Is their anything I can do to improve?

Is their anything I can do to improve the SEO of my site?

I wanted to know if someone would be so nice to look at my site & tell me how well or bad my site is? And/or can tell me what I can do to improve?

ThisDarnCar.com, is an Automotive Support Forum that helps drivers troubleshoot automobiles and ultimately helps them in lowering costs and owning more efficient cars.



Thanks, dreck

I'm unfortunately about to leave, but something quick:

Make your welcome headers into an image.

You don't want the spiders seeing that text on every page, as it will show up in every single search result, lessening the importance of other keywords on those pages.

If you look in one of the other threads in Critque section I posted how to do an image map such as that with code examples, but don't have time ATM to re-explain it

Will post more later

I personal would loose the portal. Too much stuff on there thats not doing any good seo wise. Title is a tad long. You always want you most important word first in your title. and h1 tags

I have several things I would do..

one, cut your title down, and 2 take advantage of the archive links in vbseo..

your welcome header isn't bad, but you need to do some work to it, add more keywords in the description..

I have more, but I'm about 70 questions from being able to go to bed still :(
don't ya love school...lol ya'd think it would be easy for an old guy like me..

I don't want to lose the portal, but I am working on losing some of the not needed stuff. And add more content to the news & lastest threads. My members really love the lastest threads, & so do I for that matter. I have a few ideas, may take me a day or 2 to figure it out.

title, keywords & description... Yes this is needed badly. I have a hard time with this. What is the best way to go about it. I have thought about paying someone to help me, but I don't make a lot of money so it makes it very hard.
I have installed several freeware softwares & tried them with no luck.


Thanks for all the ideas, dreck

Ok, setup my portal home page to not allow guess to see anything but the News. This way my members & I can still have are stats, lastest threads, etc.
Also, I created an image welcome message.

I am going to work on the title, description & keywords now.

Does anyone else see anything that can be improved?


Thank you, dreck

Thanks, dreck
