getting that million.

  • Hi David,

    I bumped into your site yesterday while looking at things I could do at home online without looking up to the government for handouts while at the same time having time for my young family (my wife works full time)and I must admit that I’ve been greatly inspired by your courage given your level of disability. I have back problems myself but do not compare to yours. Permit me to say, however, that in this fast-paced world, I unfortunately dont understand anything about this online business even though I see it as the only way out given my circumstances. I need a proper education on this from whereever I can get it as I hope it is not too late. Thanks for your anticipated response.

  • Great story. I realize how tough it is to start a business online and so it helps me to look into various means to establish steady income.

  • Hi David,

    I have to say that it never ceases to amaze me how a medical condition can change your life dramatically. In my eyes my disability is my motivator. Having people all around me saying ‘you can’t do that’ or ‘its just not possible for you’ most of my life has given me the drive to make my own business and prove them all wrong.

    I worked part time (because that is all I could handle) and saved as much money as I could so I could pay a web designer to build a website for me which is all done!

    I didn’t know about this SEO stuff and of course I had nobody to tell me so recently I have been trying to do SEO myself because it is extremely expensive. Some companies ask for £500 per month which of course is impossible. I have bought article submission software so I can raise my page rank for keywords, I have done the keywords and meta tags but that is all I can do. Can you give me any advice on this? Or a link to your SEO website so I can see it please?

    Thank you for the inspiration!

    Richard

    • Glad your getting your online business up and running.

      Take a read of my SEO relevant sites:

      http://www.seo-gold.com/
      http://www.seo-consultant-services.co.uk/
      http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/

      I’m afraid meta tags have no SEO ranking value, http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/meta-tags-optimization the only meta tag with value is the description meta tag and even that one doesn’t increase rankings.

      I don’t give detailed SEO advice for free, but took a quick look at your site.

      Not a big deal, but you’ve got a couple of extra carriage returns at the top of your pages (code wise) this might indicate extra carriage returns in one of your script files (one of your template files). I haven’t used ASP is years, in PHP I’d look for a couple of blank lines at the bottom of php files. In WordPress having that type of error breaks RSS feeds, so it might cause some unwanted effects.

      OK, your home page lacks headers (H1, H2, H3, etc…) it’s believed these are an SEO factor, basically you add relevant phrase within headers. This is also true of your category pages.

      You have images with blank alt attributes. Add relevant descriptions to images for increased rankings. Then you’ve got other alt attributes with too much info. For example the poster “Kennedy Space Center – 50x40cm Print” has alt text “The bread and butter of space flight launches: Kennedy Space Center. Spelt in the American way… not like us British who spell it ‘Centre’… it was our language first. Anyway, we digress… place this high quality 50x40cm art print on your wall with pride and show the world (universe) that you’re the biggest, badest space buff around.” instead of something like “Kennedy Space Center Print” which is what the image is about and adds SEO relevance.

      A lot of your links anchor text is awful: “Read More” and “Home” for example! In a perfect SEO world every link will have relevant anchor text, a link to home for example shouldn’t have anchor text “Home” but like I have for the home links on this site the name of the site (which should be keyword rich) like “45 Year Old Millionaire Make Money Online Blog”. Anchor text is VERY important.

      Your product pages are better, relevant H1 and H2 header, I’d either drop the “Customer Reviews:” H2 header or better yet change it to a H3 and add change to something like “Customer Reviews of Product Name”. I’d also mix up the H2 that’s currently a copy of the H1 by using a derivative SERP, for example on your print pages the H1 could be “Product Print” and the H2 “Product Poster”. If you have similar products (lots of prints) rename some of them posters and have the related SERPs for print.

      Also consider rewriting your product text. For example text like:

      “The bread and butter of space flight launches: Kennedy Space Center. Spelt in the American way… not like us British who spell it ‘Centre’… it was our language first. Anyway, we digress… place this high quality 50x40cm art print on your wall with pride and show the world (universe) that you’re the biggest, badest space buff around.”

      Could easily include more derivative SERPs:

      “The bread and butter of NASA’s space flight launches: Kennedy Space Center. Spelt in the American way… not like us British astronauts who spell it ‘Centre’… it was our language first. Anyway, we digress… place this high quality NASA 50x40cm art print of a shuttle leaving the NASA launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center on your wall with pride and show the world (universe) that you’re the biggest, badest space buff around.”

      Basically pad out your descriptions with relevant keywords and don’t be afraid to link to related products** with relevant anchor text. It can be so much fun trying to think of something witty for your 500th product description rewrite :-)

      Maybe the eccomerce package has the option to show related products or products that were bought at the same time. If not try to find products with similar keywords, in the case of the text I copied above the obvious would be other products related to the Kennedy Space Center.

      Bit late now, but the ideal format for filenames (including images) is separate keywords with hypens -. So a good filename would be kennedy-space-center-print.aspx and kennedy-space-center-print.jpg. Keep it in mind for new products and pages.

      My eldest son created a site about conspiracy theories (he’s not a believer in conspiracies) and the first conspiracy he busted was the Moon Landing hoax conspiracy http://www.conspiracy-theories-hoax.com/category/apollo generates a lot of comments (must have 300 comments just on the Moon Landing Hoax)! Not bad for a 13 year old (he’s 19 now and at University).

      Good luck with the SEO

      David

      • Wow… I didn’t realize just how inexperienced I was until just now. I honestly don’t know how to make any of the changes that you have pointed out so I think it best to hire an expert. In which case, would you be interested in conducting SEO on my website? If it interests you of course. :)

        Took a look at your sons conspiracy theory… AH PHUEY! :P The Russians would have been the first to point out that the Americans faked it, they had the technology after all ;) (impressive though!).
