Suggestions for my site please.

Hi all,

I have spent sometime reading the many useful threads on here and would like some advice on what else I can do to help with SEO for my new forum.

I have only had it up and running since the end of September so please be gentle

Thanks

Hello,

I am really sorry for the delay, I was super busy ....

Since I am a Vet so I am big fan of dogs specially German shepherds and Rottweilers.

I reviewed your website , Please note that one of the most important factors in SEO is Speed, using big images in your forums , like the header logo will slow the load of your site.
As google bots visit your website as guests so our main focus is on guests and what is visible for them. Thats even better to remove avatars / signs / vb experience results in postbits / useless tables like forum rules and icon keys for guests too, it will make your forum and thread pages faster.

here is my suggestions :

• Try to validate all of your Pages (especially Forums and threads) : [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.ourgermanshepherds.co.uk/swapshop/240.htm - W3C Markup Validator
• Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay / blogs and CMS pages into vBSEO sitemap
• Try to re-write yourwebsite.com/forum.php to yourwebsite.com/ ,
• Try to use a CDN service (like MaxCDN.com) using vbseo CDN feature.
• Try to submit your website in Directories like DMOZ.

- Always try to improve your pagespeed and website performances , you can check your website's performances here : WebPagetest - Website Performance and Optimization Test


I wish you a great luck

Thanks so much!

Have a nice xmas
