    Okay you asked for it. I haven't had any real objective review of my website or my recently started weblog. I am web ignorant. I use a standard real estate web hosting service with a few web formats. Since you offered FREE advice I can’t say no.

    My website is on my profile.

    Please don’t spend too much time on this. I know we are all trying to make a buck.

    Thanks, Mike

    I need help! I to haven't had anyone critique my website. I also don't understand what to do to register with search engines and all of that.

    Hi Shea,

    I would love any advice you have time to office on my tax and accounting website. My current SEO guy (i.e. me) is pretty incompetent in this area. I learned about rel="nofollow" only a couple weeks ago.

    Thanks. John Huddleston Huddleston Tax Consulting

    What a generous offer Shea!

    If you have the time, I wouldn't mind an outside opinion on my website. www.mountainleagles.org I'm a real novice and did it myself. I've been considering updating it, but don't really know what needs to be changed. Any advice you might have is certainly welcome. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

    Hi Shea,

    would love a critique. I'm happy with my website and its search engine rank at the moment but am wondering if adding photos/images of people is worth it or not...

    Aside from keywords, fresh content and incoming links what else is there to do to increase search engine popularity?

    Cheers,

    Hi Shea,

    How do you do? I have been working on this site http://www.siteometrics.com for some time now. It provides free SEO tools and is free to use. All the tools have been coded by me. Though there are many sites of this kind now but when i started working on it ie 2005 there were few of it's kind. I once again wish to revive it and am spending time on it these days.

    Could you please have a look at it and provide some valuable thoughts/suggestions of yours as what could be added/done to it (new tool) which can add value to it and make it more helpful to people looking for free SEO tools. Any other opinion/suggestion about it would be most welcome and highly appreciated as well.

    Regards,

    Anita CM

    Mark, I'm not an SEO expert so take my comments with a grain of salt. You included the counties in your title but not the cities. I would think a search for "bellingham assisted living" would be more likely than "whatcom assisted living". Have you done keyword research? You have "assisted living" in your title and meta description but not "assisted living facility". I would think that would be a good long tail but I may be wrong. Keyword research should answer that question. I would also feature "Bellingham" more times and in larger type on your home page.

    For what it's worth.

    Hi Shea,

    Hi Shea, thanks so much If you were in town(LA) I'd love to offer you a reflexology session. I've started a new do it yourself site. Although it's a work in progress and not finished, if you have any more SEO ideas that would be great. The company is citymax and I'm not sure how the do it yourself thing stands up in SEO, but the system helps me a lot as I'm always changing and adding things to my site.

    I'm a web designer, and I dabble in SEO, but I'm curious to see an outside opinion, if you have time.

    Have a great day. -Matt

    Hello Shea,

    Last year, I built www.towncarseatac.com and added it to a lot of directories. It started getting great SERP ranking. Now it is nowhere. BTW, this enom domain actually points to the site (hosted free by google) at http://towncarseatac.googlepages.com which is being phased out soon. Could this be the problem?

    Thanks, Chris
