Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I reviewed your website, here is my suggestions :

• Try to validate your style (all of your pages) : http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...alidator%2F1.1
• Try to add H1 Tags to your forumdisplay and showthread templates > VB4 RR's?
• Have you installed vBSEO Conditional Signatures 1.4.2
• Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay and blog pages in your sitemap
• Meta Keywords are not so much important to google these days but try to remove some of your keywords coz too many keywords is not a good thing for SEO.
• Try to use a CDN network like MaxCDN.com , its a great thing for SEO.

Goodluck,
Ali.Ch.

Hi Ali,

Thank you for your suggestions.

I am curious about the w3 validator...it looks like the problems with my site are an Amazon affiliate link (it has some odd issues parsing the URL) and some javascript that's displayed in the source. Are those things I need to address?

I had Conditional Signatures installed, and the sitemap settings were already set to only include showthread/forumdisplay. Based on your suggestions, I placed H1 tags in my RRs and thinned out my Meta Keywords.

I'll be signing up with MaxCDN tonight.

Thanks again for your help. Is there anything else you might suggest?

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply,
w3 Validator is about your HTML codes, and it checks your style based on your xHTML Transitional standards (because vbulletin is codded based on xHTML trans.)
if there is any kind of erros that means its not codded correctly or it not in xhtml standards.

---
I havent seen any H1 tags in your showthread and forumdisplay pages. please recheck it.(Please follow adding vbseo RR's instructions if you dont know how to add them to your style pages)


Best Regards.

The w3 validator is broken then?

Here's one of the errors that it gets...

Code:

Line 412, Column 53: general entity "keywords" not defined and no default entity
…tp://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=bulletstorm&tag=bulleforum-20&i…

This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an unencoded ampersand (&) in an URL or body text. See the previous message for further details.

It's getting errors parsing a URL, not actual code. I'm assuming that's safe to ignore?

The h1 tags appear for me, but i only added them to my showthread/forumdisplay RRs. I just searched the source for h1 and they show up.

MaxCDN sped the loading up quite a bit! Anything else you might suggest?

oh no its your codes,

Validator just check your codes
